Labour's long night of painful firsts 10:21am on 08 Jun 2009 One very worrying aspect of Gordo's determination to hang on for another 12 months is that this could give him time to try and push through some "constitutional reform" proposals that might attempt to swing the balance in favour of Labour at the next election.

For example I don't imagine that he'd have much difficulty in getting his horde of MP's plus the Lib Dems to vote for a version of PR that increased their chances of hanging onto their seats. Hopefully the much derided (by Labour) House of Lords ought to put a stop to such a plan but you never know.......

Several earlier posts have called GB a fascist. I think I prefer the description trainee dictator - the more I see of him the more I have come to feel that he really does believe that he is the only person qualified to be in charge of the country and anything that he does to increase that probability is really in the country's best interests and in no way unreasonable or unfair. It's not really a right wing or left wing thing - for further details of this attitude of mind see R Mugabe; A Hitler; B Mussolini; Franco; Stalin etc etc
BBC HDTV 09:52am on 07 May 2008 Thanks for the info contained in your blog. I've been viewing BBCHD for over a year now and have been very impressed by the improved picture quality,
You say "We need to get much better at communicating our schedules"
but your BBCHD website now only shows listings for 2 days instead of a full week as before.

Is this a temporary glitch? I hope so as the web site has been my only way of finding out what is going to be on and I, like many viewers I expect, like to plan my viewing a week at a time.
