Thursday 26 November 2009 - the plan so far 1:56pm on 26 Nov 2009 I personally could not care less what BBC employees were being paid. Why should the public have to be informed on it? That's between the employee, the employer and the Inland Revenue :p

I don't know what various political parties manifesto pledges are regarding the BBC, but it is an institution which should be preserved.
Wednesday 25 November 2009 10:05am on 26 Nov 2009 @Ecolizzy #34 - I've got a giggling fit after reading that article! No wonder they've been going on about becoming vegetarian....
Wednesday 25 November 2009 11:41pm on 25 Nov 2009 @ Hardylane #22 - Wikipedia is hardly the most reliable source of information on a subject is it? Anyone can go on there and write anything, even if it is complete rubbish. As for knowledge being "free" - there is no such thing. If it was, then there would be a lot of unemployed teachers/professors etc....
Wednesday 25 November 2009 11:38pm on 25 Nov 2009 @ JAPerson #20 - I've always wondered why there has been government funding given to religious schools anyway. Perhaps it's time government funding was taken away from all faith schools.

@Cookieducker #21 - I think his name was Lord Hunt........

Bumper edition of Newsnight tonight - from Jeremy's discussion with:
Ed Balls v Paul Goodman on the faith school funding fiasco to
Danny Finkelstein & John Redwood on Phillip Blond and then the Wikipedia debate. The guy on his laptop had the entire place laughing about how he wouldn't clear the rubbish in his neighbourhood as it didn't benefit him......

Superb stuff :o)
Wednesday 25 November 2009 6:31pm on 25 Nov 2009 A HUGE Congratulations to the Newsnight Team!!!!! :o)
Look forward to tonight's show too
Information: Have you ever paid for it? 01:41am on 25 Nov 2009 People read the red tops online because it's embarrasing to be caught reading a hard copy in public :p

If pressed to pay for it, I certainly wouldn't bother.

Most people do fileshare, so do not pay for music/tv programmes/films as they can get them online for free. Most people have Sky/Freeview - and there is a wealth of news on there, so why bother paying to read online content?
Tuesday 24 November 2009 00:29am on 25 Nov 2009 @ Ecolizzy #36 - I don't remember JJ being "off topic."
Tuesday 24 November 2009 00:08am on 25 Nov 2009 @ #30 BankSlickerminustheR, I thought the Tobin Tax was a rubbish idea :p (and the FT doesn't support it either). I miss JJ's posts as well :o(

An eminent edition of Newsnight - very interesting report by Paul on the secret £61.6Billion loan by the BoE and particularly the studio debate by Jeremy with Professor Milne & Michael Fallon. It seems that a few other countries, namely the US etc, have all made similar loans to stop their banks going bust. Was it such a bad idea? After the debate, it seems that it was a good idea (it was around the time of the Northern Rock collapse), so Gordon Brown didn't do badly after all. Excellent report by Richard on DNA databases and the current method of obtaining DNA samples.

Crème de la crème of the night was Jeremy with Chris Grayling. What a classic!! Jeremy highlighted the murder case of Sally Anne Bowman, and how her murderer had been traced because he was on a DNA database as he had been in a pub brawl where his DNA was taken by the police. Ha ha ha @ Jeremy pointing out to Grayling that when David Cameron had stated "we will be there to protect you," in his conference speech, Jeremy said that he'd really meant was "we will be there to protect you unless Chris Grayling is banging on about his civil liberties issue on DNA." :p

Absolute corker!
Tuesday 24 November 2009 8:22pm on 24 Nov 2009 @ Indignantindegene #1 - I wholeheartedly agree with you about taking everyone's DNA samples via the GP. It's an excellent idea. We already have our medical records/blood groupings etc on our GPs records, so to add a DNA sample to the records would be a good idea. Not only would it help in terms of fighting crime, it would also help people trace their relatives easily too.

A huge *GASP* at the £61.1billion loan to RBS & HBOS - look forward hearing a lot more on that story :o)
Monday 23 November 2009 00:51am on 24 Nov 2009 @ Mim #26 - Jeremy would make a fantastic PM :o)
Not only would he be talking sense on the country, he wouldn't take any nonsense from any of his political colleagues either, and he'd be completely transparent. Just perfect.
