Strictly confusing 10:51am on 15 Dec 2008 I do worry about the BBC.

My 6 Year old pointed out that it did not matter whether the judges in Strictly caused a draw at the top or not!

In a three couple system with an equal weighting to judges and public. The couple who scored the lowest was always going to be in the dance off.

The funny bit is that if the judges had scored them 1,2,3 and the public had swapped the top and bottom we would have ended up with all the couples on 4 Points! A three way dance off!
Are green taxes dead? 11:13pm on 27 May 2008 Why are ministers constantly allowed to get away with stating that the proportion of tax on fuel has gone down with the fuel price rises? Yes, the proportion of tax has gone down; but due to VAT, the revenue the treasury realises has gone up.

The gain through VAT in the last year could be removed from the duty and therefore maintain a certain equilibrium or a measured rise. Even better the VAT could be on the price of the fuel rather than the fuel and the duty. (A tax on a tax)

Why, in the interview tonight, did Kirsty Wark not hammer this home to the smug environment minister Phil Woolas?
