I totally agree with Terry Waite. Many of the ills of the world derive from the social and individual beliefs and behaviours. Much of this coming from low self-worth and self-esteem. To resolve things we need to change these aspects and the things like kidnap, stabbings, rapes etc. will not need to occur. Punishment alone only deals with the symptom not the cause.
I teach a life-style system that aims to assist people to resolve their emotional and social issues and I am sure there are many other people also working in that area

do you know that in Canada you are not allowed to call it 'rapeseed' oil because of the negative connotations!! true they call it Canola!

I was interested to hear the comment by the brother of the murdered hostage (sorry I missed his name, was it Phil Begley?) speaking to Terry Waite. Until yesterday I was in the same position. Among other things I couldn't understand why hostage situations happen or what such groups aim to achieve, or why they had to be so brutal.
Yesterday I finished an extremely interesting and insighful book by Ed Hussain called The Islamist. The last two chapters in particular have opened my eyes to many aspects. Understanding is a start and has helped to put things into context. Worth reading.

How nice of Mr Wyman to dress up for the occasion. As is typical of many of the so called 'stars' their appearance leaves a lot to be desired. I guess fame, of any sort, means you can act as you want. What a waste of license fee payers money. The whole concept of some 'celeb' sitting there answering mundane questions on topics they have no knowledge of is absurd. If you have to have a 'celeb' get him on, talk to him then get on with the show. Some of your guests have looked pained at being quized on obscure topics.

I agree with Bennock (above)Wyman was a mess, and the rest left a lot to be desired, all talking at the same time it was bedlam !!I think it is time to get back to some BBC standards get rid of the adulteres and get one good presenter, that does not mean jonathon ross !! Wake Up BBC and smell the coffee, you must start to consider the fee payers.

Hi,
I love the One Show but feel that to much is being packed into a half hour programme. I would also like to hear more from your main guests. Could the programme not be extended to 45 min or 1 hour programme.

Not one of the best One Shows this evening. Half an hour of the Stones' Hyde Park concert would have been better. The Stones were excellent in the 60s, but after that I don't believe they did anything really noteworthy.
Hostage situatiuons have and always will be too appalling to put into words. It's also such a pity that mankind was ever taken in by any form of religion, which has been responsible for so many outrageous acts.

George explained that it was the dog that was bringing the ants into the house, but didn't give any advice as to who to deal with the problem. Other than than Adrian's suggestion that if there are ants near your house you shouldn't have a dog (silly man!) there wasn't any answer to the family's problem.
As for Bill Wyman, you would have thought that with his money he could afford a comb. In comparison even Adrian looked reasonably smart....

By the way I wonder if Wyman's kids ever sing that classic Motown hit 'Papa was a Rolling Stone'. I mean it must really be a Temptation...

post 7 johnholyer I am so with you on this one. Oh joy, tomorrow Cherie Blair!

Adrian never was my fave,
About Christine I just can't rave,
The turbanned gent I must admit
With me has always been a hit.
The content of the show could be great,
It's the presentation that I hate,
Christine, a giggle is NOT a comment,
And all Adrian seems to do is lament!
Methinks until he sees his cheque
He's just a miserable pain in the neck.

Slowly but surely we'll soon, Re. Director General's disclosure of BBC executives expenses today, be able to discuss the hugh salaries of all the Nu Labour luvvies at the BEEB on the One Show blog without Big Brother censoring us
Hope the One Show does a special show on how so called "BBC talent" live with the inherent contradiction of being Nu Labour supporters and decrying the 80's as all about Thatcherite greed whilst being paid eyewatering salaries during the last 10 years.

johnholyer, do you think there will be a greater degree of abasement than when he speaks to the Brand woman?

re 18: jadedoldie, I think Adrian will suck up to Cherie Blair and become tongue tied in the process. Cherie Blair will frighten him as did Jo Brand the other night. I expect Cherie Blair will have told him what questions to ask and what questions not to ask. Adrian will be desperate to please. As for Christine, she will wear a nice dress and giggle.

Post 19 johnholyer, I think sucking up is a surety, but I have a feeling Christine will need to try and stamp her personality[?]on the interview. That would be really interesting! Much as I dislike Cherie Blair I feel she could make mincemeat of these two. The lady I would love to see them interview is a particular favourite of mine, Ann Widdecombe.

Is Cherie Blair on The One Show tomorrow?
The New Labour couple Tony and Cherie have become wealthy in serving their country and follow in the hypocritical tradition of many Labour politicians including Cherie's mates Neil and Glenys Kinnock.
The Kinnocks and Blairs have done well for themselves regardless of other people in this country losing their jobs and having houses repossessed.

Post 22 apparently the arch hypocrite is indeed gracing the public with her presence tomorrow. Wonder what the fee is, as I can't imagine her doing anything for nothing?

Cherie Blair, I'm still a Socialist......... £475 per hour QC.
Whilst the cleaning lady at Cherie's Matrix Chambers is a Tory voter who gets paid £6.75 per hour.
Welcome to the Nu-labour project, a hypocrits charter for the aspiring middle class left. The One Show is a Nu Labour flag ship hence Joe Brandt one night Cherie the next... stomach churning!

re #23 jadedoldie, I expect Cherie Blair will be promoting a book. It will be interesting to see whether she turns political on the show bearing in mind how she expects to assume the title of the 'wife of the first president of Europe'. Or would that be the 'First Lady of Europe'.
Yeah, Anne Widdecombe would be fun. She would have made a good Speaker. I have always trusted her integrity.

Is Cherie Blair on tomorrow, so glad I have a wide screen to accommodate that lovely smile. Has anyone seen BBC 1 programme on the homeless, I think our Hardeep has done well in it, it really lets us know how lucky we are in out comfy little homes. Hey! jadedoldie, you being a farm girl, what do you make of the devil rapeseed churning out all that low fat spread, careful girl you don't want to be censored. LOL

More people are allergic to oil seed rape both in the field and in products than is generally recognized. My symptoms were burning eyes the first time I went past a field of it in my car.Since then the symptoms have modified to slightly swollen eyes accompanied by the funny sort of head ache you get when you have had a sleepless night and cannot concentrate.I finally realized this was caused by a direct hit to the upper sinus.
I have to check food products but get caught out by the label 'vegetable oil'.
More traditional Flax is just as good for omega three rich linseed oil as well as for linen and rope and the fields become a lovely blue colour.

geordieangel2, my comments on rapeseed would certainly get me booted off! We get a bit sick of trying to eliminate windblown spread of rape, and I HATE the virulent yellow fields. We do have a few people growing flax in this area, but when we have a wonderful product like butter why try to replace it? I can't believe it's not butter indeed!
johnholyer, Cherie Blair never has and never will be a lady despite her posturing. That pressed my buttons didn't it lol.

jadedoldie, O/K you have won me over, I'm going to the supermarket to buy real BUTTER

re #9: sky-viewer, Pursuing your point on religion: was religion created for Man, or did Man create religion for himself to fulfil an innate need?
[To fend off the PC brigade: by 'Man' I mean mankind and for 'himself' also read 'herself. We all know that God is a woman.
I rather like the Anglo Saxon word for woman 'wife man'. Nothing sinister in this I just like the sound of the two words together.]

Hey One Show and particularly Adrian - what were you thinking of last night(thursday)?
I can't be the only one who had carefully recorded Andy Murray at Wimbledon and was just about to start watching the match when you gave away the score.
Shame on you! I had consciously avoided any sport or news bulletin and didn't expect you to let me down. Please don't do it again or I'll have to stop watching you too ;)
