If that's what keeps you going through the day, then you keep telling yourself that.

I can't imagine even Jade is desperate for this publicity. She's just being asked questions as she's high-profile.

No.
Well that's fairplay, it's strange the way we all seem to live our lives in the public gaze.

- Aaron, I have doubts about the veracity of any info on policy decisions that emanates from the BBC these days. Did you see that 'working-class bloke' on Nick Robinson's BBC report about the Total strikes the other night?
Here's ALL that Nick Robinson the political editor for the BBC allowed to be broadcast:
Working-class bloke in woolly hat to BBC reporter:
"These Portuguese and Eyeties – we can't work alongside of them." - end of film clip.
Did you see it?
If not, pause for a moment before reading the next paragraph and answer: What do you think of the motives of those working-class protesters now. Racist?
I certainly did when I saw that clip. Now here's what the working-class protester actually said in full without anything taken out of context:
"These Portuguese and eyeties – we can't work alongside of them: we're segregated from them. They're coming in in full companies."
Puts a different complexion on what's being said don't you think? That's why I no longer trust the BBC to do the right thing, (or rather certain individuals in key BBC positions).
So why is the BBC taking sides? Because Working-class + protests spreading = Shit scared government. And we know that these days the BBC daren't annoy the government after the last debacle saw half the top BBC echelon lose their jobs. They have to show they're doing their bit.
I no longer fully trust the BBC to tell me anything like the real truth. One thing you can be sure of - had it been Prince Phillip, they'd have never quoted him out-of-context, even going so far as they did last time to explain to viewers what THEY THINK Prince Phillip REALLY MEANT TO SAY INSTEAD, ie., (Indians/cowboys). That was extra helpful of them; shame they couldn't have extended that to the northern working-class protester.
Carol Thatcher sacked? Bah some people will believe anything they're told by the BBC.

Uhh. Well it certainly shows that editors snip footage in what they consider to be convenient points. I didn't interpret it as racist so can't comment on the effect that that editing may have.

LOL. I'm not Vegan but I am smug.
I suppose the news is entertainment like anything else these days.
Racist working class types? Hooray!
Prince Harry uses a racist word? Hooray!
But make sure you sound sympathetic so the monarchists don't turn off.
Africans killing Africans? Boring!
Black rebels killing white farmers hooray!
Arabs and Jews killing each other with big explosions and helicopters?
Double hooray!
It's all bullshit.
