Not enough people care. |

Of course someone asked them. I asked you if you saw a show of hands.

It was on the Radio.
So you can not see it.
But you hear them Angry at the Teachers Strike.

It was on the Radio. You cannot see it. Therefore you cannot see how edited it was either. But that is not the point really LTNS. The fact is that it is but a small audience - relative to the rest of the population.
Having said that, unlike you who appears to feel this urgent need to be marching to the same drumbeat as what you perceive the majority to be marching to, I have my own, idiosyncratic I'll admit, view. I determine my view on the basis of what I know and my own, highly personal again, experience of the world. I neither seek nor care whether that view is 'contemporary' enough for your liking or whether my view coincides with the majority - overwhelming or otherwise.
I imagine that many of us posting on these forums have our own views on things. Sometimes they may actually agree with the views expressed by others. Other times they may be at odds. Such is the nature of the beast LTNS, especially when discussing various issues.
I would therefore greatly appreciate it if in future you would refrain from making comments about the validity of views held by others and instead restrict yourself to either merely stating your own view and the reasons therefore ... if you feel the need to elaborate that is. You are of course at perfect liberty to discuss the points of view other posters have proffered. However that would mean engaging in an exchange of ideas, not just a pronouncement that they are wrong.
It would also be greatly appreciated if you actually managed to refrain from patronising other posters by dismissing their view as being either outdated or unsupported by the average Daily Mail/Sun/Mirror reader.
(By the way, I am fully aware that this above post will in all likelihood fall on stony ground. Still, every so often I really have this urge to try and bring you back from planet Zog. And though I know that you are unlikely to return earth-side ... I'm probably wasting my time but what the hey ... it is mine to waste!) |

The Bloated BBC did not need any special Editing

| So Lt how come on the "BBC" "ITV" channel 5 all the interviews with parents seemed to support the teachers strike the only real negative reporting was by channel 4?? I have many friends who are either teachers or ex teachers;I have spoken to them and not one of them were or are happy at the way teachers are treated. It has taken the "NUT" to actually stand up for thier members whereas other teaching unions caved in at the very begining! It seems you do not agree on fair working environments or fair pay (In line with inflation)that says to me you work as either a solicitor or you work for local government cos you lot are the only assholes that do not have to worry about salary or your gold plated pension(FACT????) |
