www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is interesting. With ITV about to be sold to Comcast, the US could end up completely controlling the UK media. I will miss "have i got news for you" and QI. Although hopefully QI will get picked up by someone else? Although it will hasten the shutdown of DVB
What next as Donald Trump says he will take legal action against the BBC
Anyone who thought an apology to Donald Trump was going to stop his threat of a lawsuit was deluded, writes Culture and Media Editor Katie Razzall.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... So how are they going to pay for scrap the cap on child benefits & pay the Waspi women then? Public finances aren't difficult you only spend what your income is. Sure it will not make you popular with everyone but you chose your job! Either succeed or find another job.

The English celebrate the death of a Catholic who tried to blow up the King because he was the wrong religion. Fortunately he died by hanging before they had time to chop his testicles off, his intestines pulled out and his head chopped off. Its particularly popular with children.

Today i have been reminded that just because you can doesn't mean you should. Ages ago we added a function to a site that adds no value. It now transpires that it doesn't work (always). And i need to have an argument about removing it.

This is why Reform will get in next time. The current government either need to cut spending (which they will not because its unpopular) or raise taxes which they promised they wouldn't do. Wishing your way out di not going to work. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
