Looks that way, so they are slightly less useful as a result. Only just.

Tried accessing it from across the pond last week. Took ages to find some news from back home. Who pays the license fee, again? Not residents of Florida, I'd wager. >:(

I fear Nick you scepticism re a certain topical subject has reached them and they being the biggest advocates of said subject have decided you are persona non gratis  ;)

excellent - i'll have a good read of that - the bloggers are aware the beeb actively tries to indulge all viewpoints yes? maybe if you read the mail and express all day your balance gets skewed methinks  ;D

labour hated the beeb and had the DG sacked (whilst shamefully knowing that the today journalist was entirely accurate)

the tories hate the beeb and have done since thatcher

the right and left always have a problem with unbiased opinion - doesnt quite fit their world view - which means their doing a decent job imho  :y

but that site is quite funny tho  ;D
