So it musst be true - Melting ice may cause cold winters it was on Newsround so all the kids will know. Wonder why it took two years for them to work it out and wonder what happened to all the cold winters before. Cold because it's winter.

Was it my imagination? No it wasn't Liebour leader Millibland talking b**locks about "patrotism" in the UK economic strategy. As Liebour flooded the country with migrant workers as we suffered under their rule somwhat ironic. However by 6 O'clock this story had vanished no doubt on the assumption that it would provoke the same kind of reaction as the Brown "British jobs for Britsh workers fiasco". Also nice to see the report on Vince Cable doing what Vince Cable does best_________(insert your own words in the space. Also nice to see the £9.3 million grant being pushed into the background on the Nissan story - £9.3 Milllion grant to secure 400 direct jobs sounds like a bargain to me....not!

Oh I almost forgot BBc Breakfast this morning. BONUS payments. Relax it's ok for once it's not bankers. In the twisted world of BBc it seems that the contractual bonus payments for John Lewis are ok but as we know others are not. Looks the the Beeb has put it's hands of doom on this one though after discussing how a co-operative run company might be a template John Lewis has cut it's bonus payments this year. John Lewis co-operative model "not a solution"

I'm struck by how amateur is the article and report you've linked to Carl. It's not made clear who is actually talking, and who they represent, except by deduction reading the blurb below the clip. John Lewis has reported an 8.7% fall in annual profits and has cut its bonus for the first time in three years.
The firm said this year's Partnership bonus would be £165.2m, or 14% of salary.
The Partnership is owned by its 76,500 staff, who receive a share of any profits at the end of the company's financial year.
Ed Mayo, from Co-operatives UK, told the BBC: "We are unlikely to move to an all out John Lewis economy".Strictly speaking it is not a bonus that's paid to John Lewis workers but a form of profit sharing, and unlike other large private companies, it's spread across the board and not just to a select few executives. Seems like a good model to me, despite the confusing BBC headline, probably on purpose. For a supposed 'failure', as the BBC seem to want us to think, they seem to have done all right, despite some losses.

BBc Brakfast back to student fees. This time they introduce it as "A doctor, a politician, a journalist and a fashion buyer. Then on to some VT and a very unrepresentative selection of English youth. I aim to pay off a 30K debt states one in "a year". |Then on to a studio interview where four of the two from the video take part "we know student fees are £9K" says one (are they all £9k really). Sorry to be nasty but I'm going to bge I would expect these bunch to to be asking me "do you want fries with that" more than being in a top line job career, but I could be wrong. "I want a high pay job" states one of the others-don't we all love. Yes student fees and how much they are rears it's head again. Compare the choice of students on this "aspirational" story with the choice of kids earlier in the week. Yes problem kids cooking sausages out doors and a different "selection" of students. Good stories one type bad stories another type.

It's hardly surprising that with so little creative content of any quality comprising BBC output nowadays, they have to justify their funding by regurgitating past productions.

If you want a cheap laugh at someone else's expense check out - Nel the latest edition to the always fair and never biased Newsround. A presenter complete with the usual "comedy" expressions we have come to expect from this program but a seeming inability to read an auto cue.How much does she get paid for this? It wasn't like this in my day with John craven.

It’s 1 O’clock it’s the news and it’s road privatisation story time. Complete with members of the public seeming to agreeing with toll roasd. As usual no one says stuff that, Me being the man who going up and down the M6 from time to time would never use the toll road. When I lived in Southampton I would drive miles out of my way so I didn’t have to pay to use the Itchen bridge. Then Milibland to spout off about the hard pressed motorist…err I don’t remember the last Government going out of it’s way to help “The hard pressed motorist”.

So the BBc run the story on honour killings, which of course most of us knew all about anyway. Strange how the BBc kept refering to Southern Asians as the main culture responsible for these atrocities. Maybe they meant to say a different word begining in M......?

To give credit where it's due, at least they did make a programme that focussed on it - which is long overdue. Somebody they interviewed did say that it was largely among the Muslim community where these acts were perpetrated, which quite surprised me to hear it on the BBC.

One thing you will never hear from the BBC in respect of today's NHS debate, or indeed the budget tomorrow is that the UK NHS is, as of 2011's figures, the entire world's 4th biggest employer! One in 23 of the UK's working population now works for the NHS, that's 1.626 million people! Utter insanity- thank goodness leeches are making a come-back- let's face it we'll be back in the Middle Ages once the NHS, it's socialist delinquent doctors, and it's militant trade unionised workforce drag us back into the Middle Ages! www.daytradingshares.com/diversified_section/2011/Worlds_Largest_Employers.html

Oh suprise! Never jumping to conclusions without evidence it would appear THE RIGHT WING NEO NAZI suspected of the killings in southern France is probably in reality a MUSLIM. When ever this sort of attrocity occours it seems that the BBc and the rest of the media have made their minds up on the culprit before the evidence appears just as the shooting of the American senator.

Well said Chernkov stories I've been told about the NHS recently don't exactly fire me up with confidence. I note the story about the poisonings at Stepping Hill has dropped off the radar now.

'Was it my imagination or has THE MUSLIM gunman in France story dissapeared on Breakfast already'
The story is still going strong on the World Service with all the blame of course going on Israel.
The b-bbc have done a fine job in trawling around France to find every Muslim apologist they could find to tell us that the blame, apart from Israel, falls on immigration policy, social inclusion, and a lack of understanding of 'The Religion of Death'. The French army was also to blame for rejecting him despite him having a criminal record as long as your arm.
A good part of the blame for the increase in terrorist attacks and murder of specific ethnic groups has to fall on the media, especially the bbc, for sanitising the terrorists and the dogma behind their attrocities.

Those in society who are able to be, or who have started thinking for themselves, will be realising this. Those who still allow the likes of the BBC to do their thinking for them will be easily ridiculed when presented with the facts.

If they had been Jewish or 'right wing Christian' whatever that means the b-bbc would have highlighted the fact in no uncertain terms.

Ahh I see the BBc website (last updated at 17:25 yesterday) is now running the names and the charges however the last news TV broadcast I saw last night was still running the "vague" version of the story.

So here we go again the tanker drivers have voted for strike action, but no date of any action has been decided. I'm watching the ten O'clock news will the BBc do it? Yes as usual they run the story and manage to stick in a film clip of cars lined up at a garage. Wouldn't it be nice if everything was as predictable as the BBc? Oh I see North west news have dropped the proposed "extremist" demonstration ban story that I complained about earlier in the day on its 22:30 slot.
