Oh dear - it clashes with Nick Gruesome's cameo appearance on Question Time.

Time to figure out how the DVD recorder works.

i was thinking the same - im just going to have to flick between the 2. Nope i dont know who his guest is - or even if there is going to be anyone senior. Just the website for Newsnight said todays discussion - the postal strikes so it looks like they are covering something?

Is there any way of supplying Newsnight with some information about whats been happening behind the scenes. The info the BBC has about the reasons for Industrial Action has been pretty sub standard so far.

Ah Nuts you beat me to it OPGPAT

lol yeah the FAQ i sent is pretty good but you can always send more stuff. I just went to their web site after doing a search and they have an email address for stories/info.

my covering email said-

'So far, main media outlets including the BBC have failed miserably in detailing the everyday working conditions and institutionalised harrasment that fuel this dispute. This document should not be a revelation to serious journalists, but with respect, from reading and viewing recent news reports on this dispute I think it will be.

I would'nt get my hopes up that Paxman will give anyone a verbal kicking ! I get the impression most journalists are scared from Mandelson and his cronies. Higson and Tolhurst are becoming an embarassment even to themselves with the s**t they spout. Look for a move into politics for those two once they've screwed us over!!

The BBC news mantra is "pay, modernisation and conditions" in that order. If they reversed it, it'd be closer to the truth.

It'll be a right bear pit but that's politics - bring it on :hmmmm

Cyclops says he's confident that Jack Straw ( Ex Barrister ) is capable of taking Nick Griffin on , Straw is known to be a good operator on his Blackburn , East Lancashire patch and the likes of nearby Burnley is BNP Territory .

Griffin is very good with words and very devious and manipulative . I'm afraid the BNP won two European Seats so instead of protesting and carrying on , you just have to hope somebody can pin him down and trip him up .
