Oh Britain, Please Britain

Recommended Posts

Listening to the news, or watching Newsnight .. or checking the BBC website for any news … I often end up with this impression: sometimes I feel the UK media pays more attention to news related to far away places ( an example would be the Middle East ) than what is happening here :confused:

 

 

correct me if you feel I am wrong :|

I'm disgusted that there are no more Political scandals involving eroticism, oranges and rope (90's Tories?).

A New York mayoral candidate Mr Weiner apparently keeps sending photos of his "weiner" to strangers at the moment.

I am purposely avoiding the news at the moment,as my gag reflexes can't take no more!

It does make you wonder though,what stories would have made the news this week,if the royal baby wasn't due.

It's silly season so not much, although 2000 Syrians have died since I typed this. Tragic, but not new sadly.

True. And I was sat on a beach in Rhodes last week reflecting that it was happening only 500 miles away.

 

That's like sitting on a beach in Devon while genocide takes place in Scotland.

 

If nothing else, the news reminds us how lucky we are.

I actually much prefer bbc world news to bbc news. Problem is we get very little interesting news from around the whole world. There's loads going on in Asia that we never hear about.
