You can't beat the BBC for documentaries
-
They need to do a documentary on a the rise of post soviet, socialism in Europe and America and how it leverages environmental and social issues to increase state control of those societies. Perhaps contrast it with the former soviet union style of communism.

I am fairly certain that they have (or at least they have licensed one). I watched the end couple of episodes of a mini-series on BBC2 about a year to eighteen months ago that covered that... but without knowing the title Google and Wikipedia are not being helpful in tracking it down. They were mainly narrated, showing clips of various political and social events since the Cold War, and discussing with professors and other such commentators on how they have impacted the growth and power (control) of political Europe over its countries and people. It was discussed here in the Soapbox, although it was not brought up by me.

Upon rereading what you wrote and how I responded, I owe you an apology. It was an over reaction having far more to do with some of the previous posts than anything you wrote here or previously.

Mot completely, unless you ignore the rather convienient suicide that closed the story. I suspect there was more than a small element of truth in the initial leak; not all of it, but enough to cause some serious panicing and late night meetings up in Whitehall.

the BBC has been discovered cheating on the results of competitions on children's shows
It was show, singular, and if you take the incident in context it was actually a perfectly sound decision to make when technical difficulties strike during a live television broadcast. You don't actually think the prizes were given out do you?

forced to publically apologise for lying about the Queen's behavior
That really was a slow news week, and was a result of a private opinion being mistaken. Incidentally, it was the BBC who found the problem, and who took action to appologise, which directly counters what you claim it proves. :rolleyes: There are many, many examples you could have picked to make your point. Those were just pathetic.

Facts are verifyable; opinions are not. I offered facts; you offer an opinion about some great conspiracy in order to obsfucate the facts.

Really? Its okay to lie cheat and steal during technical difficulties? I guess you do things differently on that side of the pond. However again you offer an opinion. I offered facts.

It's okay to broadcast lies about your Queen during slow news weeks? For her sake I hope there aren't too many of those.

Jon, try reading what I wrote and not assuming it is another reply from (or to) Martin.

I'm sorry, David, I must not have made it clear: 1. I read what you wrote. 2. I made no assumptions about, nor was I confused between, you and Martin.
