Sceptacled Bear Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I know I risk being relegated to the lunatic fringe by bringing this up (again!), but this morning I accidentally watched the BBC citizenship lecture that's entitled 'breakfast'. (apologies if this already has a thread, I couldn't see it but admit to only looking at the first page) The attitude and analysis during the 'business' (read house-panic) section was shocking. I'd invite anyone who hasn't watched it in a while to have a look, just to re-orient yourselves with either how off-the-planet the programme is, or consider how the whole HPC belief thing is akin to reporting kidnap by little green men. Maybe someone could set up a web-site or blog to keep track of the lies/deliberate distortions? Or does anyone know where a respectable one exists?

There used to be a poster on here called W12 who actually worked for the BBC, but even he wouldn't defend the BBC's Breakfast "output."

Caveat Mortgagor Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I saw the words 'housing market recovers' or something similar in a big headline behind the bloke waffling on. I tried to reconcile that headline with the content which was - builders want more mortgage availability. Did i miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs D has told me to stop shouting at Bill and the bird who looks like a boy with a vulgar diamond ring. I will be happily having a conversation, eating breakfast, or preparing to walk the dog when from nowhere I have a bout of Tourrettes aimed at the morons on my screen. Mrs D is getting fed up of it and is worried about my blood pressure. Accepting???? Me???????? Wash your mouth out!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
