And of course Mailites are saying that Harriet Harman should have got life imprisonment for her little traffic incident - mainly because she's a political figure.

WTF?

Hahaha, what stunningly transparent bollocks. It couldn't be more obvious if she'd posted the old PEOPLE LIKE YOU VOTING BNP leaflet through your door personally.

How true. Bit like the old "I'm not a racist myself but I might just give the BNP a try next time".

Ah, you say that, Cllr Chris Cooke claims not to support the BNP yet he happily prints and distributes BNP material. So it must be true. Mustn't it?

BNP member given 11 years for making bombs and guns

If it shows up in the Mail I guess the comments will be suspended.

Excellent. He makes the point well that nothing happens in the Mail universe without Dacre's express say-so.

I caught sight of Die Mail's front page on Wednesday in the newsagent and when I saw the splash headline -'Shameless unrepentant and still lying,' I assumed they were running an advert for themselves.

I enjoyed that one

Also, if this is true...

Mail Hack
2010-01-15 13:52:23

For obvious reasons I have not put my name on this email. But I am what it says in the box, a Mail hack. Thanks on behalf of everyone here for the laugh you have given us all today. I would reckon if it were possible to do a 'most read' analysis on any one piece of writing within the office today, you're winning by a mile. And Dacre's lieutenants are looking even more stressed than usual

Fozzy · **Posted:** Fri Jan 15, 2010 5:31 pm

He says this:

Quote:

The psychologist, who was terribly serious by the way, felt it was highly likely that I figure in homoerotic fantasies which fill Dacre with terrible shame and guilt. There can be no other explanation, he said, for the scale of hatred expressed in his coverage of me over many years

On that basis, the fantasies must feature threesomes with Jonathan Ross. Makes for a very nasty mental picture indeed.

I was going to post this in the BBC bashing thread.

iPlayer console use up 74% in one month
BBC gaining popularity among gamers.

Quote:

The BBC has announced that its online-streaming service, iPlayer, has seen some fantastic traction among gamers in December*.

Figures released today show that the iPlayer is now being accessed by one in eight people on a games console.

Currently the only consoles which can access the iPlayer (officially) are the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii.

If December's* figures are anything to go by, then the future is very bright for the iPlayer on a console.

Compared to November, iPlayer access via the Wii and PS3 went up a massive 74 per cent.

Among the more popular programmes on the iPlayer were the Doctor Who finale*, Top Gear in Bolivia and the England V South Africa test match on radio.

Sony recently improved its access to the iPlayer on the PS3, adding a handy button to the console's XMB.

*Emphasis mine to illustrate the point being made in the Bashing the BBC thread.

Also this article too.

iPlayer zooms past 100 million monthly streams
Bumper December for the Beeb

Quote:

The BBC iPlayer enjoyed its best-ever month in December, with the online video player cruising past the 100 million monthly streams mark for the first time.

The popularity of the iPlayer was because of a number of factors, namely the finale of David Tennant as Doctor Who (1.3 million streams) and Top Gear's special set in Bolivia which ended up as being the most-watched programme over the December period.

HAHA oh dear. BBC, December and Doctor Who/David Tennant who'd a thunk it. :mrgreen:

That ties in with what we were saying on the BBC thread in countering their article ridiculing the Christmas viewing figure decline. Perhaps from now on the way that BARB collate the viewing figures should change to include BBC i-Player downloads. The music charts have adapted to the change in the way people acquire music- so should the telly bods.

This is few days old now, I've only just got round to posting it but think it deserves to be in this thread

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8456708.stm

London is the highest performing region in England at GCSE level, the latest secondary school league tables show.

London's state school pupils have outperformed the national average in GCSE performance every year since 2005.

Tony Travers, director of the Greater London Group at the London School of Economics, says much of the success of London schools in recent years can be explained by high levels of immigration in the capital.

Partly that, and partly the Excellence in Cities Programme, introduced 1999. Money followed disadvantage, extra help for underachievers of all levels of ability, extra support for the most able.

Ditched by the hideous Charles Clarke...
