THE HOPELESS CAUSE THAT IS THE BBC.

Fortunately, last nights 'Question Time' was the last in the series, with a break for the summer. Earlier in the evening, in advertising the programme, all that was said, was, that John Lydon would appear on the panel. Lydon, for the unaware, was one of the 'Sex Pistols'. Just the type of retarded intellect pursued by the child- like broadcaster, The Beeb.

As expected, from a so-called 'Pop celebrity', we were entreated to a barrage of appalling language, the stock in trade of Lydon and his ilk. One could have bet one's home on the fact that a question on drugs would be on the agenda. This was obviously 'bread and butter' to anyone from the 'Pop' culture. We got all the 'lifestyle choice' drivel from this icon of the fringe culture, beloved by one of the world's most appalling broadcasters.

We can only hope that the new Director General, George Entwistle, who takes up his position in the Autumn, will improve the quality of its output for such programmes. Although it could be that he embraces this 'dumbing down' process, having, of course, been party to this departure from responsible broadcasting. We shall see.

We have suggested previously, that there is no room for politicians on the panel; they should be replaced by members of the public. Hopefully we could muster a few, who can put more than two words together coherently.


THE CRASS LEFT WING BIAS MUST ALSO GO.
