Disgusted. Again.

I took the liberty of cutting and pasting this from the Forces Reunited Newsletter:




"After the lacklustre coverage of the Diamond Jubilee, the BBC has now insulted the Veteran's of WW2 Bomber Command, their Families and the Fundraisers who raised over 6 Million Pounds, by not showing the unveiling of the long awaited Memorial.


Instead "Auntie" will be showing repeats or Tennis, great if your a Sports fan, but surely the loss of 55,573 killed out of a total of 125,000 aircrew, and commemorating them and all who served in Bomber Command should be higher on the TV Listings, a further 8,403 were wounded in action and 9,838 became prisoners of war.


Perhaps not paying our TV Licence fees might just give them a Jolt, after all can they really jail a Non Fee payer when they can't even jail hardened criminals!


Or we can do something British, we can write to Auntie and let them know exactly how we feel.

You can email those in the know at the BBC and share your thoughts:

Mark Thompson, BBC director-general

Helen Boaden, head of BBC news

Sir Michael Lyons, Chairman, BBC Trust

I am steadily getting more and more fed up with all of the 'mainstream' meeja. By reading various blogs, then watching/listening to the 'news' I appear to be living in at least two different worlds. One a fairly depressing reality, the other an even more depressing  work of, well, propaganda.

Competence

I was intrigued by an editorial in EPE (http://www.epemag3.com/) . He states that; none of our current bunch of 'leaders' have any technological skills. No scientists , no physicists, chemists, in fact no one that would have any appreciation of the practical world we now live in. Not it's pitfalls, nor  it's true potential... On an other blog, last year, it was noted than at  the memorial service at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day, not one of our 'leaders' had any medals. None. Zip. Not even a Blue Peter badge.

And you wonder why we appear to be led by clueless lackwits?
