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.

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.
Totally agree Tony, two completely different worlds..........and that beeb report was lack lustre.
ReplyDeleteReality, the media don't know the meaning of the word.
Hi Jen!
ReplyDeleteLack lustre? I almost had to search for it. It's funny, 'journalists' are supposed to record everything in an unbiased manner? Hmm.
