Ann Widdecombe & The Bbc News

[Khandro]

I turned to the BBC news last evening (which I rarely do) in order to see what coverage they gave to her inspired maiden speech to the EU Parliament, did anyone else? - if you blinked you may have missed it !
The BBC (Brussels Broadcasting Company) broadcast one sentence and followed it with, "critics have said ....". While other online media are full of it; the Telegraph has full articles on it and the Mail says, "If you only watch one video this year you should watch this one".
I find it incredible that this organisation wants every household to give it 150 quid a year for its "unbiased reporting", do you agree?

I get that you're determined to read the worst of me, but I've been honest throughout. I just liked the sound of the word -- one of my long-time favourite-sounding words, and a perfect opportunity to use it. End of. Read into it whatever you will, but you're simply wrong, and I'm bored of your implying that I spin, or am dishonest, when I do neither of those things.

TTT, no one needs your permission to respond to another’s post. Either do a bit of research or mind your own business. A thread you initiated in a similar vein just couple of days ago was removed only minutes after you pressed ‘submit’. Stop stirring.

Brilliantly articulated and stirring speech.

Could someone get her to have a "word" with Nicola Smidgeon?

Here Ms Widdicombe brilliantly and succinctly demonstrates everything that the UK is. This should be (maybe already is in some quarters) compulsory viewing outside the UK.
