    How am I a troll?? Someone asked me a question and I answered. I provided a couple of examples as to why I believe there is propaganda in BBC programmes. So tell me exactly why I am a troll.

    And someone took what I said COMPLETELY out of context, typical of people who think they're so high and mighty above everybody else. I didn't say I only read the sun, then end the sentence. I said it's the only paper I read because I have time to read the small casual and sometimes amusinc articles whilst in the middle of things at work. MASSIVE difference.

    The Question time should have had a broader audience to reflect the support Nick Griffin is obviously getting. Someone asked the most important question of the night, the question on most people's mind, 'With rising levels of unemployment why are we still allowing more immigrants into the country?' This question was then totally ignored.

    Regarding your comment that my arguement was flimsy, I was simply providing a couple of examples from the top of my head. Do you not think Casualty in particular is guilty of left wing pro immigration propaganda given the examples I provided?

    All you have to do is make sure the aerial is disconnected and all the stations de-tuned.

    That's not true - you don't need to do anything if you don't watch broadcast programmes. Sure, it might reduce the suspicion that you're lying if it went to court, but there is no legal requirement to detune a TV if you don't have a licence.

    The only newspapers I read is the Sun and that's only when I do an early at work. It's cheap and the articles are short so I can read one quickly then carry on doing something.

    How is that completely out of context and a massive difference, you are still stating that you only read the Sun, the rest of the sentence as to why you read it is irrelevant, your original post stated newspapers in the plural so unless you list others that according to you is the only one you read.

    Oh and no need to shout.:rolleyes:

    Mrsalice: is either a troll or lives in a cupboard. Do you expect to be taken seriously?
    I guess its the "lives in a cupboard" bit that's right... after all it did take her nearly two weeks to notice your comment. :D

    Nasty Nick and his mates can count on a tiny proportion of support in the country, he had a tiny proportion of support in the studio. The rest of us will happily tell him what me think of him and his 'policies' the rest of the studio happily told him what they thought of him and his 'policies'. That sounds pretty fair to me.

    The question wasn't ignored, he couldn't answer it.
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
