    The programme on balance in science programming below is very interesting:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc

    It refers to the way the media in general (and the BBC in particular) tends to present science as a debate between two sides of the argument, even if there aren't really two sides to that argument.

    Actually this is all a very interesting and informative series- I recommend it all.

    If you are the same political persuasion as the BBC then yes you will agree with it all the way and you have billions to fund it because of the "unique way its funded".....................pay for us or else.

    The Soviet Union would have loved to have something like the BBC

    Just thought of an even worse example of BBC "bias". The BBC one logo used to be a spinning globe, which is pretty offensive to people who believe the world is flat.

    When running out of arguments to defend the undefendable try making a joke, yes very original I've not see that one before ;)

    Not for ages, and very infrequently at that.

    DS has become something of a joke.

    Vast areas of wasted space because of their appalling layout and the TV forums are infested with Sky promoters.

    Haven't looked in for many months, now.

    No it's not.

    Innocent until proven guilty applies to the LF, as much as it does to other offences.
    Not really. All they have to do is issue a demand / invoice then the onus is on the debtor to prove the debt is not valid.

    Well that is the way we have had to defend the company against the PRS and PPL.

    Then you have almost certainly been ill advised.

    If someone issues you with an invoice and you ignore it the very first thing they would be expected to do in a court case is to prove that a debt actually exists.

    At which point you dispute the debt, and they have to show the debt is genuine and yours, which is going to be difficult for them without a signed credit agreement.

    In truth, there is no debt.

    ETA: In order to issue a demand/invoice, they need a name.

    You can't issue a demand/invoice against "the current occupier".
