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.0 -

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 BBC0 -

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.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -

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.
