If I were PM.

You'd need to have a licence to own or breed a dog.
If you were caught selling a dog, short of it biting one of you, then you're banned from owing again for life.

I’d like to tag and amendment to this ... people in general should be required to have a licence to breed.

Indeed. I always feel sad for Staffs, the types they often attract. Despite their rep I've never met one which is anything other than lovely.

Agreed - some lovely ones out there but plenty horrors too unfortunately. Definitely a reflection on their council owners.

Worst one I saw was an old neighbors, thing used to run riot and bark at absolutely everyone for no reason, even attacked one of the other residents for getting too close. Completely feral. They were proper council - wish I'd taken pictures of summer last year during the heatwave when they would drag their couch outside and sit there drinking Carling and blaring st music from 11 in the morning.

1. Dogs should never be disposable.
2. You let your child dictate the welfare of an animal?

Nasty council bh.

You said 'BBC' and 'real news'

I had a chuckle at that one as well . I wouldn't be surprised to find that the "news" in The Sun is actually the more accurate.

Ok, I’ll rise to it. Evidence?

I am bit perplexed by this as well, I don't recall seeing any fictional BBC stories?

If you only want selective biased leftie "news" then tune in to the Beeb where you will find an endless stream of "news" articles that align with your blinkered leftie view of the world. If you want real news on topics that actually matter then there are a myriad of other news outlets that will do the job. Even The Sun could be considered one of them, perhaps even The Daily Star/Sport as well . I guess neither of you have seen the lengthy "BBC: Something must be done!" thread.

Sorry for late reply. Yes, I am ‘left leaning’ and read the guardian, watch the bbc etc. But I also read the telegraph and daily fail websites, plus economist/spectator etc. I can make my own mind up. Interestingly, the daily fail seems to be moving a bit left recently, albeit from a right hand position. Sometimes I agree with the guardian on a specific point, sometimes I agree with the telegraph on a (different) specific point.

But as for the BBC, I don’t think they are biased, but they get constantly accused of being biased both to left and right, all down to the audiences perception. They don’t promote false stories or make them up though, I’d be interested if you could point to an example.

Thanks for calling me ‘blinkered’ though!

Anyway, sorry other readers, this is the wrong thread, and I’ve never strayed into the NP&E forums, there be dragons there...

Agree completely. IME you have to approach any media with slight cynicism.

On the assumption that Derek told some interesting life stories, I can only hope that mine are almost as interesting.

There's still time..................

. You should "do a Derek" Frank,and write a book or two.

'Confessions of a Black Cab Driver'. In all good bookshops soon.

Yes, in the Medical Remedies section, filed under 'I' for Insomnia.

While I possibly, only possibly, have the intelligence to do that, there are too many hedonistic pursuits in my life that distract me, so I doubt I'd have the time, nor the patience to concentrate on trying to write a book, but thanks for the suggestion ski.

I broadly agree with you and think the attitude to news outlets you have is the only adult way to view them but I do think you are slightly naive when it comes to absolute honesty and the BBC.

Lord McAlpine was labeled a pedophile on Newsnight using the flimsiest of evidence (quickly retracted), I think he sued them and either won or the BBC settled and the collusion between the Police and BBC in the Cliff Richard raid was verging on criminal. I think he sued them and won too.

I agree that they get constantly accused of being biased both to left and right but that is in a party political sense, I do think that the BBC is massively biased in an urban liberal sense and have had that confirmed by three good friends who have worked for them and are self-declared urban liberals.

Dog Star said:

Yes. Utter trash. Awful.





Almost as perfectly formed as Nicki
Minaj.

One man’s meat and all that, (pardon the unintended pun), but
you’re eternally welcome to my share Dog Star, of N. Minaj too.

Agreed. A vile human being. And this is what kids have to 'look up to' these days. God help them.

This...it’s my biggest worry about her

She is a proper munter too imho

Hardly a good role model. Famous for being behind P0rnhubs most watched video ever.

Same with politics as a whole too.

Chris Rock said it best - "I got some st I'm liberal about, and some st I'm conservative about."

Don’t lose any sleep over it Flibble, I’m just a veracious sybarite, with a heightened sense of humour, and a vocabulary that sometimes exceeds my station in life.

If that's the case, do you use the Frank persona as an escape from all that?

That’s pretty damn good Flibble, you are obviously no mug,
I’m going to have to keep a close eye on you

I would feel as if I was cheating my adoring public.
