Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Read more? Really? Appears like Parkinson was more of a sleaze ball than a lord of the realm but I for one don't want to read more. I find it hard to understand why a mother would want to give this type of interview.

i think this will happen, but then of course it will be latched on and milked by DC on how uk can justify closing its own borders

The over 75's have been asked to give up their free licence.......It's unbelievable ???....I can't put in writing here the foul language I feel like using to describe the cheek...is it April 1st or what ?...the quicker they sell the BBC the better...need some new channels with real news and programs and not the nonsense news propaganda bollocks that the nation endures...

Moving children out of care in Kent to make way for potentially 3000 immigrant children.
Maybe the British kids could run away to London and find a Fagin .

I don't agree in the tax payers having to pay for overpaid tv muppets....let advertising pay for the channels and if at all possible a non political news coverage not being manipulated and suppressed...(perhaps the latter too much to ask for)...

Parkinson sleazy? that just about sums up most of the "Con" artist executives over the years.. except that he messed up and was found out.

iturama, I suspect it had something to do with this.
"A year after he was elevated to the Lords in 1992, Parkinson secured a Draconian injunction that meant no one could discuss Flora's life in public."
How does someone manage to get a blanket ban like this?

It's funny how the people who govern us don't set good examples....it will never change... will it....though people should respect ones privacy....the trouble is if you are a major politician : you are in the limelight...measuring a good balance between privacy and what the general public are entitled to know is difficult...

"I don't agree in the tax payers having to pay for over payed tv muppets" not in disagreement with that RF but the answer is certainly not to privatise it but just tackle the problem which Tory Blair and this rabble have failed to do.

I can think of a labour lord that was even more disgusting but was protected for many years. Never outed until he could no longer be prosecuted. Parkinson did nothing criminal that we know of. So it cuts both ways.
I believe the Lords shoud be totally overhauled. It is no more than an retirement home for redundant politicians. We dont need another 820 pensioners and bishops living off the fat of the land. 100 unelected wigs is more than enough. But how do you get the fat cats to legislate to reduce their numbers?That goes for the EU also where certain failed labour leaders in particular have done very well indeed. Better than working for a living.

Nonsense we live in a democracy and if people like you and some others on here (+ others country wide of course) stop voting for the crooks then it will change, afraid you only have yourselves to blame.. glad I'm cheering you up RF -):
