And now the Danes have stopped the trains and closed a motorway with Germany.

The BBC tonight interviewed a 16 yo boy from Aleppo now on the Serbian border who expressed a wish to go to England. They reporter explained to him that was not possible and after a heart-felt plea on camera, the boy broke down. That, of course, was not only cruel, it was broadcast in order to shame Cameron and make the rest of us feel like heels - all part of the BBC's current agenda.

You can see it here at the 17:00 mark.

I sincerely hope Cameron beats the BBC into a pulp - it is now way, way beyond its remit as a news service. It is a blatant political lobby tool, and it needs to be called out as such.

Good for them. Merkel makes me laugh; one minute she's saying that EU treaty change will take years, the next she's changing immigration and asylum laws as she goes along, not only for Germany but for everyone else in the EU!

Yes. How it can claim to be unbiased - it is just beyond ridiculous.

The BBC Trust, in its wisdom, has asked its employers, the licence tax payers, for their views. Do have your say...

Thanks for those links, WM. I've had a quick flick through, and I shall go away and think about responding to the questions in more detail, but in the meantime, I see there's a whole page to answer regarding your ethnicity, cultural background and sexual orientation etc. ......

Everyone needs to do what I did.

Prefer not to say.

They can know where I hail from, how old I am and that I'm a GOM... That's all. Nothing else. The best thing for the BBC would be if every single person who fills out that page puts in "Prefer not to say". That might actually sort them out.

They sent me the download links so I downloaded my answers, opened the pdf files in word, removed my email address, saved them again as pdf and have placed them where you can see them if you are interested....

I'm sure they will ignore me. I'm not exactly their poster boy for Politically Correct Programming......
