Such debates on television only serve to show how gullible we are to believe, that any carrot dangled before us, is any more tempting than an interview through any other medium.<br />When my children were younger, they would stare at a blank television in the hope that we would put on some entertainment. So one day when we were waiting in a car showroom, I said that I would allow them a film as a treat if they stayed quiet and watched the live television feed of Goverment proceedings.(more of a bet than an agreement) Not only did they fail to get their treat, but they also stated that the politician behaviour worse than theirs and of course it was so boring. I have to say that I agree with them. The politicians appear to have a tentative grip on reality and totally out of touch with the wishes of their electorate. They have shown that they are not to be trusted after their debacle over expenses claims, for which many a normal members of public would be prosecuted to the letter of the law for theft and fraud. They somehow evade the law by resigning their seat in Parliament and paying back their claim. Hey , why don´t the criminals get in on the act and evade prosecution by stating a wish to pay back their ill gotten claims to someone elses cash or property? Their behaviour in Parliament is tantamount to badly behaved juvenile delinquents, who we would punish for such behaviour. They are, quite frankly, are an embarrassment to Britain. I believe that televising politics is a good thing but, has not done Britain any favours at all. It will however, show us the who can best evade the questions, who can contradict the most and who can blame each other more for their own mistakes. So if someone wants to pay for any of the above reasons, then let them pay their subcription. I can find other more entertaing ways to utilise my money, which do not include politics or even television.Pipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225056078657116818.post-37110409773554029752009-09-17T12:19:53.425+02:002009-09-17T12:19:53.425+02:00Certainly Murdoch's effort in America - Fox Ne...Certainly Murdoch's effort in America - Fox News - is so biased and, well, waaaay beyond what we understand by 'right-wing' that he shouldn't have any more hooks on how to manipulate democracy in the US or the UK.Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933569673776013122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225056078657116818.post-9676221397614888962009-09-17T11:12:40.615+02:002009-09-17T11:12:40.615+02:00"Now look 'ere jimme...
