The asked for aopinions a while back if non believers should be allowed on their daily religious programme Thought for the Day.  They didn’t say non believers in what – fairies, Odin, Santa Clause.  They meant of course God – unspecified which, of course.  Sceptics are still banned although any religious bigot seems welcome including a drunken, freeloading bishop. 

We are, of course, forced to pay for the BBC regardless of our views and there still remains a core, very tiny now, that is excellent.  However, their hours and hours of tedious religious nonsense continues, the Queen spouts drivel in her broadcast every year and says that the hope of the world lies in religion, and so it goes on.

Whatever the BBC was, or is, it is definitely not a bastion of Free Speech – it stains its reputation every day with its obseesive protection of religious, its obsequious kow towing to a dysfunctional Royal Family which is the antithesis of democracy and its readiness to bend to the will of the government in power.

They banned me from their chat line for “using more than one address” – a lie.  I have never done that either in an email or my home address.  When I complained by phone they said someone would phone me but it might not be for ten days or longer.
