When I was in hospital for 4 months, the poxy TV gantry was £50pm, plus I was paying £60pm to Sky at home and yet the BBC was only £10pm.

THE HOSPITAL ONE WAS PAID OUT OF THE £350pm NI I WAS STILL PAYING VIA BP's SICK PAY.

watch them live on one of the operations that has

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

You could just as easily say that the coal fields of today are the
result of giant plants destroying the plant and taking all the good CO2
out of the air and turning it into the toxic waste of coal and oxygen.

Man is just another species, and it is in the nature of species to
expand in the niche environment for which they are suited, and then die
when they have exhausted it. Species all compete: for one to be
successful, others must die.

When was the last time you saw an advert for Wellington boots?

Yet Wellington boots are still for sale, and Wellington boot makers are
still in business.

Your view poiint is extraordinary. Almost as extraordinary as the two

The problem is not the manufacturers or the customers, the problem is
that you might have to pay to watch TV. And polit9icvains and the news
media (so called) might actually have to deliver more than carefully
crafted propaganda.
