I have red BBC world for years, as well as following their Tv programs until they had been kicked out of local cable network last year. Even me feels like one year or longer that there is a very bad political shifting taking plac einside the BBC. They have lost a lot of my former respect.

I also do not like their new way of doing nature docus, wether it be about the universe, or wild animals, aor whatever. In past decades, BBC docus were very competently done, sometimes spectucular. but nowadays music and narration are doing a message drill towards a directions of sensationalism and human thoughts of competion, war and fighting that has nothing to do anymore with objective description. In earlier years/deacdes their docus described and left it to the viewer to think about what he has seen. today the thinking is pushed and manipulated into a certain directon I find hard to catch in words. The audience is no longer expected to think itself. It is given a (wanted) explaantion, and should believe in that, and feel convinced, and remain shut up - alternative thinking not welcomed.

I wonder why Britain is fighting so bitterly against the EU - if in many details it already is overtaking the folly of Brussel'S pc ambitions and programs. The story Steed is quoting is simply this: totally unacceptable.

Yesterday I saw Geroge Lucas' "THX 1138" on TV, for the second time. The parallels to the present escaped my awareness when I have seen it first time, ten or twelve years bago. Yesterday they left me speechless. Very good movie. It was depressing.
