Well, here's what we did yesterday, but feel free to add your own ideas.


We spent the afternoon walking through central London to include Museum of London, a walk through the above-ground walkways through the Barbican, then up the Champagne Bar at Tower 42 (which we had to book in advance and spend ?10 at the bar, so naturally we drank champagne). Here's a view!

It truly is amazing. The bar is on 42nd floor and you have to book in advance and each of you to spend ?10 at the bar. However, that floor only has about 150 degrees of view. The restaurant a floor below has 180 degrees of view, but I am not that rich! MrPR took the above photo - my camera is full of that film stuff so they won't be ready for a while! On a clear day we could have made out our flat and also in the north the Alexandra Palace. But hell, this ain't bad.

    • Counterpoint: there was zero misrepresentation of truth 
    • Point is.. top two have quit.. BBC is now what? From being well respected world wide.. not only for news, programs, no idea about pod casts.. Only thing we as a country do well currently is broadcast remembrance service…. Lets face it.. only country that I know of who can release wrong people from jail.. one gave himself up if news is to believed and the other is where? Only country I know of who actually pay people to leave, flights etc and they are back in country .. all heard via Radio 4…  
    • It doesn't matter what channel it was on, how pernicious the subject is and when it happened. Mis-representing the truth in broadcast is not only morally wrong, it's against the OFCOM code of ethics.  Everyone in the industry is trained in how not to do it, most are made to take the BBC's own 'Safeguarding the Trust' course, even if they aren't making BBC programmes.  There wasn't much fuss at the time, because no one knew about it.  "Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings". What the programme makers personally think or feel should never affect how they tell a story; to do so is deeply unprofessional and a sackable offence.  It's the job of the BBC and of all programming to inform viewers of the facts and let them make up their own minds. Even in campaigning documentaries.
