You would have thought that someone might have considered that the publication of the Hutton Report might warrant a little more attention than a walkout by a bunch of 'penpushers'. But they're so busy pursuing their own agenda they're incapable of seeing the world around them.
Cunts.
I now put out a call-to-arms to my fellow country people. The BBC is your birthright. Defend it. After the NHS and the scenery it is the singlemost important reason to be proud to be British.
