    I'd say they picked the day very carefully. Maximum publicity. Could have done it on Wed ... or today. It's not like it's a recent crime or a scene needed to be preserved.

        BBC never could help themselves - all they've done now is headed further toward the gutter by adding sensationalist journalism to their own bias.

          Maybe - or it could have been because they were in possession of evidence or fresh information (not least that Gordon Brown had been ferreting around in the day or so beforehand)

            it is the reason why Sultans have a haram, they know the value of the female commodity .
            It is a shame that women in general do not appreciate their rare commodity and are more selective with donations to make it grow. But I think the tide is changing, as more women are choosing to remain single, perhaps because they view donation material as inadequate. Let us hope women will elevate themselves .

            and I looked up the figures, knew it was high, the women's commodity is one every month, where as the donation figure from one supplier starts at 39million to 500 million. So that sweet number of ONE is so rare.

            I dont get that, it depends where you look and at what, social media is one thing, real life is another, most people know social media is not real.

            I've noticed how much influence women have on normal TV these days, possibly my fault but due to the bad weather I've ended up watching morning TV, even the BBC politics programme at midday is almost the same a loose Women on the ITV, I sometimes wonder what I'm watching.:biggrin:

            Social media is very influential in the lives of many young people though. And because there is no way to challenge the bizarre ideas in a way that reaches the influenced, it becomes an echo chamber. The labelling of any view that disagrees as "hate speech" has meant a closing down of rational discourse in places where the young gather, either virtually or in the real world. A recent survey found over 60% of university students thought physical violence against someone who disagreed with you was justified.

              He was taken to Aylsham in Norfolk, not Surrey or Buckinghamshire but I don’t think it would have made any difference to the responses :biggrin:.
