Big brother……….

18-07-10

Now Wilt (nor thank Gawd anyone else in his household) is a fan of Big Brother – that awful TV programme that exploits the worst characteristics of human personality.

Therefore, do we care that a certain “contestant” is the latest to be evicted? In short answer no; in full answer Wilt does not give who remains in or out of the “house.” It seems however the latest victim is some unknown called Ife – we do not give diddly shit, and more, who in their right mind cares a fuck.

See the BBC article here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-10666805

However, Wilt has been wondering – what if certain parties (Tony, Tony, Xxxxx, Xxxxx, James Plaskit (Ex-MP), Mrs C and Wilt were to join a version of Big Brother?

Now that would be interesting, we think.

Who then might be exposed as utter twats and excluded from the house first?

Mmmmmmmm now let me hazard a guess……..

Good news……..

Next on the hit list is the BBC – they are about to get a reality check on the meaning of austerity and big budget cuts. And you know what? Jo public will probably find their licence fee reduced – excellent.

In fact bloody brilliant – the emphasis being on bloody! Wilt enjoys those blood and guts kind of programmes

See the Telegraph article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/7895750/Licence-fee-for-wasteful-BBC-will-be-cut.html

And the BBC article here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10670182

Don’t get Wilt wrong, the BBC (and the UK broadcasters in general) is still probably the best TV/Radio media in the world – compare it to US media, for example, and you would think the US are the centre of the universe – they are so parochial to the extent that the term must have been originally coined to describe US media.

Unlike of course Hollywood, these days, who make very reasonable efforts to portray concerns much wider afield – albeit there is a lot of dross too.

Mind you, compared to North Korea, the US media is a pinnacle of fully encompassing media journalism.

Hand in the till…………..

Oh what a silly boy – I recall him as that prospective candidate MP in Cheltenham and had hoped he succeeded. Of all places he should have done. Not that he is black has anything to do with it – no, Gawd forbid!

Well the good Lord Taylor of (all places) Warwick is facing prosecution for fraud – but then Warwick (and Leamington Spa) has some other frauds too.

See the BBC report here on Taylor: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10662479

Of course, the man remains innocent until proven guilty.
