@JohnCleese So what's the solution? A BBC that's not funded by the licence fee so ministers can't terrorise BBC News every 10 years by threatening to abolish their whole organisation?
@LucyMazuma@marksandspencer Agreed. Or: imagine an advert where mum was failing to fix the car while dad poured a jar of sauce over some meat and claimed he was cooking.
Humanist mini-sermon: There's no reason to suppose that anything of your personality or mind survives beyond death: this is the one life you have. Grasp it - live it as well as you can. As Matthew Arnold wrote, "Because thou must not dream, thou need'st not despair."
