Good morning everyone,

There are some good options on stories today. We have a strong potential story from Jersey. I'll tell you more in the meeting.

Other stories include BAE, Zimbabwe, the school spying row and the DNA report - You can watch Susan Watts' report into low copy number DNA here.

Do come to the meeting with ideas on how to do these and other stories.

See you in a minute,

Robert

TESTING TESTING

Oy! Is this blog mended? Drop the other shoe! Or did the other shoe go the way of the dead donkey?

Could Susan Watts do a piece on blogs that don't work - and why? Why some do and soma don't?

Testing testi ng . . .

As the last bastion of intelligence and integrity on the 大象传媒, you should focus on how the god-botherer and general loon-bucket Jo Abbess (Google her) managed to intimidate Roger Harrabin into changing a 大象传媒 web page on global warming (or lack of it) so that the "emerging truth" would not be obscured. If it weren't so tragic I'd be laughing my t***s off. Please tell me it's all an elaborate hoax. I'll send 20GBP to a charity of your choice if you post this.

COMPETITION TIME?
wAS THAT a challenge Paxman threw down on Wednesday with the inference that Gavin has difficulty attracting an audience, without one being whipped up?

I think there should be a vote for most popular presenter.

Peter Barron can be as wise as Solomon?

I've got an ASBO - Hopefully this will be covered by Newsnight, as I've just been listening to an asinine imbecile called Edward Welsh on PM with Eddie Mair defending the use of the 'Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act' for SPYING on a couple suspected, but completely innocent of, telling fibs to get their child into a school in a particular catchment area.

This legislation was passed by the Govt. with the usual banal nonsense about how it was to 'stop terrorists' [although it also re-defined that 'T-Word' to cover almost any form of robust political protest], and now, surprise surprise - the worst fears of Shami Chakrabarti at Liberty have come to pass !!

Yes, those imbeciles at the Local Government Association, who have clearly been watching 'The Lives of Others' and have gotten in a lather of 'ostalgie' about the new powers that they have been given to act as Stasi-lite officers going around the country snooping on 'dangerous crims' i.e. Flytippers, School queue jumpers and, er, people double parking if one isn't careful.

Please please please get that Welsh on this night's show, so his feeble, facile, ridiculous apologism for the use of this legislation and the total abandonment of civil liberties in this 'surveillance state' is in any way justified to snoop on someone who is totally innocent from being spied on in their own home.

Perhaps he may even be tempted to offer up that usual homily of the Stasi-supporting bureaucrats who want us all to have ID cards, and not even heckle at a Labour Party conference - 'If you do nothing wrong, you will have nothing to fear..'. Yeah, right.

Jo Abbess vs. Roger Harrabin of 大象传媒
... I cannot believe that 大象传媒 does not have a "code of conduct" that would outright forbid "tampering" with a story as happened here. Not that I believe everything 大象传媒 spits out, or other media outlets for that matter, but what it is most disturbing is the absence of a 大象传媒 apology and explanation that this was a mistake.
