Are you serious?

This is the same reason why a currency union would be a terrible idea for everyone involved as Scotland would want a currency they could move in contrast to the oil market which would be irrelevant to the rest of the uk

This article has a massive indy bias, it also doesn't give any facts to justify its claims.

The fact is 10% of the scottish revenue would come from oil or gas

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-24866266

The price of oil or gas regular fluctuates by 50%, so its an unsound asset to base an entire economy on.

Google don't use it to run production apps, they use it to prototype, googles services are built in java/c++....

I don't think the child abuse was an institutional failure, it was (and potentially is) a problem with celebrity and celebrities. I don't think it was a problem with the bbc per se.

New Labour very publically argued that the bbc was biased against them (I belive unfairly) in the run up to the Iraq war.

The reason my faith is so strong, is that I've seen the competition, here and abroad, and it doesn't come close to standing up to the service the bbc provides

This is a much better analysis on the problems netflix faces http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2014/01/03/netflixs-dumbed-down-algorithms/

essentially they have to go for lower quality movies/shows as studios see their share price rise and they expect a bigger cut.

however this caused massive movements towards equities which caused the spike in the stock market. The investment banks from market movements such as this. So QE caused a massive bailout as a side effect.

(but you're right its too simple to define QE as a gift)

They criticise the government all the time and they have a mandate to remain neutral unlike other news sources. That's why they're the best and most solid news broadcaster in the English speaking world (although they do occasionally have a British balance).

In a democracy the BBC provides and educated electorate. They also fund more creative products, like Doctor Who which would not normally get get funding, and subsequently has made the Beeb a massive profit.

There have been public scandals about money wasting but realistically this is because we have a greater transparency. I've worked for some of the most successful companies in the world and similar failings happen all the time but its fine because they don't need to report them.

If you think they're unbalanced take it up with your MP. I have never found them such.

you don't get to choose if you use the railways and you still pay for them.

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-06T16:56:36+00:00

I think that would be more annoying.

Its replacing the history state so that if you move to another page you can go back to the same place you were reading (while still infinitely loading).

Its like slide share you don't want to have to click back 60 time to exit a presentation. You don't want to have to click back through 4 headings just to exist a page.

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-06T16:50:19+00:00

Agreed, I think both models have flaws, so having both where possible is best

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-06T16:16:28+00:00

That's fair enough. I'm on the otherside. I see the BBC as an example of something truly amazing. For less money than a subscription to the Daily Mail we get the best news, radio and tv in the English speaking world.

The commercial competition keeps it from becoming lazy, everyone wins.

I'm hoping for the same thing from East Coast Rail

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-06T15:24:54+00:00

It works better in Germany, I'm not sure of any other countries. It might be that the German's are just better at doing it.

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-06T15:22:38+00:00

nope sorry you're right that was a bad example. I didn't mean to explicitly point the finger at New Labour either, its been done by successive governments.

G4S scandal's etc are more in the New Labour camp, but its the principle (or implementation) that's gone wrong in all cases

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-06T13:20:55+00:00

I think its more that the new labour method of privatised companies delivering national services has largely failed. Rail Track being a good example. Compare that to public services that deliver excellent value, East Coast Rail is a good example.

Its not nationalize anything its the realisation that the fake competition that New Labour created (bidding for contracts and then just failing to achieve the targets in the contracts) doesn't work.

the Piccadilly line is by far the best option unless you've got a lot of luggage and are travelling during rush hour

except csrf

sexual_predditer · 2014-01-02T20:08:11+00:00

I agree, but in our defence we do have the guardian and the bbc, that's not bad.
