Clearly, the Trust must be replaced – though not, God forbid, by that nest of politically correct Blairites, Ofcom

I love the BBC. I'm supposed to be ashamed of this I know, but I can't help it. Recent amazingly good US drama may have made me much more relaxed about the future of quality programming, but websites like http://www.the-specials.com/ remind you that not every group of people is represented fairly in the British media and I like the idea that there exists a trust with a commitment to "embrace diversity" http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/tv/pitching-ideas/how-it-works.shtml that we all contribute towards. And I believe it's good value for money. Channel 4 is great too and I wonder how many of us would actively seek out some of their more unusual offerings if they were on some obscure specialist channel rather than a general, all-purpose broadcaster.
I also know I am supposed to hate Tony Blair, but I still cannot forget that weird excitement in the air the morning after Labour deposed the Conservative government and the sinking feeling I felt after the last election. I suppose we should be grateful that the Daily Mail website has a "Femail" section especially for us women. Today it's telling me about Miranda Kerr(who?) covering up after her last fashion faux pas and Natalie Portman drawing attention away from her husband who was supposed to be getting attention. In its defence it is also equally critical of Jude Law for going bald. (How dare he?)
At the moment then I'll stick with Ofcom and even the BBC.
