Ela James Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Listening to the news, or watching Newsnight .. or checking the BBC website for any news … I often end up with this impression: sometimes I feel the UK media pays more attention to news related to far away places ( an example would be the Middle East ) than what is happening here correct me if you feel I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 i should think theres far more news happens in "the rest of the world" than what happens here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerrific Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm disgusted that there are no more Political scandals involving eroticism, oranges and rope (90's Tories?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm disgusted that there are no more Political scandals involving eroticism, oranges and rope (90's Tories?). A New York mayoral candidate Mr Weiner apparently keeps sending photos of his "weiner" to strangers at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SqueakyPete Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I am purposely avoiding the news at the moment,as my gag reflexes can't take no more! It does make you wonder though,what stories would have made the news this week,if the royal baby wasn't due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic, but not new sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chumley Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 2000 Syrians have died since I typed this True. And I was sat on a beach in Rhodes last week reflecting that it was happening only 500 miles away. That's like sitting on a beach in Devon while genocide takes place in Scotland. If nothing else, the news reminds us how lucky we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien52 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Such as death, misery and disaster, yes its always more pleasant to hear about those things. If only the Windsors could produce a baby everyday,we would all be so much happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
