In reply to: Roberdin 's message, "That is dispicable. The BBC should have a You and Your Country hour aimed at youngsters." on 22:56:57 12/01/04 Wed

Admirable as such a thing might be, it would be considered as absurd in this country as an oath of allegiance to the flag in schools. I think it more likely that Tony Blair were suddenly to reveal in parliament that he is actually a woman called Cissy Fairfax than that the BBC will ever embrace a policy which might be accused of patriotism! In the opinion of the left-leading media, patriotism is for new countries, propaganda-based despotisms and the USA - hardly places which exhibit much pukkah anti-narrow-nationalism.
