   To me it reads a bit like Brian Lenihan’s ‘We all partied’ which was an attempt to imply that absolutely everyone is responsible rather than specific people who did specific things.

   ‘A front-page report about “punishment” attacks by Republican vigilantes in Derry said at least 85 men had been shot over the past year, according to police figures. That was the total for shootings over three years, not one, and the figures were provided by community groups researching the vigilante violence rather than the police’

   Jokeing – joking

   Corperation – corporation

   Propoganda – propaganda

   Also the BBC is on the internet.

   Other than those quibbles I felt you offered a rational and cogent critique.

   Hi Framer I see the beeb had reporters out on jobs again this weekend. I thought you said they didn’t do that at the weekend or perhaps you were mistaken?

8. Comment on 2012 Irish Open: Executive swingers
   on 13 May 2012 at 9:03 pm

   Sponors aren’t stupid. Outside of the biggest tournaments the most attractive events are the Middle Eastern/ Asian bits of the European tour. Where all the growth potential and money is. The Irish Open is not of much interest beyond these shores.

   Would he (Nolan) really be able to command the same kind of money from a private media concern ?

   I doubt it very much. What do the BBC give him? Regular network radio, daily radio in which he wields considerable power and local TV.

   Possibly UTV could offer him a similar gig but they would never give him the same money or the same production. If he did a TV show for them the production standard would be of the ‘Late & Live’ falling-down-set variety. Also I’m sceptical talkSPORT would want him – as the name suggests its presenters tend to be former sportsmen or have a background in sports journalism. Nolan knows the square root of fuck all about sport.

   No broadcaster in the Republic would want him and his morbid obesity disqualifies him from UK network TV.

    It could but the imperative for it and the local biz mags is not to upset advertisers or potential advertisers
