Default Labour's official view on Big Brother

On Friday, Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell said shows such as Big Brother did fit within public service broadcasting remits because of their popularity.
Ah, so that's ok then. So long as it's popular, it'll be on tv. Doesn't matter how $hit it is, so long as it's popular. I sincerely hope she has been misquoted......

...and did I or did I not see one of the 'zoo inhabitants' who claims to be an activist of some kind giving the press a set of V's.....oooh, how very cool. What a rebel.

The trouble is, there's European elections in a couple of weeks. I don't think we'll read much about them in the popular media (aka tabloid trash) for the next wee while.

Can Channel4 be held responsible for the decimated turnout in these forthcoming elections

A televised public flogging of leading labour politicians would be popular. I wonder if Tessa Jowell would say this is OK too?

Why cant we flog all the politicians? It would make me buy a new TV.

The old one died when I kicked off its stand during newsnight a few years ago. With shows like big brother, changing rooms (I could go on) it doesnt really make me want to buy a new one.

Not having a telly makes you realise how many conversations at work each day are 'did you see...........last night?'
