Don't Touch That Light Switch.


Anyone who thinks it's easy sitting in judgement on The BBC and its terrifying power need only consider the case of inveterate bias-spotter Roland Deschain. Roland's net-name is a homage to a fictional gunslinger. Seems like he's fixing to sort out a messa trouble down the schoolhouse. Sheee-it.


It's depressing.


That's what Biased BBC is here for. To depress us all.


Only today I find that my daughter is expected to learn a passage for her school assembly urging us to turn our lights out for an hour...


Slippery slope. She'll be asking you to turn the heating down a gnat's, next.


to support the WWF…


Hideous. Who's its shit-stirring president again? Billy Bragg? Or Polly Toynbee? Oh… it's HRH Princess Alexandra.


and show we "care about climate change".


Cos we don't. End of.


And when I point out to her that it may be a load of claptrap, she stomps off in the huff.


It's not too late to disinherit her. She doesn't deserve you.


I wonder how much indoctrination has gone on before I've found out about it.


Simple test: Does she offer to walk to the shops rather than demand a lift? If yes, you've lost her. For good.


I will of course take it up with the school,


Perhaps you could suggest they leave their lights on for an hour longer than usual. Take a stand for common sense.


but sometimes you feel you're just pissing in the wind.


You could leave your lights on all the time. That would teach them.
