BNP on Question Time. Right or Wrong.


As I right this blog large scale protest are happening outside BBC TVC on Wood Lane in London. This is due to the BBC showing the BNP leader, Nick Griffin, on question time.

The prostesters say they want the BBC not to air the program however ate they right.

Yes the BNP are rasist and stupid however they are a freely elected party and, like anyone in the uk, has freedom of speech.

Let's not take anyones human rights away. Not the blacks or the BNP.

David Bellamy was on hand at the southport flower show 2009 as the BBC Bus was used by BBC Radio Merseyside and BBC Radio Lancashire.

Four days of hard work and fun as the bus became a focal point of the show to find out what the final ashes test score was.

With sun cap and fully creamed up, Jessica enjoyed playing in the garden with her new sand pit from ELC.

Happy New Year


Jessica really enjoyed herself yesterday by rounding off 2008 with a Darwen. There she meet up with Jessica and Olly.
Daddy and Mummy also meet with Danneil and Stu and it was really great to see them too.
Jessica played really hard and then went to Graandma's and Grandad's for more play. On the way we bumped into Unc Andy out shoping.
Anyway it was a great way to end 2008 and here's to a great 2009. Strange isn't it, this time last year I had no idea what job I was going to be doing at the end of the year. Now Im in a great job and Jessica is coming on really well.
