      Well are you saying the TV companies should suggest who we vote for just because there is not enough time to fit everyone in.
      On the BBC I'm seeing the snp why?
      I can't vote for them, likewise the Welsh party, isn't that what regional TV is for.

      But that is a separate issue, we just want facts with no bias from the TV.

          No. I didn't say that at all. My point was about how it is practically impossible to avoid bias. It was a general point rather than a specific.

            Hard to avoid completely, maybe, but easy to build in deliberately. ;)

              A bit of a job to introduce positivity with regard to the current government, while sticking to the facts, though.

                But we are able to make up our own minds … we just have to think critically and analytically about the information we’re given, rather than swallow it whole. T’was ever thus.

                      Jesus himself couldn't resurrect the Tories in all honesty. Their waste on things like PPE and Test & Trace alone sink any hope of that.

                        And if they had there would be lots of moaning going on about lowering standards etc.
                        from the very high standards of the EU.;)

                            There is an element on the far left that believes it knows best on a range of topics and anyone that disagrees must be silenced. It is a form of authoritarianism and just as dangerous as far right mantras. It is prevalent within some universities where students are required to do courses to correct their thinking if they dare to disagree. That's not education. It's brainwashing.
