Fifty quid is less than a week of JSA. It is not a lot of money.

Mega Comrade posted:Lots of people drop out of university for reasons other than lack of drive or ambition. They do for sure. But to be fair I was a massive stoner who would much rather get high and play Pro Evo than do his coursework. Idiotic, but part of the reason I dropped out was that I figured if I repeated that without addressing my habits I'd probably do the same thing. I can't complain with my lot now. I quit my job in January 2014 to start a business with a colleague and now I am living in Chicago building a company from the ground up, turning this from a 'best case, wildest dreams' kind of idea into something that is hitting our year one projections and that ultimately we want to be a multi-million dollar operation. But yeah. I lack drive and ambition.

That's fair enough but you should have done sports then you could have played Pro Evo and still graduated. I did politics and then strategic studies and dossed around playing Civ IV and Hearts of Iron all the time and called it studying.

Technology is relatively cheap but the increasing number of people trapped in poverty may well still not be able to afford those relatively low prices. Given the popularity of the [url= http://www.obamaphone.com/]Obama Phone[/url] program in the US it is not hard to imagine mobiles being unaffordable for a few percent of the UK population given how rapidly out safety net is eroding to match America's.

Unaffordable doesn't mean people still don't have them though, what with credit and the necessity of having a phone. Plus the fact that parents with less money tend to sacrifice more so their kids can have things, especially things that will help them fit in socially

And of course the BBC doesn't report that it happened, they report that the claimant is lying. For want of impartiality, they are victim blaming.

They dont make a comment on anything and use direct quotes from the us lawyer. They're reporting on his statement in your link. And wheres the victim blaming? Do you even know what that phrase means? You're trying to make out that their headline is 'Women makes false allegations' when its patently not. Theres enough lovely journalism in the world that you dont have to go manufacturing outrage.

"Defendant denies charge" is not often made into a headline, it seems to me. Bias is shown through the selection of stories as well as the actual writing.(Your use of 'outrage' would be an example of the latter.)

Oh dear me posted:"Defendant denies charge" is not often made into a headline, it seems to me. I think the first mistake you're making there is that there isn't a charge. This is not a criminal proceeding so there are no charges to deny. But more importantly, every case involving a 'famous' person has had a headline where they've 'strongly denied' charges. They've literally reported on what a statement someone has released. They've even included the womans response. At no point have they 'victim blamed' and at no point have they reported that 'it didn't happen.'

The BBC is a victim-blaming left wing apologist that epitomises the current trend towards reporting opinions instead of facts, and it's all paid for by ARE LICENCE FEES
