The sad truth is that this anchor might be better suited to go work for FOX News instead of the BBC.

It was a very ill judged interview. The BBC retaliated to criticism by saying that it was even handed in its treatment of the wheelchair bound man. This was stated on a BBC blog that is used to respond to criticism.

As someone pointed out on 'Have I Got News for You', with a demonstrator in a wheelchair it is easier, more sensible and more practical simply to push the wheelchair out of the way rather than drag the occupant from it.

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Ah, Nigel, it is far less fun to do that.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
