Richard Padro on Britishness, something the British government hopes to teach to schoolchildren.
Simply put, Britishness is an attitude. We like to believe that being born of the genetic structure of 1000 years ago gives those with white skin the banner to claim for themselves the title "British" but those that came to England later, who were born within the borders of the country, who speak with the British stoicism so long famous, who love to follow British football, who sing Rule Britannia with passion, and overall, are simply British by attitude. That is Britishness.
From Bob Hall in New York, on 1) Kofi Annan going home to Ghana and 2) on George Bush amongst the Congressional Lilliputians (Bob's views, not ours of course)
You think there's cheering in Ghana ? Roll down your window and you'll hear the happy hollering from here. 2.) Down and out Flat on his back and tied down, Bush is still GULLIVER, here and out there. God knows (sorry) he's not so big; the others are just a lot smaller.
From Aftab Khan in Singapore:
Everyday while going back to home after finishing my office (at 6PM our time) I listen to your show on my handphone radio. I like your voice and way of presentation of news. I have been listening to Â鶹Éç world service for many years and can safely say that out of three channels i.e web, TV and radio, by far the coverage of Â鶹Éç world service is more objective than the other two. The analysis on TV and web site has the typical streaks of western media bias; where as in radio it is very subtle and discreet, rather more objective. Just a bit curious: why does your organization has a different editorial and coverage standards for three media??
Thank you all, here's the address for more
