The BBC always ignore me BUT we can all be heard here.
BBC1 now, current question - Is Alan Milburn's apology for the death of a policeman by a failed asylum seeker too little, too late?
Thoughts on what the panel are saying and your own perspectives?

Has any UK Govt politician apologised for the hundreds killed by the IRA...?
All I gleamed from this one was a stronger sense of dislike for Ruth Kelly.
But given Blair's propensity for apologising it can't be long before he apologises to the IRA.
This case can't see why it needs a Minister to apologise. It seems the police were pretty slack. If you're raiding a building containing terrorist sympathisers you don't let them stand there uncuffed or take off your body armour because its hot.
On this one I'm inclined to think they're all garbage. Hey, Baddiel's making my point! Parties in opposition can make whatever promises they like, they don't have to be costed, they'll likely never be tested, the government therefore has to overegg what it can do in order to not be seen as underachievers.
But then, that would mean they would each have to offer hope, whilst at least one only seems to want to work on fears...
Sorry, what I meant was why should a member of the Govt have to apologise at all. They didn't kill the policeman.

From watching the programme myself. My plan's to work in education. She started by disappointing me as an Education Secretary, she's not improved, infact every time I see or hear her she goes down in my estimations.
Also, she sounds like a bloke.
One? Which one's that?
For me, the answer's no, it's not the public's job to support a failing business. I will however be boycotting BMW, who have behaved as dispicable corporate vultures taking all that's worth anything cheaply and having stripped the assets thrown the rest away.
A manifesto will give you an idea of the general policies of the party, but ignore the specifics. They will go back on promises if it suits them later. Look at tuition fees.
Yeah, I get that, but they didn't see the workforce as an asset and are happy to drop them. BMW will profit whilst the people and suppliers to the business go poor.
It's a lack of compassion or business ethics.
