How can the BBC be saved from itself without destroying it?

Completely agree with you.

Are you suggesting the BBC should be good and open towards everyone but the UK (which frankly is nowadays a fairly small and inoffensive island).

Re: Too balanced, that's the problem

Indeed!

Re: Or...

McAlpine story was just a classic effect of the pendulum oscillating to the other extreme after the Savile investigation was prematurely archived by newsnight editors and the following clamor about it. It'd have been the same had McAlpine been labour.

Juries shouldn't try patent cases

I wonder how a jury of normal people can judge a case with 100 pages of instructions on what to do and what not to do in a complex patent case in 2 days. When I did jury service 90% of the people didn't even want to be there and all had other things to do. Can imagine the depth of thought this jury has put into this.

Epic fail of the jury system. Infact this guy lost me at the 2nd paragraph when he says this is "it's a fillip for the jury system too"
