I, for one, usually listen to the radio via the Internet. Whether it's with talkies or not; though I like if the station has something beside music.
Much more rarely I read something on the Internet. And now it's anyway news about the UK's radio industry

You know recently Ofsted revealed something about some radical Muslim "drive" in certaim schools in Birmingham?
So there was a topic on Radio Kent (BBC) if British schools should be stripped of any religious ruling altogether or not.
See, many say 'Britain is stiil a Christian country'. But you know, you can't prohibit one religion in a field - and at the same time turn the blind eye on another -- can you? The UK is legally a secular country after all - isn't it?
Interested?

The BBC Leicester presenter just read news about the authorities applying a new regulation against domestic violence, and his intonation got to seem very dreaded when he ended ".. and were banned from their homes for <upset>28 days(!;)</upset>":D

Listening to, in this case, BBC Leeds, they [BBC] can't seem to help talking about that sports competition.
Recently one of the stations provided this info: 19% Brits care about football, 31 - more or less, and the other 50% don't care at all.

It used to italicize if you did this, let me see ... nothing. Can't see the underscores, but also no italics.

Via Facebook I've come across this news: Liz Truss: A not-very-green environment secretary -
it's about the now ongoing British Cabinet re-shuffle undertaken by Cameron.

Liz Truss, the woman now charged with watching out for Britain's environment, used to spend her days working for Shell - and has been a vocal supporter of a third runway at Heathrow.

So why has David Cameron made her the next environment secretary? It's the latest move in an extraordinary career where the backing of the PM has proved critical more than once.

On BBC WM it's a topic about health tourism to the UK (NHS).
Interestingly, the presenter called on an expert... The expert very nicely sounds like a native Brit in his first generation.
It's not about racism, right? It's about Britishness...

On BBC Wiltshire, they've been discussing Boris Johnson's haircut for almost the whole afternoon there (it's the evening time already here, but I have GMT set on my laptop clock).

Independent Scotland 'to pay to receive BBC services' - says former director general Lord Birt

Lord Birt, former director general of the BBC, has claimed that an independent Scotland would lose access to the public broadcaster’s TV and radio programming, if it does not pay for it “one way or another”.
If Scotland votes yes in less than a month’s time, Birt told the Guardian that the broadcaster would immediately see a 10 per cent cut in license payer funding.

F-bomb dropped on BBC Radio 2 Drivetime

One particular incident on Tuesday heard special guest Sofie Gråbøl, who was talking about filming a television show scene said: “Give me my f***ing jumper”, to the amazement and amusement of the audience. Simon interrupted and said “It’s my job to say at this point..” Sofie then apologised and said “I meant bloody”

The first guess, actually, was 'the American flag there':D
But Alex immediately ruled that out and clarified "on Earth";)

Oscar Pistorius has been cleared from the murder charges.
He can still be subject to homicide/manslaughter (was it a womanslaughter?).
