Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation

That's the motto of the BBC, and this is the scene today with protesters outside the World Service HQ - somewhat calmer than earlier when they tried to occupy the building. The issue is that the BBC are refusing to air the Disasters Appeal Committee appeal for funding for Gaza.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, the Middle East is a mess. It does give me cause for wry amusement that, actually, the DEC are getting much more airtime and publicity this way than they would had the broadcast gone ahead.....

You're On Air

As regulars know, I enjoy The Way We See It, not only for the photographic challenge but because it gets me to look again at what are often very familiar places. That's the case this week, which sent me to Langham Place, the home of the BBC. I discovered a window in the side of the BBC building that has a wonderful jumble from the 85 years of its history. Even if you don't get off on technology, it's rather fun to see how far we've come since the cat's whisker.
