I only received a couple of replies to my message from subscribers to this list. It seems that you don't watch much TV - or news programmes at least! My colleagues (teachers) don't seem to either. It would appear that nothing about the two resignations appeared on any of the news programmes. It almost seems like policy on the part of the broadcasters. I have suggested before that I think that the TV media have a vital role to play. The UK government would find it very difficult to maintain their hard (criminal?) stance if the public got to see and hear a bit about the effects of sanctions. Apart from regular news items how about a Panorama about the sanctions? Anybody got any ideas on how to lobby the broadcasters? *** previous message *** I did not see any TV last night (15th Feb) here in the UK. Can anyone say whether the main news bulletins on TV covered this story? news at 6pm, 7pm, 9pm, 11pm, Newsnight?
