Prospects for Thursday, 3 April

  • 3 Apr 08, 10:14 AM

Carol Rubra is tonight's programme producer. Here's her early email to the team.

Good morning,

We have a few things under way but I'm interested in your ideas too and I can find space for them on the programme.

Here are the stories I'm interesting in covering at the moment - Zimbabwe, Airline trial, and we have an offer of a piece from Tim Franks about the eviction of a group of Israeli settlers.

Tony Blair is giving a speech this evening on Faith and Globalisation. I'd like to set up a discussion on this - who would you like to hear from?

Zimbabwe - I would like Stephanie to try and explain how to manage a 100,000% inflation and I'd like anyone to explain how the expectations of the people of Zimbabwe can be managed in the short term.

Mortgages - what happens in a world when people can't get a mortgage simply because they are not available?

Parliament - Vince Cable is rebuked for questioning whether The Queen is more in touch with ordinary citizens than the government; MP's expense/salaries/pensions are news because they are seen to be excessive to the ordinary citizen; official inflation is around 2% yet ordinary citizens know that their everyday inflation is probably between 6% and 8%- is the relationship between the state and the people nearing breaking point?

For the Faith and Globalisation discussion, perhaps Richard Dawkins, author of 'The God Delusion', would be suitable - I'm sure he'd have something interesting to say on that issue and Tony Blair's opinions of it.

Blair to speak on Faith and Globalisation? I assume the sub-heading is 'Two of the many things I don't understand but have been happy to blunder into in my relentless search for self advancement.'

Things to cover:

Zimbabwe, Terminal 5, Mortgages (especially how squeezing the first time buyer even more will impact on the house market, and those trying to buy property who are unable to save sue to the high cost of living yet property prices are standing at 6 and more times the annual income)

Blair's speech seems to be at Yale?
The list of previous speakers might
spark some ideas on who to discuss
this ...... Previous lectures were
given by journalist Alistair Cooke,
Indira Ghandi, the satirist Russell
Baker, and a sprinkling of composers including Vaughan Williams ........?

You could either send this up with an invitation to Ben Elton and say
Ricky Gervais to come in to discuss
the ascent of Blair into this lark;
or (given limited budget) approach:

Gore Vidal; Charles Wheeler; Joan
Bakewell; Amatya Sen; or Germaine
Greer even .... or Rory Bremner in
a dog collar even ..............??
Barenboim and George Steiner even?

But then again if Christopher Hitchins is cheaper .........

None of the above. Population control (not the subsidiary immigration). Can the world go on growing population wise forever? If it becomes clear that we in the UK cannot what happens to the economy? Can a liberal free market system cope with static or even falling demand in the long run as population levels are maintained at a certain level? If confidence in the economic system fades will we in fifty years suddenly have a situation where confidence in the economy disappears never to return?

Has the present crisis in the international banking system been caused by the activities of the hedge funds and if so is there anyway they can be regulated.

How about Jonathan Miller for the faith and globalisation spot? I understand he is a more bearable advocate of atheism than Dawkins. Yes, I know what you are thinking - it wouldn't be difficult.

The Lisbon Treaty - it's passage through the House of Lords and the Lib Dems position on their Lords - in other words how do they excuse the inexcusable - lots of us have never had a say on the UK inside europe - and it is time we did have a say - especially when they are ignoring the wishes of the people - some 85% want a say - there will be very few Lib Dem MP's in the House of Commons after the next election after this treachery

Further to population control. Would it not be better to cap and even reverse immigration than be forced to build 15 new towns thus concreting over more of our precious land.

something is going on? Is it related to the toxic dumps?

Yea I would like you to have a discussion on Harriet Harman鈥檚 use of a stab vest in Peckham the other day and the deeper implications on how a) it reflects on the people of Peckham b) What it says about Mrs Harmen and her view of her constituency.

Re: post 15 by james cochran

I think the 成人快手's output on the Middle East has vastly improved since the Balen report, so I'd like to see the report on the settlers. There's a lot going on in Israel atm and I'd like to see more of it reported.

You say the airline plot would have been the biggest terror atrocity since 9/11. In terms of numbers of civilians killed and maimed, "shock and awe" which "preceded" the invasion, designed to terrorise (literally) the Iraqi population into early submission, was the worst atrocity since 9/11, and exceeded 9/11.

Allan Lewis mentions that the 成人快手's output since the Balen report has improved, well sorry Allan I have to disagree, even the teaser for the film regarding Israeli settlers has a bias slant towards it.

If the 成人快手 were prepared to release the Balen report (which we all paid for) to the public that would be a start in showing that the 成人快手 has stopped it's percieved anti-semetic reporting.

It would be better still if the 成人快手 removed Bowen, Gardner and Plett from being allowed to report on anything to do with the Middle East.

Could tie in the related topics of faith,globalisation and population.

This would enable us widen the criticism usually leveled at only one faith and also express concern at the new world powers with their burgening economies and populations.

Ken Livingstone is a cruel and cynical man. He dares suggest that family life is necessary in preventing youth going astray. He blabbers on about the importance of male role models, but what type of role does he represent? The manner in which he has tried to starve to death London's pigeons, reminds one of Mao Tse-Tung's crusade to kill all the sparrows in China! If he would deign to read the Bible, he would learn "His eye is on the sparrow". Livingstone, alas, is a man without modesty or compassion

Sounds as if you'd be better elsewhere. Leave this to those with more love of their country and more respect for their countrymen and women than you appear to have.We'll just have to try to struggle on without you.

Israel continues to build illegal settlements in West Bank and the United Nations are doing nothing to protect innocent Palestinians who are coninually losing their livelihood daily.

Israel have destroyed many homes of innocent people and yet the whole world sits and watch, and why? Because Israel has the backing to commit these atrocious and illegal acts from the United States.

The questions "Do UK citizens get value for money from the 成人快手?" and the subsidiary question "To what extent does the 成人快手 distort our national values and beliefs?" are worth asking.

With so many communication channels in television the news is available from a diverse range of sources and many do not incur a charge in this our Freeview age.

A related point is this diverse range is extended even more by the World Wide Web itself. Do we need to pay for a great big centralizing 成人快手 behemoth?
