My local paper carried a lovely story this Sunday about baby Jessica, who was born at 23 weeks gestation

As I said in the comment, just when you think you are about to give up, along comes a baby like Jessica who makes you realise it’s worth it.

Of course, Jessica was a poorly baby when she was delivered at 23 weeks. Babies aborted for social reasons are healthy babies and would stand an even better chance of survival than Jessica did.

I am much amused by the shock horror reaction regarding the publishing of the pay and expenses of BBC executives.

It’s about the same level of reaction we would expect if the salaries of the clerks and staff working in the House of Commons were published in one hit.

What everyone wants to see is the pay and expenses of all of the presenters. TV and Radio.  I would imagine the reaction and the outcry from the public would then be similar as it was with MPs.
