He's not wrong though, where's the outrage about Yemen, hundreds of thousands killed by Saudi Arabia in the last few years, civil war in northern Ethiopia going on over a year with war crimes / crimes against humanity and nothing being said, etc. etc.

Surprised they didn't resort to their usual tactic and respond by thanking you for your "feedback".

Did you say it was a formal complaint and mention breach of BAI codes for programme standards? If so then they have a limited time to respond.

O I got the predictable auto response , that was it, I couldn't be bothered with a formal comatose be honest as that would also end , Predictably, just wanted to make a point, so to speak 😏

Looks like another Ukraine episode this week.

Mary Robinson will be on trying to out hand manoeuvre Adi Roche last week.

Mary McAleese will be on to draw comparisons to northern Ireland no doubt.

Tony Connolly on to tell about his time embedded in the war zone, about 20 year after I believe it was first done on a large scale by journalists in Iraq.

Dolly parton via zoom to talk about something else.

It's difficult to find data on the shock & awe' bombing of Baghdad in 1989. Per Wiki "The Soviet Union condemned Baghdad's aggression against Kuwait, but did not support the United States and allied intervention in Iraq and tried to avert it ."
