I do see what you mean Terry, but in a way it only reinforces my long
held belief that the Beeb somewhere in its hierachie has made some
sort of decision to put such issues in the In Touch Gheto when really
they should be mainstreamed in programmes like You and Yours. Still,
maybe really Vi-gen or some other list's territory.
Cheers,
From Ray

The other thing is that actually the topic which took up the majority
