Tory culture minister realises 6 music is great and does U-turn over closure

Since the news broke that 6 Music is at great risk of closure to save the BBC money, fans of the station have gathered in droves to demand it's left on air. A true sign that it's officially reached 'public outrage-level', even that couple behind the Rage Against The Machine Christmas number one single have even got involved, starting a Facebook group called 'Save BBC 6 Music' that's attracted nearly 80,000 members.

At this stage, any culture minister who is mere months away from a general election begins to think carefully about which side of the fence he wants to stand on. Why, the popular one, of course! But what if you've already publicly welcomed the BBC's proposed package of cuts? If you're the Conservative's shadow culture minister Ed Vaizey, it's no trouble at all. Just do a massive U-turn within days of course!

In an email response to a member of the public who wrote to him in support of saving 6 Music, Vaizey admitted he'd never actually listened to the station before all the fuss kicked up but is now an "avid listener" since checking it out. In a surprisingly (and credit where it's due - refreshingly) honest email, Vaizey explained how he supported the debate surrounding the BBC's operations but wanted 6 Music saved:

"I decided to support the general thrust of the proposals [for the BBC to undertake a strategic review] in public because there are others who want the BBC to go much further in terms of reducing their service. I thought it would be helpful to the BBC to signal that their efforst - in trying to reduce the scope of some of their services - were reduced," he said, before going on to praise the station.

"Anyway, several things have happened since I spoke out. I am now an avid listener of 6 Music. I suspect that 6 Music has doubled its audience. I strongly suspect 6 Music will be saved."

As much as I admire Vaizey for being so frank about his lack of 6 Music awareness, it's a little troubling that the man who could soon be Britain's culture secretary hadn't ever listened to such a fantastic station that over 600,000 people enjoy weekly. With his claimed new-found love comes the obvious question: is the admiration genuine or a cynical ploy to avoid unpopularity so close to the election? Since the news broke that 6 Music is at great risk of closure to save the... more

RE: Divorce Agreement

John Wall wants a divorce from liberals... Well I have something to say about that...

Clever, if not simplistic. I'd be tempted to take you up on the offer if not for the fact that it's based on certain false premises, and even after the divorce you would continue to infringe on the rights of others... that's just not acceptable to me.

There's a popular misconception that liberals are anti-military. I'm a liberal and a veteran of the United States Army. I'm against abuse of military power. I believe supporting our troops means not sending them off to die in an unjust war, (AKA Iraq).

I served in the military to defend such things as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Judeo-Christian values are great. So are the values of Islam, Scientology, Humanism, as well as Buddhism and Hinduism. The practice of all are protected by the U.S. Constitution.

Now, you may call me a tree-hugger, but the fact is that your lack of concern for the environment will pollute my kid's lungs and poison their water. Even if we are divorced, your SUVs will pollute my air. Sorry, but you just can't contain it and I happen to like clean air.

And before you decide to file those divorce papers, think about the good that liberals have done for this country: Liberals ended slavery, (yes, Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, but read the history books, Republicans were the liberals of the 1800s,) and liberals gave us civil rights. Liberals championed Medicare and Medicaid and liberals fought so that women could have the right to vote.

What have Conservatives done? Well, they've fought us along the way... you know, just in case progress in these areas moved just a little too fast.

America is a pluralist society. We are who we are because of our ethnic, religious, cultural and political diversity. It is this diversity that makes us great. If you don't like it, then you can move out of the house. I'm staying and I'm keeping the kids and the dog.

So no, I don't agree to a divorce. Instead, I recommend counseling. I don't quit on America and I won't take the easy way out at the expense of others.

Sincerely,

Lucas Ives, Former Law Student, Current MBA Student, U.S. Veteran and a Proud AmericanJohn Wall wants a divorce from liberals... Well I have something to say about that...... more
