Dear oh Dear...those poor little socialists are just trying to sign you up for something you really need. :-). I am a really big fan of the BBC World Service and it kept me sane for 20 years in the US. It was actually free (through a live link-up) via WNYC NPR for four hours every night. Payment was strictly voluntary though i was quite glad to throw them a shilling or two whenever their annual appeal came round...

I mean for Christ's sake, you've seen what the alternative is, if you rely on Fox News - that dumbass Jeanine Piro saying that Manchester is a "no-go area for non-Muslims". She's like the east-coast version of Sarah Palin - kinda hot looking, definitely intellectually challenged but guys would tune in even if she's only reading the phone book...
