Chugalug2,

“The days of glory in WW2 and the 50’s are long gone”

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

You think a war that claimed the lives of millions, ruined the lives of countless more and bankrupted half the western world was some kind of “glory”?

I grew up in the 50’s and if you think THEY were some kind of “glory” then you are harking back to a past that only ever existed in your imagination.

As for Woman’s hour, you clearly listen to a VERY different programme to the one I do

Whilst the likes of Greg Dyke most probably DID have a rather strange agenda he is long gone and largely discredited. I think you are being rather harsh on an organisation that takes pride in not presenting a visual or verbal equivalent of the Daily Mail.
