So was Ch.4 right to broadcast the 'Alternative' Xmas Speech - Page 2

Channel 4 have traditionally aired contraversal things in the past. The media get up in arms, and there's always a pros and cons for why they did it. The burying under the patio, the lesbian kiss...

This will all be forgotten about and blown over next week.

Were they right? I don't know. Personally, it didnt replace the Queens speech at 3pm (which I watch/listen to religiously every year) and I chose not to turn onto channel 4 at 7.15pm or whatever time it was.

Did anyone actually watch it? Was it interesting?

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in his address that "the general will of nations" was for a return to "human values". I am not convinced that that is the case, regardless of what Obama claimed when he was running for US President.

Whilst I would agree with his overall claim that society has lost touch with "human values", I don't agree that any Government is all that interested in regaining that contact and I am certainly not convinced that adopting hard-line Islamic or Christian teachings is the way to achieve it.
