Enid Blyton's life story
Banned by the BBC for almost 30 years, her writing continues to be labelled sexist and racist. And yet Enid Blyton is still regarded as one of the best known and loved children's authors of all time. This is her story.

27/09/2019 09:56Why should the British taxpayers be compelled by law to support and sustain the BBC? It is an ultra left wing, utterly biased institution which should be made to support itself in the same way as other media channels. Profligate in the extreme. it has been allowed to grow unabated to the monstrous behemoth that it is today.

27/09/2019 09:54Big question for BBC is why smother the truth about Jimmy saville? Why when important people like paul gambochini or esther rantzen knew what was going on didnt inform the police. But ban Johnny rotten because he knew and said it .
