I caught the BBC news at lunchtime (1 p.m.) and was left somewhat bemused by the priorities...

Top headline - a messed up phone in competition on Blue Peter last November that had a faked winner, followed by a long interview with someone from children's broadcasting.

Second item - the trident vote.

I'm not excusing what happened with the Blue Peter thing (or any of the other dodgey premuim rate phone things) but frankly, which is more important in the grand scheme of things - little Johnny/Janey didn't get a toy he/she didn't need or Mr Blair does?
