Can we not have a rest from the Olympic torch? Yes it's a bit of a giggle to see what a shambles it's turning into but will anything change? I doubt it.

The worldwide rise in the cost of food seems to be a more worthy cause. Change of land use and the growing of biofuels have come up, but why the sudden rise in food prices over the last 12 months? Brown has asked the G8 to devise a plan to deal with it - what are the options?

M&S may get 拢3.5 million refund in VAT wrongly imposed on tea-cakes, what will they do with it? Free underpants for loyal customers?

Gordon Brown's view on public services in 2004 to Allyson Pollack in her questioning PFI policy "his response was to declare repeatedly that the public sector is bad at management and that only the private sector is efficient and can manage services well." (Read p.4 of Education plc Understanding private sector participation in public sector education by Stephen j. Ball Prof. Sociology London Univ.)

This book may provide some valuable source material. You may wish to invite him on the prog?

Oh dear the dreaded 502 message. Can you put this on the programme as well. (see last nights blogs)

Gordon is to speak about food prices. Given the huge rise in food prices why do farmers still get 4 billion a year in public subsidy?

given the trend is for ever higher food prices why is the trend also for ever higher public subsidy?

Why does the bulk of the subsidy go to millionaires?

Isn't time they pulled their weight?

Dear Newsnight

why the emphasis on Sport to change China's policy on Tibet and Darfur, why not the other levers that might be used?,

that said coercion is the wrong approach in my opinion,

there are other ways to do this?

Perhaps Newsnight could examine the different options or approaches, that might be used instead or as well?,

another suggestion for you NOT to use (!!)

best wishes though

Bae and more......

Is`nt it interesting that the American bank where the alleged slush funds were deposited for the benefit of a Saudi national in the Arms affair is the same as that used for deposits for the ruling family of oil rich Equatorial Guinea.As we all know this country was to be the target of a mercenary lead coup featuring,it is alleged,the son of a former conservative politician.Of further interest is that this same bank had/has an employee who is the brother of the current president of America.

Of historical interest the founders of the US bank referred to was once associated with a gentleman called Peabody who left the US for England.Later with the help of a prominent banking family he helped in the creation of a major banking house which today has a former Nulabour leader on its payroll.

Small world for some.

Dear nightnight,

Why not report some of the truth about Tibetan issues? Instead of blaming China and being desperate to see the embarassment to China, some history should be reported to break the boring news. For example, at the begging of 19's, England invaded China and occupied Tibet , ever since, they've been tring to do everything they could to seperate Tibet from China by funding and training Tibetan people... So who should be really responsible for all the disasters happening today in Tebit?
