Some fascinating videos this time around (if you want to post them on the boards at least give us some credit or forever be a loser). Whats interesting in some of these is the perspective of the commentators and a few factual gems that demonstrate just how poorly researched so much about both sets of pirates has been in the past. In other words some decent research on some of these videos, and yes a few of the old easily discredited cliches about Ronan and the birth of Caroline.

Finally we have been a little tougher on comment moderation here for the past few weeks, just trying to filter out the angry brigade and keep things more on topic. I'd rather have no comments than the nasty stuff and visitor levels are holding up despite a slowing down on new features.

These two videos may well be familiar to many of you. However putting them together and focusing in particular on the segments and commentary regarding the setting up of both Radio London and Swinging Radio England in Florida, reinforces much that Mervyn Hagger has said about the origins of these two stations.

Having said that, should I now expect the usual Mike Wilson is Mervyn Hagger, or that I am his side kick nonsense from the usual suspects, or are we going to look at the subject matter? Or maybe the videos will just appear on the Joke Forums without a mention of this place.

Out of interest, has any Caroline fanatic ever considered that he or she might just be part of a manipulated cult? Just a thought, and no I personally do not hate the modern day version of Caroline, regardless of some of the comments left here, I just don't listen because it's not to my taste musically, so why would I listen?

First it was the GPO, then it became the DTI and today we are blessed with OFCOM, whose masters the BBC, ITV, Sky & company, make sure the TV market is nice and cosy (hence the furor when GB News appeared to break rank) and of course its the Biased Boring Corporation and their partners in kind at Global & the other one, who ensure those naughty pirates are kept under scrutiny using of course, tax payers money.

In the time the DTI were harassing, raiding and spoiling tens if not hundreds of thousands of peoples enjoyment with those wonderful alternative land based pirates, that apparently stole or according to some of the hysteria kidnapped listeners (yet no ransom money was ever asked for), the DTI enjoyed the privilege of protecting people from their own free will.
