BBC Have Your Say priorities

I would say that there have been three big news stories this Easter weekend: the Somali pirate rescue, the Thailand anti-government protests and the Damian McBride/Derek Draper slurring the Tories story. It was with no great surprise that I Have Your Say has three "debates" on the go:

How can pirates be stopped?
Reports say a US captain held by Somali pirates has been freed. How can the pirates be defeated?


How can peace be restored in Thailand?
An anti-government protest in Bangkok has broken up, after soldiers moved in overnight. What next for the country?


Is UK society 'increasingly fearful'?
People in the UK are growing ever more anxious, a report claims. Do you agree?


How odd, no debate on the RedFlag website and the slurring emails that go to the heart of Number 10. I wonder why the BBC are not keen to let the "masses" debate such a subject...


UPDATE:
I see that the BBC have managed to find an angle on this matter that leads to people discussing anything but Gordon Brown's alleged part in this matter:

"Should the role of political advisers be tightened?

The Conservatives are continuing to demand an apology from Gordon Brown for e-mails sent by a former adviser who discussed smearing senior Tories.
Should the role of political advisers be curtailed?

Damian McBride, the PM's ex-political press officer, quit after his unfounded claims about the Tory leader and shadow chancellor were picked up by a Westminster blogger.

The e-mails were originally sent in January to former government spin doctor Derek Draper, who runs a Labour blog.

Mr Brown has expressed "deep regret" in letters to those involved and called for a tighter aides' code of conduct. Shadow cabinet minister Francis Maude said the case raised "serious concerns" about the entire Number 10 operation.

Should the role of special advisers be more tightly regulated? Have bloggers blurred the boundaries between legitimate reporting and political spin? Are smear campaigns an inevitable part of political life?"
