[BLOBJECT] Designed object styled by an expired trend of morally turpid purpose. FORM-OVER-FUNCTION-and-PURPOSE. [Endemic] if not emblematic of the Bush/[Chenney] era of 'Bubble' economies and baseless wars. This style came about without deep reazoning, solely because it could by way of technology. Conceived under the false and misguided [precept] that "design could bring stories to life". Characterized by the advent of faster rendering and 3D applications which allowed to execute visions of the 50's [modernity], except with out the inherent reasoning that makes timeless useful classics and trully beautiful objects. Like a bubble, this style has gone bust. [Blobject] also invokes the bloated state of our environment whence humans keep on gorging on superficially conceived stuff and piling that useless stuff on top of useless stuff. Blobjects upon blobjects..

The following is a statement issued by the BBC

The BBC has launched an independent review, led by former Head of Sky News Nick Pollard, to determine whether there were any failings in the BBC's management of the Newsnight investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of children by Jimmy Savile.

However, on the basis of material available now, it is apparent from information supplied by the Newsnight editor and programme team - that the explanation in a blog by the editor of his decision to drop the programme's investigation is inaccurate or incomplete in some respects.

By way of correction and clarification:

1.The blog says that Newsnight had no evidence that anyone from the Duncroft home could or should have known about the allegations. In fact some allegations were made (mostly in general terms) that some of the Duncroft staff knew or may have known about the abuse.

2. The blog says that Newsnight had no evidence against the BBC. No allegation was made to the programme that BBC staff were aware of Mr Savile's alleged activities, but there were some allegations of abusive conduct on BBC premises.

3. The blog says that all the women spoken to by the programme had contacted the police independently already and that Newsnight had no new evidence against any other person that would have helped the police. It appears that in some cases women had not spoken to the police and that the police were not aware of all the allegations.

The BBC regrets these errors and will work with the Pollard review to assemble all relevant evidence to enable the review to determine the full facts.
