HAVING watched George W Bush and Al Gore slugging it out in debate on TV, I do hope that we don't sink to the level of Americans.

Surely, it's enough to have party political broadcasts in the run-up to the next election.

Do we have to do everything that America does?

The Jerry Springer Show is a shining example of TV at its worst -- it certainly doesn't set good examples.

Come on, England, enough is enough!
