Post BBC Radio Solent and 100% of its listeners support our case! 
On the 16th January 2007, BBC Radio Solent broadcast a programme about the case for the Fight for the PJM.

They asked listeners their views - 100% supported our case. The programme could be listened to via the Internet and so responses hurtled in not just from the UK but from around the world ... Australia, Canada, and Vietnam were three countries mentioned. The response was so staggering that the BBC decided to continue the issue the next day ... and subsequently even more interest arose and so the BBC broadcast another programme a week later on the 24th January.

The BBC have carried out their own research and, at the end of that programme with 100% support from their listeners and knowledge of the massive support from MPs, the BBC announced that one of their reporters would take a Petition with Listeners' Concerns to Margaret Beckett at the Foreign Office and to Denis Brennan at the Cabinet Office!

Even we at Fight4thePJM were stunned by the response. It is all very humbling.

Thanks to a PJMer down under in Australia who recorded the programmes off-air from the Internet, you can listen in to some clips from the Julian Clegg shows. Please note, these clips were recorded from the Internet in Australia. Nevertheless, we wish to attribute all copyright to BBC Radio Solent and these clips must not be copied or used commercially without their consent.

Next Action

The level of support being expressed via the Julian Clegg Show on Radio Solent was so stunning that, if it continues (keep sending those emails, texts and phone calls .. today, tomorrow, and whenever you can) we understand that the BBC reporter, Jo Palmer, will take a 'Petition' which records listeners' concerns and support to Margaret Beckett at the Foreign Office and to the Cabinet Office.

Post Our Valentine's Day Message to London! 
Herewith our Valentine's Day Message especially for the civil servants in London who are having so much trouble fing the words "We have reviewed the case for the Pingat Jasa Malaysia and, as a result, the Queen has approved a recommendation from the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals that British citizens should be given formal permission to wear the medal".

Herewith a message from the BBC inviting us to another broadcast about our case on Thursday, 15th February. (Tomorrow if you're reading this 'today'!) Perhaps this stunning support will help HMG formulate the words that will bring this matter to an end.

Post 15 February 2007 broadcast 
The case for the PJM was broadcast again on Thursday, 15th February.

These clips (as with the others, all recorded from the Internet in Australia) tell the story of stunning worldwide support for our case ... and confirm the BBC reporter's, Jo Palmer, intention of taking a Petition to the Foreign Office.

Put the kettle on and listen to these messages from around the UK, Canada, Australia, Vietnam, the United States and many other places:

http://www.fight4thepjm.org/documents/Media_Coverage/Solent_15Feb_1.mp3 (99KB)

http://www.fight4thepjm.org/documents/Media_Coverage/Solent_15Feb_2.mp3 (192KB)

http://www.fight4thepjm.org/documents/Media_Coverage/Solent_15Feb_3.mp3 (965KB ... large file)

And the grand finale for today:

http://www.fight4thepjm.org/documents/Media_Coverage/Solent_15Feb_4.mp3 (NB 1.8MB ... maybe only for broadband or patient listeners ... it's worth the wait!)
