    BBC News - UK

    Most Popular
    From UK in the last week

    Personally I find it sad that the fact that our guys being hurt and killed are classified under most popular! What the hell is popular about our losses?

    I know it is due to the search element but it just seems wrong, I have sent a complaint to BBC about this on their website.

    What do you think?

    Surely it just means the most looked up item, not "popular" as in what makes people happy !!

    Overly sensitive, mate. It's just a rating of most visited pages, not an assessment of the motives for viewing.

    If anything, it's pleasing that so many people are taking an interest. The alternative is that they don't give a shit.

    It has a "Most viewed" section. That's offensive to blind people! Er...taxi!

    I am not trying to find something offensive at all, I just wonder is this the correct wording, I understand it is the most popular search, however it doesent ring true with what it seems to be directing people to.
