Samilktray Posted 11 March 2023 Share Posted 11 March 2023 Disappointed this morning to see a post of mine with at least 16 laughing face reactions deleted. My ego feels bruised and quite frankly my Saturday has been significantly dented. Thanks for that Foxestalk! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 11 March 2023 Share Posted 11 March 2023 Genuine question. Would scrapping the license fee and having the BBC go commercial/subscription be the only way to end this kind of government interference in the BBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In layman's terms he is a f++king idiot and deserves whatever comes his way. Spot on. A day at the Holocaust museum might educate the ignorant idiot. Leicester legend, but a bit of a dick head.

It would reduce government interference but increase interference of others (eg Murdoch) so some folks be careful what they wish for. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Clarkson has walked in the room. Funnily enough Jeremy Clarkson wrote a column for the sun in 2011 where he said striking public sector workers should be shot in front of their families then carried on working for the BBC for 8 years finally rightly leaving when he chinned a co worker. So clarkson isn't really the argument winner you think he is. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. The news source would either be Channel 4 (I enjoy it but lets face it its not balanced) chav tv I mean ITV, Murdochs Sky and god forbid GB News. There would also be the emergence of another Fox News style outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted 11 March 2023 Share Posted 11 March 2023 21 minutes ago, Lionator said: I hate when people describe Lineker as the ‘liberal elite’, he literally grew up between new parks and brauny whereas the ones calling him that were all too busy at oxbridge. Surely his path from nothing to rich man is the Tory dream? Made even worse when the ones they are backing are the privately educated, never worked a real job in their lives, plumbs in their mouths, elites! It's the same type of people who fell for Trumps 'drain the swamp' without realising he was the biggest shit in the swamp! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil advocate time and a bit off topic - One thing I will say its that while I disagree with the elites pouting phrases like champagne socialism, I can sympathise with the working class or poor using it. There's a huge difference between the two as I can understand the working class and poor being told how to live their life by a rich socialite a little condensing.

This is the whole issue though, BBC have stacks of controversial people on their payroll but it fits in line with how the government is ran.

HighPeakFox Posted 11 March 2023 Share Posted 11 March 2023 It is very difficult to keep this debate rational when enough people misquote, fail to read or just outright perform detailed mental gymnastics in order to avoid the important issue at hand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
