I choose not to have ignorant, jealous, left wing propaganda beamed into my residence. I'm much better for it as well!  :y
As said Geoff, they need a clear out. They've had a heheheheuuuuge balls up. They've made changes, and some have spat the dummy.

Dummy spitting is not part of the BBC ethos afaik, especially by those that caused the balls up in the first place. Then they get attention for sorting it out due to the side effect of a strike. Ops em. Sack the buggers IMO.

It's possibly due to this impartiality that the Militant element where not sacked on the spot the first time round with the Newsnight fiasco :y
true they should have gone imediatly no ezuses the beeb made a mistake there they should be made to fall on there swords  they are the ones behind this strike fhey are the ones that should go that will save the beeb some cash :y :y :y

The strike took place because they refuse to accept any compulsary redundancies.
Imo the licence fee should be on the same basis as SKY subscription.If you want to watch the BBC you pay it,if you dont want to watch it then you dont have to pay.We are constantly told its the greatest broadcaster in the world (and that was probably true many years ago),so in that case it stands to reason that it would also be successful if it was run on a commercial basis. :)

But wouldn't that mean an increase in costs, and in increase in fee..?

Although... As a sky subscriber, I don't see why I should pay both. But then again, if I didn't pay the Beeb, I'd have to pay more to Sky for the same channels. Odds on there.


Seems a rather extreme cure to a short(ish) term problem tbh. :-\

Having a much needed clear out of the deadwood is a completely different and unrelated issue. The BBC is institutionally left wing, and that's wrong. It's got nothing to do with other content like nature programs for example (which are very good).

there a lot less biased than some outer chanels i could mention so it evans it up dosent it

No. It's not a case of comparing of 'evening  things up'. If those other channels are funded by private revenue they can broadcast whatever opinions or political bias they want, subject to regulation and audience interest of course. The BBC is funded by the public, and therefore should be completely impartial.
It is! Just doesn't happen to present the same opinion as yours. ;)
true chris  :y
if everybody had the same opinion the world would be a very dull place i think the beeb do a great job whith the funds they get
i was wondering if byje beeb have to pay tax on the funds they get?

It's not the BBC's job to offer opinion. They should present information in a fair and impartial way, without favouring any viewpoint. Simples  8)

Strongly disagree as I do not want some puppet of government policy or simply a mirror on middle of the road, non-controversial, thought.

Long live the BBC, and long may it continue!

So you don't pay the TV licence then Geof, so I hope you do not watch television? Therefore you can hardly comment on BBC output.  ::) ::) ::) ::)

 ;) ;)

Surprise surprise I thought you might disagree. I'm beginning to think you're some sort of left wing puppet tbh, going by your posts in other threads. The world is full of people, organisations and so on who want to control others. The BBC should be impartial, otherwise it's unfair to those who have a different viewpoint but still pay tv tax.

Of course I watch television, how could I comment on it without knowing about it? That's a silly thing to say isn't it. I just don't pay the tv tax!  :y

So you are then a criminal and robbing all us who do pay for the service of watching TV!  That is why I asked an apparently silly question to bring out the truth! :( :( :(

No, you and I will never agree, but for your information I am no left winger! :-X :-X :-X :-X

How dare you accuse me of being a criminal? You've also used the word 'rob' in the wrong context.  :)

I could see your childish attempt at trying to 'trick' me to 'bring the truth out'! You're so sure of yourself you couldn't even see I turned it back on you. You assumed, then accused me of something I haven't and don't do. That's the problem with people in society. Quick to judge and jump to the wrong conclusion.

I watch tv, of course I do. I even have to suffer the BBC occasionally. I don't pay tv tax though. And no I'm not a criminal. I don't watch or record television as it's being broadcast in any place I would be liable for tv tax, if I was doing so.

I'll accept your apology.  :P

"You need a valid TV Licence if you use TV receiving equipment to watch or record television programmes as they’re being shown on TV. ‘TV receiving equipment’ means any equipment which is used to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV. This includes a TV, computer, mobile phone, games console, digital box, DVD/VHS recorder or any other device."

and...............

"It’s against the law to watch or record TV programmes as they're being shown on TV without a valid licence. This includes the use of devices such as a TV, computer, mobile phone, games console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder.
Watching TV without a valid licence is a criminal offence. This can lead to prosecution, a court appearance and a fine of up to £1,000 (not including legal costs)."

You contradict yourself, but I am not going to argue, other than to state fact: if you watch, record or use TV in any way you are LEGALLY responsible for paying the TV licence fee.  To not do so is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE as spelt out in the quotes from the TV Licencing web site.

So NO apology!

Yes :y :y

According to the "regulations" as far as we can interpret. ;) ;)  That is because you are using a diggy box to watch the I-Player that is classed as a recorded programme and comes under the TV Licence mandate.
