Make BBC chiefs pay for deceit over Diana
IDON’T have much time for the BBC.Their broadcasting is nowhere near as good or entertaining as us in the commercial sector. But then they don’t have to try very hard because we all have to pay them a huge amount in an unnecessary tax every year. I have stories I’m saving up about incidents in the BBC and how they treat some of their staff, how they mismanage and mishandle most situations, that would make your hair curl.
Will you feel sorry for news reader Huw Edwards who is now only earning over £529,000 a year for doing what must be one of the easiest of jobs in broadcasting, namely reading a script? You could almost get a robot to do it. And why they moan about their salaries when they get paid far more than those in the commercial sector, I have no idea.
Now, to make amends for Martin Bashir’s deceit over the Princess Diana interview, they have agreed to pay £1.5million to a charity supported by the Royal Family. I agree that they should pay up.What I don’t agree with is it coming out of our tax, the ridiculous licence fee.
Why should we pay for their incompetence? Let’s make those very highly paid smug idiots who were in charge pay. That might actually make them take notice.
It is time to defund the BBC. Leave them with the news.That’s all a national broadcaster needs: the rest the commercial sector can take over. There is no place for them any more
in this modern age of technology.
HERE’S something I think we should all be happy about, unless of course you happened to be one of the boring, dull and usually very miserable republicans, of the type I’ve spoken to on the radio.
It is exceedingly lovely to see our Queen smiling and looking so happy. After all she’s had to go through this last year, she must be the most positive person in the country. And at the age of 95 there can be very few people as willing to show leadership as she is.
Even as stories about her continue to emerge from people who have no access to her, so are just spreading tittle-tattle, she still smiles for the camera and looks relaxed. Aren’t we lucky in this country to have the monarchy? We may not like them all and we may disagree with some, but Her Majesty the Queen has made us look better to the rest of the world than any of our politicians ever could.
PRITI PATEL wants a
crackdown, if you’ll excuse the pun, on middle-class drugtaking. It won’t work.
Instead we should legalise drugs. Once you start making things illegal it becomes exciting.
If drugs were legal, users would not think that taking them was quite so clever or right on as they do now.
And maybe those who are addicted wouldn’t be so embarrassed to get help.
I personally won’t be using narcotics, but if people want to take the risk of damaging themselves then, as with cigarettes, they should be paying taxes for the pleasure. And let’s face it, if the middle classes were forced to pay for legal drugs we would be making money out of them for the country.
I’m against prohibition – including prohibiting smokers from smoking indoors. The rest of us have to watch the cigarette junkies shivering while getting their nicotine fix outside.
I quite like a pint outside, or even a glass of wine, and I’d rather enjoy it without being smoked over. Let’s get rid of prohibition and maybe that will keep a lot of us even healthier than we are.
INCEL ideology. Have you ever heard of it? No, nor had I. But then, I had never heard of paedophilia until I interviewed somebody many years ago from the Paedophile Information Exchange, a pro-paedophile lobby group. We all knew where that would lead and the publicity the media gave them made us realise how disgusting and vile these people were.
Most of us will now be aware that incels are a group who hate women, and blame them for the fact some men are involuntarily celibate.
Some politicians are saying now they should be treated as terrorists after five people were shot dead in Plymouth. I agree wholeheartedly.
They need rounding up and locking up. Apparently they exist on social media, so surely they could be caught. Get their names out there so everybody knows how disgusting and evil these guys are.
