Sky have donated £5, 000, 000 towards it's construction. Is this the correct use of their profits? There are customers up and down the country that are paying for that may never see it!

So that's what they waste subscribers money on.
How much is the whole thing costing if £5 million is just a 'contribution' :eek:
It's still public money, just raised by subscription.
I was under the impression Sky Subscription was voluntary. How they spend their profits is up to them. I shop at ASDA, if they want to donate a million to a charity I won't kick up a fuss because it is up to them. It is their money.
Where did you see the £5m story ? All the ones I saw say "undisclosed amount"
ITV is also publically funded, Chris Dunkley wrote about it in 1971 when ITV wanted a second channel.
Pretending it's not money from the public does not make it so.
So we have two sets of human beings in the UK those who pay for a service from a company are private individuals but those who don't pay aren't private individuals.

To many pork pies?
But that is not the definition of “public money”.
See Collins Dictionary definition of “public money”:

What does Collin know?
They should either cut subscription costs or invest that in better TV as I believe in better.
Sky revenue was £11bn. This donation is loose change
Are you offering to direct me somewhere?
I guess the brains that Sky wanted to hurt are ITV's.
Isn't the bridge just outside Kent House? Perhaps a sky logo or two may be visible in the camera feds and studio windows used for ITV shows?
Trebles and quadruples in the Coach&Horses I say.
I expect most, if not all UK plc's make donations to charities.
I thought you only believed in BBC?
The billionaire owner of the tarnished Murdoch group could pay for the whole bridge as loose change. A group that made lots of money by hacking people's phones. News of the World had illegally accessed voice mails and bribed law enforcement officers. Though this practice had been investigated previously, new information about phone hacking victims intensified the response. Some do, but the subscribers are paying, Sky high prices , still going up, and abiding its position, bet all subscribers would like a reduction in costs.
Why do you say that? Nothing on this thread? That's rather off topic isn't it? Can't we stay to the thread purpose rather than you try to make it personal.
You're not one, so why are you bothered?
I expect the company you get your internet service from makes charitable donations, and they charge sky high prices that keep going up (darn sight more than I'm paying Sky I expect).
