Well I have googled for 'Holby City anti-brexit' but can only find references to it on those anti-BBC loon sites.
I said I-player, if you just google it you might have switch off your touchy feely woollie liberal filter.

I don't care whether it's impartial or not, as long as it's funny and as has an element of truth.
So basically as long as it suits/matches your views then,

No, they should be stopped by the government. Any satire targeting either UKIP or Trump should be made illegal and the perpetrators imprisoned or deported if they look foreign.



Meanwhile, in the next episode of Blue Peter, Val Singleton will show you how to make a tin-foil hat to stop the voices in your head.
What is it with you lot and banning things? Since when has impartiality equated to banning stuff?
But hang on, this is from the same people/mindset who wanted to ban Donald Trump from the UK.

I understand that. I'm asking if it's the same.

Also, whilst it may be true that you don't literally HAVE to pay, have you ever experienced what happens if you don't own a TV? To be fair, the people that come and check are really nice, but it seems to work under the assumption that you're lying and I've found it quite stressful to get in touch them to let them know. An older guy I know without a telly has had a quite unpleasant experience of it.
I've heard good and bad experiences

I can verify the existence of loony websites just by visiting them. Which I did. The idea of there being a Common Purpose conspiracy is thus most definitely a "theory". And since your post seemed to use "CP" rather excessively, I naturally assumed you were an adherent of that "theory".

As for the rest of your post, I have no idea what you are rambling on about.
Oh. Dear. God.

Do you have any idea that you don't know what I'm talking about because you haven't read and/or understood the words?

If you had been able to put in those seconds of effort, you may have noticed that the examples I'm giving are from real-life people and events, not a bloody "theory". It is of particular interest right now, as I'm trying to work out if there is a way of stopping them bleeding out our money and assets to their friends as I think we could go under in such a serious way that it doesn't bear thinking about. In my 'fun time', I have a look at how what's going on here relates to other areas, and that is where the keywords come in and the questions:

How would someone who didn't have a clue who Mishcon de Reya were know what to expect from their site?

Is Alan Yentob a big advocate of their philosophies?

What implications does this have for the BBC i.e. action re. Camila Batmanghelidjh?

In the case of the IT project (cost millions and wasn't used or something?), is there a correlation with CP training and out-of-control budgets?

So it's your perception rather than fact? Did other news outlets continue with the stories?
Yes they did. It wasn't just my perception, so many people I know commented how the news on the BBC (TV) regarding the incoming migrants almost totally dried up.

This fallacy again?

You DON'T have to, and you know you don't
Maybe I've missed a trick but if I want to keep my TV then, yes, I do have to. If I didn't then everyone like me who despise the BBC would stop paying the license fee and watch other things. Doesn't work that way though does it!?

Don't understand how anyone can actually "despise" the BBC. It's quite an extreme reaction.

It's annoying how much they pester you when you don't have a TV. It's really none of their business.

Oh, I understood all the words. It was the order in which you arranged them that proved an insurmountable barrier.

In the case of the IT project (cost millions and wasn't used or something?), is there a correlation with CP training and out-of-control budgets?
Knowing something about how large IT projects are developed, I can't think of a more ridiculous explanation for why they often fail.

That's funny. It doesn't seem to be the order that's the problem here, but the fact you've omitted stuff to avoid responding to it. Yet again.

Do you honestly think that pointing out that there can be reasons for IT projects failing other than CP training is going to cut it? Really? Oh, fank you, kind sir... If it weren't for the loiks of you pointing it aht for me, ah'd just be sitting here in me own wee, going, 'That guy what wrote The Mythical Man-Month's a bleedin' liar. Ah knows what's really goin' on.'


Why did you avoid the other questions? Is it because you can't answer or because you don't understand the significance, in much the same way as you've missed the point about the IT question.

If you knew your IT argument was fatuous, why did you bother making it?

Your CP "theory" isn't going at all well, is it? And affecting what you presumably imagine to be working-class dialect isn't going to make it any more persuasive.

I think this is an incredibly naive view. It is a tv license, not a BBC license. If the BBC disappeared tomorrow you would still need to pay for a tv license, there is no way the government would abolish it.

As for dispising the BBC, now can that be possible with such a wide variety of product provided.

The IT question is related to the other questions. As you don't understand the other questions, and haven't worked out that you could look back at a post you actually quoted, this is, apparently, lost on you. For the same reason, that's probably why you keep referring to this "theory", which seems to be some sort of stock response (has this worked for you in the past and now you just don't know any better), while I'm talking about things that actually happened and how that might relate to other things.

I can see why you might know a lot about IT projects that have failed and, no, I don't think that's got anything to do with Common Purpose.

Semantics. If I signed a contract stating I will never use BBC services, I would not have to pay the licence fee. The trouble is, that option isn't offered. If I want Netflix, Amazon Video, Sky Sports etc then I subscribe. But just because I bought a TV I HAVE to subscribe to the BBC? Ridiculous.

Only if you watch live broadcast tv (or BBC catch up services) do you need a tv license.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...ers-bbc-idiots
"Asked by the interviewer Celia Walden for her opinion on the BBC's new northern base in Salford, Saunders added: "It's very weird and slightly soulless, but it's not greatly built. Do stop me because I could go on for hours about this. I have been left in rooms doing this rant."
In other words it's too far away from luvvie London darling.
