Well I have googled for 'Holby City anti-brexit' but can only find references to it on those anti-BBC loon sites.

I don't care whether it's impartial or not, as long as it's funny and as has an element of truth.

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.

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 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. 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.
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.

Knowing something about how large IT projects are developed, I can't think of a more ridiculous explanation for why they often fail.

Oh, I understood all the words. It was the order in which you arranged them that proved an insurmountable barrier.
Knowing something about how large IT projects are developed, I can't think of a more ridiculous explanation for why they often fail. 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. |

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.
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. |

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

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. |

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.

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.

Another BBC thread going around in circles based on a link that isn't even being discussed anymore. Thread closed.
