I still have hope for the manifesto, but recent desires to tie to current spending really aren't helping me keep that optimism.

Although that may well.be enough tbf.

It will be enough for him, my worry is it won't be enough for the rest of us.
I think he's preparing the way for what happens after he wins the general election and every one says "what's changing then?" and he says "well nothing actually"I still have hope for the manifesto, but recent desires to tie to current spending really aren't helping me keep that optimism.
Trouble is the stuff coming out of his mouth recently has been more "I am them"Might help if he had the odd policy other than "I'm not them"

You watched a Gregg Wallace vehicle?!!Channel 4 should have its funding withdrawn after that human meat bollocks programme
What funding?Channel 4 should have its funding withdrawn after that human meat bollocks programme
What funding?
You watched a Gregg Wallace vehicle?!!
Selling the water and the oil and the council houses went well.Well ok the government should sell channel 4 which would yield £1 billion to pay on worthwhile projects
Are you Nadine Dorries?Channel 4 should have its funding withdrawn after that human meat bollocks programme
Are you Nadine Dorries?
The silly thing is it has no debt, it costs the taxpayers zilch in funding and the way it funds program making is unique to the industry. Compare it to Netflix who’s massively in debt and its share price is tumbling. There is zero logic in selling it off, which is probably why Boris and Nads thought it a good idea. This government would only waste the money anyway.Are you Nadine Dorries?
Not sure what programme you are talking about.What did you think of the programme?
Selling the water and the oil and the council houses went well.
Yeah, sell more publicly owned assets.
Yawn.
Are you Nadine Dorries?
"Channel 4 makes up to £2 billion for the economy each year. In 2021, Channel 4's revenues hit £1 billion, a 19% growth from 2020. It reported a £74 million pre-tax surplus and net cash reserves of £201 million."
That's from Google. Can someone with better financial understanding than me, explain how a company that only turns over £1bn per annum with pre-tax profits of £74m, makes £2bn per annum for the Economy?
Company A has big project
Enlists Companies B, C, D… to do work on project. All of these add to GDP.
Which would occur whoever owns it

The only response to that should have beenThis exchange is almost identical to this one

Well it isn't it was a glib comment to a programme no one it seems watchedThis exchange is almost identical to this one
Because it will spend a significant amount buying goods and services obviously"Channel 4 makes up to £2 billion for the economy each year. In 2021, Channel 4's revenues hit £1 billion, a 19% growth from 2020. It reported a £74 million pre-tax surplus and net cash reserves of £201 million."

I hadn't considered it so it wasn't obvious or I wouldn't have asked. I forgot we're all experts on everything so nobody should ever ask a question as the entire forum knows the answer to everything on every subject.Because it will spend a significant amount buying goods and services obviously

Culturally it's the government's role, remove the profit motive so we get original innovative content, some of which will work and some bomb.Correct Netflix carries a lot of debt but after a big drop in share price it’s been climbing for past 12 months. Not sure comparing the two is wise, Netflix has 250m paying subscribers worldwide and I think makes 12bn a year. C4 has a declining viewership and just about breaks even. View attachment 30864
I’ve got no big issue with C4 remaining under public ownership as it makes a little bit of money so isn’t a burden currently but I suppose the question is whether it’s really a governments role to own tv channels..unless you live in Russia I guess ? Also then whether it will remain profitable. The TV worlds changing rapidly and if we can get £1bn for it now, it might not be a bad shout
