Pathetic ad hominem attacks is your level.

Actually that applies in the other direction. You believe in conspiracy theories, that’s a fact, not an ad hominem. BBC not reporting them isn’t ‘misrepresentation’.

Because they got caught doing it.

So if I have this right - your argument here is that the BBC is firmly on the side of misrepresentation, but forces out any senior executives who are seen to be actually doing it?

He’s a lot of things but I really wouldn’t go that far mate.

And no serious attempt to address underlying causes of inflation imo, I think the minimum wage should be increased but it shouldn't be the sole means to improve disposable income. The employer NI rise has just led to further price rises anyway.

The NI increase was an economically illiterate policy. People may have missed this, but Reform floated that policy for foreign workers and this was right (imo) derided as a dumb policy.

So what did this government do? Apply it to the whole workforce. Reeves has been a disaster and the fact she’s now playing the victim card based on her gender shows desperation. She’s been toast since crying in Parliament.

Corporate manslaughter then

His line of ‘let the bodies pile high’ still makes me angry to be fair. I don’t care what the circumstances are, no Prime Minister of this country should be saying that and allowed to stay in the job.

Yes they may have been but the previous chancellor made that equation when he knew he was leaving office,so where should she have got it back from?

Less and less people want to pay for the BBC. I haven't had a TV licence for about 10 years now, I don't watch it or any broadcast TV.

No.

For me I'm not sure, I mean he's an absolute nutter so I don't think an edit was out of place, it emerged yesterday from somewhere that he may have actually suggested using violence somewhere else in his speech or somebody's interpretation of it.
Also never knew you could not pay it as it's for any device that is capable of receiving?

As an example can't imagine there's many people on here who never listen to the CWR commentary. Think there's an under appreciation of just how much the BBC covers. Could very well end up being a case of don't know what you've got till it's gone.

It's not hard, alternatives will come into being to fill any void.
It is very easy with today's technology to provide an inexpensive service.

I think your imagination needs recharging.

I mean we know that's not true. Look at the likes of the CET, look at what's happened to local independent radio.

I assume the commentary is available as it’s agreed with the FL. It used to be covered by commercial radio
