dune Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Cameron condemns the whingeing BBC: It's the British Broadcasting Cuts Corporation David Cameron has hit out at the BBC for whingeing about his Government’s cuts. The Prime Minister blasted the ‘British Broadcasting Cuts Corporation’ for publicising every reduction in spending without properly explaining why efficiencies were necessary. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1360786/David-Cameron-brands-BBC--British-Broadcasting-Cuts-Corporation.html#ixzz1F4MI1JTt It's good to see that Chris Patten has been nominated as the governments choice for chairman.

OldNick Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 just how many journalists do we need to cover some of the stories. Radio 2 had their presenters in Egypt the other day to report on the goings on!!! We had Top of the Pops taken lock stock and barrel out to some sporting event a few years back, what relevance that had lord knows. Too much money in old practices, BA mark 2
Deppo Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I knew was only a matter of time before dune started on Rastamouse.
Verbal Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Politican unhappy with BBC. What a surprise.
Saintandy666 Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'd be more upset if Cameron was happy with the BBC. He shouldn't be happy with them and I hope he doesn't start interfering. I always find the BBC to explain every side of the argument and all this bias ****e is bull****.
dune Posted 26 February, 2011 Author Posted 26 February, 2011 The BBC do not present the gravity of the situation Labour left the country in which means drastic cuts are necessary and should be welcomed.
Saintandy666 Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 The BBC do not present the gravity of the situation Labour left the country in which means drastic cuts are necessary and should be welcomed. Yes, they do. They present that political argument and then they present Labours political argument. They can't just put across the government line.
SuperMikey Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 The BBC do not present the gravity of the situation Labour left the country in which means drastic cuts are necessary and should be welcomed. Yeah, i'm sure the 400,000 public sector workers who are going to be laid off are chuffed about the cuts.
dune Posted 26 February, 2011 Author Posted 26 February, 2011 Yeah, i'm sure the 400,000 public sector workers who are going to be laid off are chuffed about the cuts. It's unlucky for them, but it has to be done. Labour left us with a £155 billion deficit.
Saintandy666 Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 It's unlucky for them, but it has to be done. Labour left us with a £155 billion deficit. I'd say it was more a mixture of Labour, the Banks and a Global Financial Crisis rather than just Labour that caused the deficit.
SuperMikey Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 It's unlucky for them, but it has to be done. Labour left us with a £155 billion deficit. Does it have to be done though? There are other ways of shrinking a deficit without cuts on this scale.
dune Posted 26 February, 2011 Author Posted 26 February, 2011 Does it have to be done though? There are other ways of shrinking a deficit without cuts on this scale. Hiking taxes is the Socialist way, but it stifles growth.
SuperMikey Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 And by the way, you might think it's funny to have Gaddaffi as your avatar, but i'm fairly sure the families of the 300-odd protesters killed in Libya (and the countless others who have been ordered killed by his regime) and the victims of the Lockerbie bombings wouldn't find it so funny.

I support Gadaffi over the al queada supported alternative.
SuperMikey Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I support Gadaffi over the al queada supported alternative. I don't support either of them.
Saintandy666 Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 (edited) I support Gadaffi over the al queada supported alternative. These revolutions have nothing to do with al-Qaeda. It's about poor people without jobs or money or food fed up with leaders running countries like their own personal bank siphoning off all the countries money for themselves while they have no freedom. They want democracy and freedom. Edited 26 February, 2011 by Saintandy666

Saintandy666 Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'm not prepared to argue the toss with a couple of teenagers. Well, you've clearly won this argument then...
SuperMikey Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'm not prepared to argue the toss with a couple of teenagers. That's the spirit.
Verbal Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'm not prepared to argue the toss with a couple of teenagers. No one assumed you were able to argue anything. Your self-induced hysteria about al Qaeda is not worthy of discussion. Which I thought was about the BBC not being an extension of the Tory Party propaganda unit.
Deppo Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'm unable to successfully argue the toss with a couple of teenagers without being made to look stupid. Fixed.
scotty Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'd be more upset if Cameron was happy with the BBC. He shouldn't be happy with them and I hope he doesn't start interfering. I always find the BBC to explain every side of the argument and all this bias ****e is bull****. this. No politician in a position of power should ever be happy with the BBC, end of. If the day ever comes when they are, I'll be worried.
dune Posted 26 February, 2011 Author Posted 26 February, 2011 this. No politician in a position of power should ever be happy with the BBC, end of. If the day ever comes when they are, I'll be worried. Well your lefty types have no reason to complain as the BBC is biased in their favour. The BBC even spend 85% of their recruitment budget in that awful newspaper the Guardian. The BBC has been allowed to push it's leftwing agenda for too long. Personally i'd like to see it privatised.
Deppo Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 He's now prepared to argue the toss with a couple of teenagers.
Jonnyboy Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Hiking taxes is the Socialist way, but it stifles growth. duh! VAT Rise

dune Posted 26 February, 2011 Author Posted 26 February, 2011 duh! VAT Rise No council tax rise though. Under the Socialists councils would've hiked council tax to keep people in their made up jobs.
Matthew Le God Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Every post of Dune's that I read makes me slightly more left wing than I was before.
Saintandy666 Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 much like our own country As much as I dislike Cameron, I don't think he is corrupt in that he uses our countries resources to finance himself.
Saint_clark Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I'd say it was more a mixture of Labour, the Banks and a Global Financial Crisis rather than just Labour that caused the deficit. No no no, Labour spent all that money on sweeties, I saw them.
Berkshire Saint Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Some of the comments on that link are utterly comical. Nutters.
Seaford Saint Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Still cant make up my mind about Dune.....is he as thick as ****? I don't think so. Is he sincere in what he says, I don't know.
aintforever Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I reckon Dune is actually out of work, on benefits, and has his broadband & laptop provided by the state. He creates this retarded right wing character as a form of escapism.
pedg Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 The BBC even spend 85% of their recruitment budget in that awful newspaper the Guardian. The guardian has a media jobs section, none of the other major papers do. Sky advertise jobs in the guardian as well, does that make them left wing now as well??
LGTL Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 I reckon Dune is actually out of work, on benefits, and has his broadband & laptop provided by the state. He creates this retarded right wing character as a form of escapism. This. In these tough times, i'd be surprised to find somebody with a HND in any sort of decent work...

suewhistle Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Some of the comments on this thread have made me cackle with laughter. I actually feel sorry for Dune, but then, as I am a leftie I always have a soft spot for the disadvantaged.
Jonnyboy Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 As much as I dislike Cameron, I don't think he is corrupt in that he uses our countries resources to finance himself. wait til he's out of office and takes up a cushy company advisor role - a made up job if ever i heard one.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 It's good to see that Chris Patten has been nominated as the governments choice for chairman. Hopefully he'll sort things out and put the jumped up lefties in their place. Chris Patten is a jumped up leftie himself, he's about as much of a Tory as New Labour. My opinion is that in 2011, we should not be paying a poll tax to fund a national TV station.If people want to watch the BBC they should subscribe to it, if like Dune they think it's full of Lefties , then dont. At the moment I can be thrown in jail even if I never watch a single minute of a single broadcast. The BBC run adverts for their programmes, chase viewing figures, mirror events that other broadcasters are covering, pay presenters massive salaries and generaly act like a commercial station, yet the man on the minimum wage pays the same for it as Wayne Rooney, whether he wants to watch it or not.

I'm in partial agreement with you, i don't think Dune is right wing at all, i reckon he is a leftie but has created this Right wing persona to make right wingers appear stupid.

Deppo Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 I think that the BBC is excellent. We are very lucky to have it and would certainly miss it if it were gone.
bridge too far Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 ...........

What say you about ITV then? The same arguments apply.
Verbal Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 Agree with this Then act on it. Don't pay your licence fee.

Having the BBC is good for the country. In the same way some of you royalists think haveing the Queen is good for the country. It means some of you who buy the Sun and believe everything it says have access to and are exposed to a slighlty more intelligent level of reporting a media content. edit- oh and also if you are going to go left wing on us then yes id agree, the poor should be exempt from paying. Edited 27 February, 2011 by Jonnyboy
dronskisaint Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 Hiking taxes is the Socialist way, but it stifles growth. Getting the banks, (who are infinitely more culpable than any administration for the WORLDWIDE recession) corporations to pay the correct rate of tax in the country in which they operate would wipe out most of this deficit at a stroke. This won't happen as they are the Tory party's main source of funding so are immune...the BBC however might just point this out to the electorate and are susceptible to cuts in government funding so thereby are a likely target. I can't believe that anyone can be so economically & politically naive enough to believe that the UK government could cause this global situation on their own ...can they?
badgerx16 Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 No council tax rise though. Under the Socialists councils would've hiked council tax to keep people in their made up jobs. Every time you comment on Local Government you expose your total lack of understanding on the subject - like most other subjects for which you attempt to display some level of knowledge.
