The bbc, again.

Indeed spiderman. They have these thugs employed to knock on doors, regardless of whether you say you haven't got a TV. Had a chap knock on my door during early COVID. i mean, WTF ? Told him to sling his hook, and his reply as he walked off was, "see you in court".
Threatening people in their homes, when they don't even have a TV. They think they are the police.
Have told them repeatedly, I don't have a TV. Am registered as vulnerable household,.....and still get letters saying I am under investigation. c-units.

I have mentioned this before, I don't own a gun or a fishing road but the licensing authorities don't chase me to ask for proof that I don't shoot or fish.

Why should I have to register with the BBC that I don't own a TV?

Nepotism and Liverpool bias/ pretend working class. Ticks three BBC boxes. I don't think she's a lesbian, disabled, diverse or anything else so that could count against her.

you can add Female.

Reminds me of RTE having a female journalist chairing a panel of 2 rugby players. One female 'rugby player' and one male international. To discuss Ireland vs the All Blacks.

Having said that, anything would be an improvement on Gary Linekar.

I like her. I think she's a very good presenter and a fine looking lady!!

And anything's better than comrade Big Ears!
 
As I don't have Sky I have never seen Daglish's daughter so I have no idea if she is any good.

I will make 1 prediction though. Next season they will have 3 MOTD presenters alternating. It wont last, I give it 1 season. This smacks of the turmoil at the BBC where the new head of sport is in dispute with senior management over who gets the gig so this is the compromise.

Anyway, I predict they will pick a single presenter the season after next when they realise their viewing figures are in the toilet.

I hope your prediction is wrong, anything that causes the bbc pain is fine by me 😀
 
"Facebook has severely restricted the ability of Palestinian news outlets to reach an audience during the Israel-Gaza war, according to BBC research." (BBC website)

Wow, some news from the BBC, that someone else is nearly as selective as them over news coverage. (actually, these are unsubstantiated allegations)
Who'd have thought ?

Watching the Sports Personality programme last night, it appears to be morphing into the BBC version of Loose Women.

The show costs a fortunate for the BBC and is becoming more and more irrelevant.

The BBC has given up on sport due to costs and I actually agree with that.

Can anyone say that the BBC provides excellent coverage for these:

Football (Highlights and FA cup mainly)
Cricket
Horse racing
Rugby
Tennis (apart from Wimbledon)
Athletics (Mainly Olympics)
Boxing (Are you kidding)
Etc Etc.

So what is the point of a show that celebrates UK sport which is either on rival channels or not on TV at all.
 
It you looked at their website this morning there is only one small mention of Waspi women and the looking Labour rebellion.
I wonder why?
BBC - Labour's mouthpiece!

RTE were given 750 million Euro by the irish government. Their 'political' programmes consist or either sucking up to the established Political parties (FF, FG) or a vitriolic hatred of minority parties who they will either savage, ridicule, or ignore.

You left out the one where they planted members of the audience to embarrass renua. Totally corrupt and they can get their licence fee from my cold, dead hands. Well not then even, frankly.
The only way they would get a penny is deducting it from my wages. So I await their eager report on that government measure.

the 750 million , mentioned above, WAS deducted from your wages. Taxpayer money.....separate from the criminal license fee.

RTE, their news programmes always have talking heads from the political , academic, or NGO circles. All to the left or occasionally the centre. All insiders on the payroll.

Around the time of the Potato Famine, Catholic peasants were forced to pay tithes to an Anglican Church they didnt believe in. Paying for a church-service they didnt want to listen to. And today ? BBC/RTE.....the very same.
 
I thought this story, though obviously not typical, gives some indication of the type of person the Licence Collectors employ.:

"POLICE are investigating claims a BBC licence fee enforcement officer knocked down a disabled woman with his car before fleeing the scene.
She claimed the enforcement officer turned up at her home with a letter threatening court action if she watched or streamed TV.
Amanda, who uses a mobility scooter and suffers from arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, said: “He was very aggressive. I refused to accept the letter but he chucked it through my door as I was closing it. He then wouldn’t take it back, so I tossed it outside. He had the cheek to push it through my letterbox, so as he got in his car I walked up to his window to give it back to him.
“I had my hand on his vehicle and he just accelerated, pulling me to the ground. He paused for a second up the road, clearly saw I was injured on the floor, and drove off. It’s disgusting.”" (The Sun online)
