O/T:- Defund the bbc.

[forwardmagpie]

You n me both, Dave. Some of the sad punters on here simply do not realise the incredible value of the Beeb. And because many of them have only ventured outside the UK for the occasional holiday, they do not appreciate the respect worldwide for the BBC as an institution. Yes, it has faults and amongst them for me is a quite ridiculous obsession with royalty and cooking. However, as with the main team I support, I long ago learned to take the rough with the smooth.

Still pompous then Sid - keep up the good work.

...If we followed your leftie way, all of society would end, as it always has. Societal suicide.

I must have missed the memo but when did it end...

...and why are we all still here?

I have worked with people from all over the world and the impression I get from them about the BBC is certainly not respect. It was when I first worked abroad but now it is nothing but disdain.

Ah, welcome back to our slightly left of centre poster who by a strange coincidence only seems to agree with anything on the right!

Have you recovered from your indignation about that vile racist term 'gammon' yet Mr WooWar?

The dictionary definition of poor (which most people use) is actually:

Poor
adjective
Lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society.

I much prefer the Jarvis Cocker definition, a definite for my top ten best songs ever released:

Good song but top ten best songs ever released? - you need to get out more Elite.

You seemed to miss the bit where I said MY top ten songs ever released.

Keep blaming the Tories chuck.

You've declined to comment on the Tories handling of Covid-19 Roger, so is there any chance you could offer an opinion on Boris Johnson saying the fiasco over GCSE and A-level results is down to a "mutant algorithm" rather than government incompetence?

ps In case you've forgot, you're supposed to be trolling us rather than the other way around.

Didn’t miss it and if it’s in YOUR top 10 ever released you still need to get out more.

Once again you're in direct contradiction of your username, old bean.
