A Baised BBC reader notes;
“There was anextraordinary interview around 6.15am today with the CEO of Rolls Royce Motorswhich has had a record year, doing particularly well in China. “But surely it’s not a good idea to sell such gas guzzlers”,”Yours cars are out of tune with the times” “Of course, you’renot a British company any more” and so on. Carping and sneering all theway. Not “Well done, how many jobs have you created, how much did you earnfor the UK?”. If I’d been the CEO (an very polite German gentleman) I’d have said “Sopresumably you would like us to sod off and move production to Germany”.
Scandalous.
Did the interviewer fly up to Salford to ask that question?
Oh, yeah, we’re going to get lots of mileage from this gag. 😀
People have to start refusing to be interviewed on the bbc. I feel that’s the only visible way to punish them. Didn’t Alex Ferguson, for several years, refuse to be interviewed by them; pity he relented. Every norma person in the public domain should boycott them; and at the least, slap them down every time they utter some asinine communist smear question.
“People have to start refusing to be interviewed on the bbc.”
I have thought that much of the bad feeling re UK these days stems from this sort of shite: I recall in 2002/03 during the Gulf War every American interviewed (especially on R5L) must have gone away thinking “effing Brits” but in reality it was really effing lefty faggot bbc brits.
“Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has seen sales in the Middle East grow by more than 150 per cent during the first three quarters of 2010, in comparison to the same period last year. This achievement follows Rolls-Royce’s announcement that the manufacturer had doubled sales in the region in the first half of the year, its best sales result ever in the Middle East to date.”
That means JOBS, TAXES, and HIGH QUALITY SKILLS:
Congratulations not carping are in order.
PS. Flying to Salford.
This is Rolls Royce’s approach:
“To minimise the impact of our employees travelling to and from work everyday we initiated a green travel plan from day one. Central to this is a lift-sharing database, which enables employees to travel together where possible. By sharing cars for their daily commute Rolls-Royce employees save 1600 miles per day in unnecessary journeys, which equates to a weekly CO2 emissions saving of some 2.8 tonnes.
Those employees who are unable to participate in the lift-sharing scheme are encouraged to use bicycles, motorcycles or take advantage of local public transport.
I trust that the BBC encourages and monitors its ‘talent’ in a similar manner!
Yes but greenie shite doesn’t include the BBC, they consider (like their own turds) that they are special and that normal mortal rules don’t apply ot them.
I heard that too – you’d expect the CEO of Rolls Royce to be a Brit, wouldn’t you? With an upper-class accent, and jolly hockysticks ambience. Not so, he was Teutonic through and through.
Zis was zere finest hour….
When the Brits were running Rolls Royce they were shit, it’s a sad fact of life it takes the Germans or Japanese to sort out our car industry.
the greenie fascists at al beeb have yet to have the penny drop in their thick heads that most of the sales increase being attributed to China,the Chinese couldn’t give a stuff for the eco religous zealots and their carbon cutting buffoonery
and I can’t see anyone telling those guys what to do anytime soon

There was also a revealing moment when they asked whether the success was because the “rich are getting richer”. That’s presumably now a bad thing in itself in the BBC’s book, regardless of whether the poor are getting poorer.
I think they need to have a look at their own fat cat pay scales…..
the BBC-an irony free zone
Are the “rich are getting richer”?
This narrative was the only reason the Leftist agitprop BBC ran so strongly with the item.
The only respectable way to get rich in the eyes of the BBC is to live off the taxpayer. If everyone earning over a 100,000 a year at the BBC was given a Rolls Royce (courtesty of the taxpayer) the BBC carpark would be overflowing.
Harold Wilson used to smoke cigars in private but only a pipe in public. For the same reason Paxman does not arrive at the BBC in a Rolls Royce. He does not want to draw attention to his million pounds a year salary.
Have long given up on the Toadys so-called “business interviews”.
No matter who it is- these public sector pimps of “correspondents” have only two options…to sneer at any company doing well-or to berate any company that seems to be about to get “worse-than expected” results.
All this with these Beeboids( never knowingly ever ran a business, but supported many with origins in Afghanistan or Columbia) seemingly “qualified” to be judge and executuioner.
Typical career-service fodder. The BBC is just the option for the stupid and the well-placed, now that there`s no church left to take up the slackers…unless you count the religion of Legislative Green Statism.
At least they`d have had to have a bit of courage to go into the Army…these spineless tits with tongues are the States Pink Army( at least the the Red Army could sing!…Ed`s Army are shit!)
Roll- Royce are gas guzzlers eh? What about all the beebs taxi bill. What about vicky d and her flights. What about all the greeny scum who went on the junket to south africa.
We cant all sit in pleasant Surrey knitting tofu igloos.
These lefty beeb bastards should be forced to live in the real world.
Rolls Royce improves our balance of trade
RR trains otherwise unemployed youngsters.
RR pays many millions in Taxes.
RR is world class.
RR creates wealth.
The bbc is a drain on taxes
The BBC Has the carbon footprint of a small chinese city
The BBC wastes money ( 300 + to Glasto)
The BBC is world class, a world class waste of money
The BBC leads the world in political indoctrination
The BBC is son of Pravda.
The BBC is nothing more than a parasite
Sorry to post on here but can we have a new board please,
Irony free zone…”because you worth it” as the posh tart on the telly put it.
“BBC staff ran up a massive £14million bill for taxis last year – more than £38,000 a day.
Cash spent on cabs rose by £200,000 on 2007/8 despite The BBC’s pledge to cut costs during the recession.
Director General Mark Thompson and his deputy managed to clock up more than £15,000 for taxis to ferry them and their staff around London.
BBC staff took more than 406,000 taxi journeys in total, booked using its in-house contractor One Transport. The average taxi journey cost more than £31.
Travelcards which allow unlimited journeys on public transport in the city can be bought for as little as £7.20.”
PS Nothing against posh tarts. Honest.
Their sense of self-entitlement is bottomless.
I heard this interview and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
It was pure negativity. It was completely disgraceful and hardly impartial. The CEO was trying to remain positive.
As an engineer (with 3 degrees – yes BBC, engineers don’t just repair photocopiers or change brakes and exhausts) it was embarrassing to listen to. When I hear things such as this I have to ask the question if we are welcome in the BBC’s UK. Perhaps we should just find highly paid jobs in Germany and leave the BBC to revel in its leftwing victimhood and depression.
BBC your news and current affairs unit is a complete joke. Your view on science, engineering and the business associated with them is simplistic nonsense. I am not even sure you are left wing – I think you are just ‘thick’ and ignorant.
Whlie I’m at it, to rub salt in the wound I received a letter today from TV licencing saying I purchased a TV from Comet over Christmas. As I don’t have a licence I was breaking the law and could be fined etc etc. The only thing I bought from Comet 5 years ago was a German washing machine, which like my British produced car (Toyota) that is 18 years old, is still going strong. I’m just going to ignore this threatning letter.
Maybe in this year’s The Apprentice, they’ll get old Sugar to drive around in a Trabant
So what would the BBC like Britain PLC to live on ?
Benefit handouts from the EU?
Ah, the sweet smell of hypocritical ‘good’ travel and ‘bad’ travel in the morning.
HS2 link coverage on our glorious MSM, well, SKY. Folk on train asked if in favour of 30′ shorter travel time: yes. Folk in village 2 be cut in 1/2: no.
O….k. Stunning insights. SKY evidently opting for ratings gold. There will be protests!
The BBC I imagine will opt for ‘balance’, between noble commuters for some reason living in London but needing to go to Brum daily, stopped by nasty country folk living in Billy Braggesque mansions in right-wing heartlands en route, already creating ‘splits in the coaltion’.
These stories write ’emselves really. These days.
I wonder what Mr. Miliband ”will say’? SKY was bad enough reading out his press release (with at least an anti-Brigstocke comedian… told off by the peroxide sink for saying he was a charisma-free zone because ‘looks shouldn’t matter’… check the window Charlotte, you were not chosen for your stunning insights). I imagine the BBC political pre-‘analysis’ will be totally measured.
