Interesting timing you might think as the BBC announced the loss of TGBBO to C4 due to its lack of money…just before the government announced its Charter renewal white paper…never mind that Bake Off generates millions and is licensed to many countries around the world for which the BBC gets a cut.
The negotiations went on for a year or so and yet the BBC managed to time the announcement just by coincidence at that time.
Just more stage-managed BBC propaganda designed to whip up anger at the government and create the impression that the BBC is under attack and about to crumble due to lack of resources.
Just the bed-wetters punishing the Proles for questioning their funding again. They did it last year with Formula 1 – “how dare the stinking peasants interfere with our use of their money! they will suffer as a consequence, we’ll cut the programmes they enjoy – that’ll teach them for rattling our doors, bigots the lot of them”
And we will punish them by using the money to make a 3hr Citizen Khan Christmas Special.
Don’t you mean a Winterval special?
I think the Ayatollah Khomeini once said there is no laughter in islam, and Citizen Khan certainly seems to prove him right on that one.
