The BBC loves a statistic . On Twitter a bbc employee crowed that on average 438 million non UK people visit BBC News each week . And the instant response ? But they don’t have to pay for the monster ….if they want it – let them pay for it – don’t make the british taxpayer fund it through threats and prosecution .

And – of the 1495 people employed by The Guardian – the BBC in print 180 are to be fired .
Experts tell me you always do a live interview & decline recorded on the BBC cos they will often do a malicious edit.

‘Protected tweets’ is a new one to me.
Looks like she Protected her Twitter account shortly after I went to bed
She’s from The Conservative Woman, been booked by Nolan Show on R5 to speak live
then at the last moment they changed it to prerecorded
which is a bad thing cos you don’t want the BBC to do a malicious edit.
OK I got it, Nolan wanted to cover the US riots live so her item was delayed .. that makes sense.
So it was the last 15 mins of the show She was on near 1am 2h43m into the prog
The debate why UK aid is still being given to China
.. and only just given up giving aid to India
Nolan expresses that bad guys will end up with some UK aid money.
She asks why the money isn’t diverted to UK veterans etc.
The Lefty speaker Nick Dearden from Global Justice Now said the UK could afford to do both.
..Em that is wrong.. The UK government money is actually BORROWED cos tax doesn’t cover its spending.

It’s no use saying borrowed money costs us little as he did
cos it actually pushes our exchange rate down and makes imports more expensive.
He denied aid money ends up with Palestinian fighters.
