OH THE AUSTERITY…

Seen this? Pay packets of highest paid stars are up by a fifth and the workforce hits 18,900 – but BBC bosses still insist they’re saving money! The BBC now employs at least 74 bosses who earn more than David Cameron’s salary of £142,500. The total wage bill for presenters on more than £1 million rose a fifth to £5.1 million. Those on more than £1million a year included Graham Norton, … Continue reading

THAT IRANIAN DEAL…

I bet Israel was DELIGHTED by this news from our strictly impartial National Broadcaster….Honest Reporting has the details “With the announcement of the Iranian nuclear deal, there’s plenty of media coverage including Israel’s reaction. BBC Newshour on BBC World Service radio interviewed Israel’s Minister of Science, Technology and Space, Danny Danon. Danon stated that Israel was “keeping all options on the table.” The presenter asked Danon to explain.

ANY COLOUR YOU WANT SO LONG AS BLACK

I took part in a debate on BBC5 live today regard the future of the BBC. One of my opponents was the rather plummy voiced Sir Christopher Bland.
