Zoe ball - your havin a larf

[toby1]

So last year Ms Ball was on £300k+ salary.

This year she has had a pay rise of £1M taking her to £1.3M+ just for being an annoying squeaky talentless bimbo for a couple of hours in the morning.

What a fuckup of licence payers money..........

[Ste]

Yeah but Gary has had a 25% cut.

So now he's just a CUN.

The 'talent' pay is a drop in the ocean for the BBC. It's hardly a high proportion of their costs. If they can negotiate that level of pay? Good for them. If the BBC think it's worth spending the money to get that talent and that talent will draw in the listeners and viewers to justify the money then great.

It's not like a commercial channel where you don't have to justify it so much, there is so much governance and analysis involved it's unreal. The pearl clutching by the press is pretty much just an Anti BBC stance, and it's actually rather sad.

The BBC does provide a service that commercial channels cannot but I'm sure I'll have plenty of people coming out of the woodwork to tell me I'm wrong so I'll leave it there.

So then, they're likely to turn up at the door? As long as you're polite they turn up once and never come back?

Mrs Arry would definitely spew her guts

So it's fair to say their 'detection methods' are utter horseshit then?

Just researching all this stuff has led me to an article that says women are 70% odd percent of the people convicted and that's well sexist mate Yeah, sexist that they're sat on their arse watching daytime TV whilst the bloke's out working

[weasley]

You all seem to have overlooked Zoe's role in Strictly - It Takes Two. Y'didn't see Ego Evans on that now, did you?

I know that their detection methods are technologically possible. I also know that they wouldn't be cost effective in any sort of bulk use. The sort to reserve for a tricky court case where you want to make an example.

Radio 2 is for cunts anyway.
Like the fuckin Daily Mail
Only with music.

They've turned up here a few times, put a bit of paper through the door saying "we called today to help you start watching tv legally blah blah blah but you were out" and one of the times I was quick enough to catch the person who delivered it.

Turned out that whatever company it is that get paid to go around reading peoples electric and gas meters are also paid to deliver those letters.

IMO if Capita (the goons who the BBC pay to enforce tv license rules / threaten little old ladies) have reason to bother turning up at your door then you must have got into some type of conversation with them already by phone or by filling stuff in one their website. Do not get into any conversation or communicate with them in anyway. Let them use their limited resources against other people. If for some reason their goons show up on your doorstep then all you need to do is politely close the door, much the same as you would with any other door to door sales person trying to flog crap that you neither want nor need.

This thread is great.

I love the BBC and I hate the BBC.

The list of their ground-breaking shows is vast in the Radio side of things alone.

Their 'news' mediums have always been lacking in conviction and often credibility, albeit marginally better than many others.

If community is still a thing then 'they' contribute and support it even if it has little to zero value for 95% of the punters. I like that...I have a soft-spot for niche.

The negatives range from nitpicking about their _____off shows and the amount of vacuous content used as general bland fodder for cattle.

Then Bam! they'll drop a superb series that gets emulated the world over and more often the case propels some show-off to cocaine oblivion in 5 years. BRILLIANT! Then the 'How I beat Coke and Whores' by That smarmy bloke follow-up special....at bleedin' Christmas which won't be worth having on.anyway.

I suspect I'm one of the few who still sees a value in a crumbling corporation.

The best way the BBC could deal with losses in Radio 2 listeners is bring back Wogan.

Oh wait, they can't.

[Rebel]

I haven't funded these wretches for decades and avoid their misrepresentative broadcasts also.
Licence tax payments are down by 250k this year. That's £58m less in their pockets.
Meanwhile, on the day it's announced 695,000 people lose their jobs, this was tax dodging Gary's comment for the elderly poor who will be harassed and threatened with a criminal conviction so the BBC can pay him £1.35 million p.a. to waffle for 90 minutes a week about a ball game.
