pinfireman Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 As the BBC licence fee row drags on, it has today been revealed that the BBC is recruiting a crack team to make ‘personal visits’ demanding of those aged over 75 to see their licence fee papers and force those without to hand over what little cash they have to continue using their televisions. The BBC’s corporate director of policy has claimed this new team of intimidating enforcers will be separate from the BBC’s ‘enquiry officers’ who are currently responsible for forcing people to cash up for the company’s deeply unpopular tax. This new team reminds Guido of another group who used mass intimidation of without fear of repercussion… Not all of today’s licence fee row news is this difficult to stomach however, as it seems BBC officials are starting to listen to Guido’s advice. Today the BBC Director-General announced the company could become an opt-in subscription service like Netflix from 2027—a decision Guido recommended the beeb should take 6 months ago. If only the BBC had switched from its outdated funding model, as Guido advised, the need for an OAP license fee ‘Gestapo’ would be avoided in the first place… Source: GUIDO FAWKES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Who, seriously, would pay for BBC output if it went down the netflix model of funding? It's seriously **** with the odd *gem. The in-house producers are hopeless, woeful and the majority of any content you see of any merit is already *produced by small, external production companies whose margins are squeezed until they squeak. £1 million plus for Lineker to do half an hour of sport a week (just one example of the networks nepotism), really? No one else could do the same job, as well if not better, for a fraction of the cost? It's dire and should just **** off.

Diver One Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Harking back to the presenters extortionate fees...I discovered last week that it doesn't cover any fees for progs made by BBC Studios ( Salford)...they are undisclosed . Only fees from 'BBC' were released another con trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent but maybe a bit kind in your description, It's just appalling in content and attitude producing the cheapest tat possible relating to cooking and houses?

KFC Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Still, at least our trusted and hardworking tax-payer funded MP's can claim their TV licence as part of their expenses which are equivalent to a second wage whilst they carry on working at all their other well paid jobs earning as much as they like, so that's alright then🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
