Perhaps the ΒιΆΉΙη staff who are complaining about proposals to put adverts on the ΒιΆΉΙη site (international only I understand) would be happy to take a pay cut instead?
They should realise that a large proportion of the public objects to the license fee and is annoyed that what WE have to pay for is given away to the world.
"...Western Isles as "nowheresville.""
ΒιΆΉΙη doesn't care who it offends even if it does it without apparant purpose. The reason, it just wants to prove that it can whenever it likes and do it with impunity. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Nobody in the English speaking media has more power than ΒιΆΉΙη. In Britain, it has a near monopoly on electronic media. It doesn't get more corrupt or more subtle about how it does it anywhere else. If the people of "nowheresville" had a real choice, they'd tune their TVs and radios elsewhere for the news.
I voted on the road pricing u gov site and am still awaiting my reply as promised by Tony Blair how many others have not recieved there replies, this could be a good news item maybe we were all lied to and no emails at all have been sent.
