Time for the BBC to go?

Nice report, caught the last 5 minutes of the debate on the BBC.

Some very interesting points were raised. The question now is: - Will they be looked at & will any reforms that will be necessary, be implemented?
____________

I would say that the answer is yes. Billions of people all over the world watch and listen to the BBC via its world service broadcasts, and it plays a vital part in reporting current affairs. Like all cosy institutions they got complacent, and that lack of attention has bitten them big time. I think that the BBC is too important to be allowed to be dismantled or broken up, and I think that it will be re-built from the top down, it has to be.

Parliament and the public will accept nothing less.

Let's hope so. So the thread title is correct after all: -

The BBC as it currently stands has to go!

I'm gonna start a new thread on soaps, they deserve some flak!

Is that a fact? Then please explain why you're not scolding a very dear freind of yours who has been residing in the US for 1/2/3 decades & showing a German flag? No faith in America prehaps? If so, why reside there?

Ah, better $$$$$$$$$.

Pot Kettle & Black springs to mind!

The flag I choose has nothing to do with where I live and you know better Sirius.

Hotting up nicely....

Getting worried

Yeah,Yeah, give it to him, I'm missing Strictly Come Dancing!

Checks & Balances, but a bit late in the day

Oh dear, who's gonna be next?

It is accepted custom and practice on the Seti boards, that if posters wish to display a national flag on their avatar, then is is either their country of birth, or if they prefer, the country where they have spent the majority of their life living in.

The Lady in question is indeed a dear friend of mine, and had I thought for one moment, that she would be unable to give a robust response, I would have replied myself. I am gratified to note that my initial view of the situation has been proved correct.

In polite society, it is good manners, and accepted Gentlemanly behaviour, to not insult Lady colleagues, of which there are far too few around here. You have failed on both accounts. I would therefore request that you modify the tenor of the remarks in your future posts, which at present are incurring my distinct displeasure.

How about getting back to the thread please, whilst I don't post much I do read the posts and squabbling does not make for interesting reading :-0

A question.

How much of this do you think applies here

____________

none.

Edit: - surf the forum & you'll find nothing I've stated is libelious, but fact.
____________

Even though this is a public forum, for all to see.

So if for instance someone on these boards named someone as a criminal or pedophile and someone else tweeted this accusation and quoted these boards and the "name" of the poster all would be fine?

PS I meant ON THESE FORUMS, crikey getting jumpy I was not having a go at anyone

Apologies Bernie. I've been getting pm's which totally contradict whats been posted on the forum....

...with what all else that's been posted,is worrying, are we going to see the same issues all over again?
