As th...I've had the telly tax demand through today. As there are some things which the BBC does which I approve of and use - like David Attenborough and their HBO co-production of 'Rome' - I calculate that on average the BBC is still worth £3 a week. <BR/><BR/>The main problem is that now, in addition to the £3 of good-value pleasure they provide, they are inflicting at least as much irritation, or maybe more - minimum of £5 worth, or £10 in a bad week.<BR/><BR/>This means they owe me between £2 and £7 per week. I'll send them an invoice for the balance and see if they want to call it quits rather than pay it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-25303162461650661732009-02-07T14:04:00.000+00:002009-02-07T14:04:00.000+00:00This is the stupid reply I received to my complain...This is the stupid reply I received to my complaint. Pretty much verbatim re what the womancontroller said:Notice they are not at all contrite for their actions.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your e-mail.<BR/><BR/>Carol Thatcher's remarks were not made in private but in a BBC Green Room in front of a number of people including BBC staff and caused great offence to those who heard them.<BR/><BR/>The One Show had hoped that Carol would issue an unconditional apology to those whom she had offended. Unlike other presenters who have found themselves at the centre of a news story in the past, Carol declined to do so. <BR/><BR/>As a result, her position on The One Show is no longer tenable and there are no plans to work with her in the future on that show. This is because her role as a roving reporter requires her to report on a wide variety of issues and to meet a diverse range of people throughout the country, many of whom are unlikely to agree that her remarks were acceptable even as a joke. <BR/><BR/>This does not mean she is banned from the BBC as a whole but simply she is no longer able to fulfil her current role on The One Show. <BR/><BR/>The BBC considers any language of a racist nature to be wholly unacceptable.<BR/><BR/>Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. <BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>BBC ComplaintsDr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-4800011124406328452009-02-07T08:05:00.000+00:002009-02-07T08:05:00.000+00:00Wee-ha!
