Tragedy, innit?

He's certainly let himself go since the Bee Gees.

Saturday Night Fever apparently....

Maybe it is just me, but I am aghast. Note that it starts gentle, but seems to hang hang onto a theme for dear life.
Crack the hidden code speak and I guess it is somewhere towards not continuing a lie.

I would nominate it for a creativity award. Could be useful as a teaching aid, for politics. BBC are overdoing their fear mode.

BBC licence fee frozen for last 2 years with an expectation that it rises with inflation in 2024. But now Sunak is saying and extra £1 a month is too much!

I’m well aware that the first 4 aren’t compulsory purchases but even so the BBC is an institution which must be protected.

The big difference is that TV watchers have a CHOICE with Netflix etc, ie, if you don't like their offerings, don't buy the package. No such choice exists with BBC, even if you don't watch their output, if you watch live TV, you have to pay the Fee.

For what it is worth, I do watch BBC in preference to ITV etc, and, I do pay the licence fee.

Not anymore, it should become subscription model
 
Andrew Neil’s approval doesn’t reassure me.
