Let’s talk about BBC

Surely you'd want to let the poor bloke stay in the UK - after all, he's fleeing persecution in France and his only crime was to help refugees get to the country of their choice?

None of that is true.

None of that is true.

I guess you're not very good at detecting sarcasm. Anyhow, do you think he should be allowed to stay in the UK or not?

Ideally he should be deported. The law does not allow it.

Are you talking about the people smuggler, uninsured driver, etc, or the sex offender?

or the poster whose views he dislikes?

Think positive Steve, this is an (alleged) millionaire coming TO the UK, not leaving, Labour’s policies must be working. 😊

Stevo's context was:

I confused that with the sex offender. Neither should be staying. The latter however cannot be deported without a law change.

I thought that they wanted rid of all those nasty rich people and their tax contributions?

Why so coy, BBC? Criminals have a habit of denying they are criminals.

Gosh. Wow. The BBC's 'Chief political correspondent' justifies his salary several times over.

BBC news link - new Director General suggests a household levy so that 100% of people pay towards the license. Currently it has dropped to 80% (I assume 80% of all people who they think watch TV)

That sounds good, if 100% paying, instead of 80%, the the price should go down?

Oh look, a flying pig

You won’t find any complaints from me.
Just add it to council tax or electricity bills.

I wouldn't mind either, even though I don't watch much BBC output. I think there are younger people who genuinely never watch or listen to BBC stuff who will object to paying though, even if it went down to say £50, because they don't hold the BBC in the affection/esteem that older people often do. To them it's just another service provider, one among many. Why should you pay for an unused service?
