Well the BBC, as usual, has cowered in the corner over public opinion and responded to the largest piece of audience research ever undertaken by the BBC……..PHEW……THEY ASKED 2700. AGED FROM ELEVEN YEARS UPWARDS ……..and is now planning an about-turn in several areas of editorial policy. The 9pm watershed will no longer be regarded as a cut-off point after which audiences can be subjected to swearing and sexual content…….The BBC Trust said it had asked Mark Thompson, the directorgeneral, to consider broadcasting the most offensive language between 9pm and 10pm only in “exceptional” circumstances…..Strong language may also be “bleeped out” regardless of whether or not the show is broadcast after 9pm. Programmes will be obliged to carry warnings of potentially offensive content at all times of the day……But this is already happening…..A lot of the comedy repeats during the day already have words extinguished but when they were originally shown they were not censured!!!!….This action stinks of hypocrisy and it gets worse …..
The BBC will not disclose how much bosses spent entertaining its best-paid stars when executives' expenses claims are published, it has emerged.
The details of the expenses claimed by senior staff are to be made public for the first time as early as today, amid growing concern about possible misuse of licence fee-payers' money……But information about the sums spent on hospitality for its most high-profile presenters and actors will be censored, sparking allegations of a partial cover-up.
Some BBC executives claimed as much as £1,000 a month for lunches, hotel stays and theatre trips in addition to their salaries…But the corporation claims the Freedom of Information Act allows expenses related to "journalism, art or literature" to be kept secret…….SURPRISE…….SURPRISE……This is an organisation which is funded by the British Public but is run in such a “cloak & dagger” way as to be laughable……As with a lot of Public funded organizations in Britain…..The people that pay the funding have little control on where that money goes!!!!!….COME THE REVOLUTION
