Cuts Starting To Bite

[Guest Oxo]

Only the bad builders, the rest of the time they are thieving from us claiming the licence fee pays for quality programmes.

The only side of BBC that actually makes money is the international side and their main income for that is Top gear followed by Dr Who.

Why not lay off 50 000 there no loss to programming or quality.

I know, my seething hatred or a waste of licence fee money got the better of me

So why did the police need it?

They travel in two's and over, one person listening is fine I think two is ok too but more than two they need a license.

Looks like the cops could avoid it for vehicles.
