There has been a lot of debate about the salaries. The bbc does provide a lot of quality stuff. Perhaps the bbc could have a free service and put the good stuff on a paid service. From what I read ABC had a news channel which is paid for?? One thing about it though is that it would need to have free channels to be able to show certain sporting events which have to be on free to view tv.

I don't know what they spend it on. But it can cost over £200 million to make a 2 hour film so a few billion doesn't look like to much when you compare it. How much does ABC cost to run though? And what is the quality like? I'm sure the BBC wasts money because it has that guaranteed income. Which is why I said perhaps we should look at cutting the tv licence fee and making them generate more of their income. But I doubt they could run a channel with no adverts completely by other means. I don't entirely know what you are arguing against I prety much agree with you

@Spike I do think it would interesting to look at the ABC model though. Maybe put the tv licence fees down and the BBC has the generate more money other ways.

But it still needs money to fund the 3/4. And if it was paid for though income tax it would still mean people are paying for it who dont watch it. If ABC have found other ways to generate income that is great but that's not always possible.

I just googled ABC and it seems as if it is funded through tax. So you are still paying for it just in a different way. If anything a tv licence is fairer because if someone doesn't want to watch tv they dont pay for it. I dont know how all the other channels are funded but someone pays for it. Nothing is free

@Spike Just googled it and the tv licence is expected to be abolished in 2027. Probably had to wait for country to be completely digital and then some time to sort it out

The tv licence is used to fund the bbc which doesn't have adverts. Why you cant just not watch it and watch other channels without it though I dont know. Perhaps years ago with the analogue system it was impossible to tell which channel people had on. And also you couldn't just stop that channel from broadcasting to certain TVs. Where as now you can tell and you can stop certain channels from broadcasting so I dont know why it is still here and why you cant just pay for the bbc if you want it

So I work for a recruitment agency at the moment. I've had a few shifts cancelled recently and I was told today it was because of her budget. I've never know someone do so much damage in such a short space of time. I know it wasn't liz truss's budget but she would have had say in it

I did ask @Dr. Gonzothis but he appears to have his finger up his ass. From what I have read there is no way to force a early general election. My worry is that the conservatives will find a way to stay in power. Perhaps if they get rid of truss really quickly for example people will trust them more for admitting their mistake or something

Think how @CaaC (John) and @Bluewolf feel. They're been through all that plus Thatchers England the extinction of the dodo and an asteroid hitting the earth

@Dr. Gonzo What is your ethnicity? Were you born in England to Iranian parents?

Dont know if anyone remembers me saying I wanted to get an old copy of tekken 3 as mine is scratched. I've found a website I trust. I have a memory card and the game was completed. If I get a new copy will the game still be completed as it's in the memory card? @nudge help me lol

No we didn't we drew

Like I said to john you are looking at it small scale. Some people will get smacked and it wont do them damage but it increases your chances in general. You teach respect to people without hitting them.

No offence John but you are looking at it small term. Opinions of people who haven't studied these things on a large scale arent worth as much as experts who have are they?

Mortal kombat 2019. 6 1/2 out of 10. I thought this film is good if you wanna watch some brainless film because you are having a day where you dont wanna think much. The story is pretty terrible but the fight scenes are good and it it quite entertaining

I know some parents insist in smacking but most experts think it does psychological damage

Is he one of those people who finds a small minority of people who are offended by something so he can say how we are all being censored?

I was listening to a bit of 90s dance earlier. I'm not one of those people who says all music today is shit and all music in the past was brilliant. But it does seem as if a lot of people who weren't even born then say 90s dance was the best. Maybe dance music was at it's best in the 90s. Not saying all genres were.

I went to England v Slovenia in 2011. We won 4.0. They are alot faster than they seem on tv.

You ever been to womens match mate?

@Bluewolf Do you live in London? I tried to get tickets for the usa match in a couple of weeks but couldn't. I think they need to sort out the ticket exchange sceme because I'm sure some tickets could be resold

I do think emma hayes could be a good replacement for serena weigman when she goes. I'm not sure if shes as good as her but I think shes good. Unlike mens football managing the national team can be more attractive than club football
