I have great sympathy for anyone seriously bullied at school because it is plain wrong but to highlight these examples for propaganda purposes is an insult to anyone who has experienced serious bullying. I suspect anyone who wants to publicise it in this way.

The BBC is making quite a bit out of the Joseph Rowntree's report into poverty which is understandable but I'm not sure on their choices of case studies. Yesterday on the TV news they were talking to a woman that had three jobs but still couldn't earn enough to make a living wage and had to rely on food banks. They pictured her walking along with the BBC interviewer holding a cigarette while she walked. Today it's a 51 year old woman struggling to pay her water rates which had gone up from 21 per month to 31 per month which she claimed was too much for someone on the financial brink. The article briefly mentioned that she lived with two of her children which I'm guessing would be at least 20 years old but no mention of whether they made any financial contribution or not/ She also claimed that "Access to clean water should be a basic human right" which is a daft claim to make on so many levels Edited by Midlands Eagle (04 Dec 2018 11.06am)

If the BBC actually gave a sh1t they would give these people the relief of not having to pay £150 quid a year to partake in their neo liberal 'progressive' BS. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Amen to that. The license fee is a "regressive tax" because it does not take into account a person's ability to pay. Surprisingly then you would think that people on the left of politics would be against such a system because it lacks fairness. One more point

If the BBC actually gave a s***, they'd only charge 50% of the license fee in respect of half the programmes being repeats!

I take your point, however this “tax” is avoidable by choosing not to use the services that it covers. Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)
