"Up there" don't you mean, Stirling? 5Live is a division of BBC North and is based in Salford. Which is yet more northernist political correctness if you ask me. When I say 'down there' I'm painting a picture with sulfur.

Having lived all over England I think that Northerners are far less politically correct than the pseudo intellectual Corbynite Londoners. Indeed, that's why I said northernist and not northern.

Listening to Radio 5 this morning and the Sports News lead with the fact that Arsene Wenger might come back to football soon but not as a Manager. Was there really so little going on in the world of sports that the lead story was a nothing story about an ex football manager that most of us had forgotten about That's why the sports page is dominated by female lead stories, not a lot of men's sports around the last couple of days. Don't worry it will change next week.

But a demographic will always push for the most they will get.....and we know that a large proportion of the media will support them.....because it gets those angry female clicks.

When it comes to money professional sport is the same as entertainment it has nothing to do with ability and is all about bums on seats. There are plenty of lousy groups such as the Spice Girls who can't sing, play or write music. They do however earn shed loads of money because the public want to see them (god knows why). Women should be paid the market rate which means what the public are prepared to pay. If they win the world cup it will certainly raise their profile but eventually it still comes back to are the public that bothered.

So if buisness choose to want to advertise heavily with mens football but not as much for woman why should the men's game subside the women's pay?

Exactly, I think in most sports its the men side that subsidies the women. However Most advertisers / sponsors seem keen to pay lip service to equality and throw some money their way which is their prerogative. I am not against say Men's football subsiding the women there's nothing wrong in trying to grow your brand I just don't agree they should get equal pay until an average game is watched by 30,000 people who have paid around £50 each.

BBC scraps free licence for over 75's unless they are on benefits. Good old Auntie they had no choice, well yes actually they did. The BBC has a huge budget and rather than trim it they have decided to punish the elderly. They were all in favour of a Labour government paying for free licenses but but when the Cameron government said it comes out of your budget this is their response. Suggestions on a postcard as to how the BBC could have saved the money elsewhere. I would suggest they look at their salary structure. I was told it's not just the celebrities and bureaucrats but many of the bog standard jobs are paid far higher then commercial TV. There are so much savings across the board to be made, it would be very, very easy. "It follows a consultation with 190,000 people, of which 52% were in favour of reforming or abolishing free licences." Well what about the 48%? Don't they deserve a voice? Let's do the survey again!
