It dont matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
I must admit i had a little chuckle today again at the hypocrisy of the Murdoch empire when i read that the Sun news paper had backed the Conservatives for the election.....but not in Scottish editions of the paper.
I see Ben Bradshaw is still being a twat...
Hmm so they must listen to the Licence payers, yet he's the one ignoring the fact the BBC are listening and people would rather have £5 off their licence than give it to commercial companies.

Haven't we been paying a premium the past few years to pay for the digital switchover? Apparently that's the money being argued about. The independents (and some of the government) want that money to continue to be levied and given away from the BBC but the licence fee payers don't want to pay it any more.
Yeah, we've been paying a premium for digital switch over and help for the poor, elderly and disabled with the cost of upgrading. At present the fund is under-subscribed and they're expecting quite a large underspend that the government want to put to other uses, and continue to slice off a small percentage of the licence to continue funding.
The BBC Trust say the Licence payers would rather the extra funds be used to allow them to cut £5 off the licence fee.
Yeah that was great!
With the Sun backing the Conservatives i wonder if there as been talks between the two about the BBC.
At this rate it will not just be the the Labour party battling to survive.
Did you all retune your free view boxes today.?

Where the tabloids go the popular vote goes it seems.
It's odd that you can't get BBC, they're generally the strongest channels.
Basically they shuffled the channels round on the multiplexes to free one of them up for HD later this/early next year. So that's why you're getting more channels, because they're now on a multiplex you receive.
Seems like the people who lose channels are on relays rather than main transmitters, and they're too cheap to upgrade the relays for post switchover.
This area has not officially switch over yet so i expect the BBC to fix it before we do or i might join the anti BBC campaign
I think getting all the five channels has to be the tackiest birthday present i have ever got

Since they switched over to all digital here, I have been able to get Channel 5 for the first time in 10 years, I could briefly get it when I lived on top of a really big hill. It never even showed up in my onscreen programme guide when we went digital.
It's still rubbish I see.

Their new controller is hoping to change that... same with the guy in control of Sky1. They both want more home grown shows and comedy, if I remember the interviews properly.
I don't really mind if the show is not home grown as long as its good.
I bet there still some good US shows out there that they could get there hands on.
But i suppose they would like to make their own shows in the hope it becomes a dvd hit.
I don't mind so long as it's good and new. But I think in general home grown prime time drama tends to rate better than imports do.
you call that great journalism? i thought it was a fucking waste of time, they just kept interrupting each other. all she was doing was asking 'but where's the money coming from?' repeatedly and not giving the poor bastard a chance to answer. typical of these Breakfast reporters who think they're something special when they're not. Charlie Stayt's the same.
great journalism is asking a question, getting an answer and then asking an intelligent follow-up question not interrupting to repeat yourself and not give the poor sod chance to say anything.
^It is a decent tactic if they're not actually answering the question though. But there does come a point where it is just pointless to keep asking the same question when it's obvious they will not answer.
But I can't comment on this interview since I didn't see it.
