And for a whopping £13 per month all they get in return is BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, Radio 1 Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, Radio 5, BBC Sounds which includes a huge archive drama, comedy and documentaries stretching back decades, BBC Iplayer which includes a huge archive drama, comedy and documentaries stretching back decades and all the content on the BBC website.

That's not to mention the regional BBC services, the specific broadcasting for Wales, Scotland and NI, the Welsh, Scots and Irish language broadcasts and the BBC World Service.

The good thing here is there's something for everyone so even if pensioners don't like BBC3 or 1extra maybe their grandkids will and its all affordable because we all make the same moderate contribution.

Post Savile the BBC has implemented a large range of safeguarding, and whistleblowing policies for staff who wish to raise concerns and, in conjunction with the NSPCC, have dedicated child protection officers, so it's worry that you seem think that all 22,000 members of staff are protecting paedophiles-perhaps you could elaborate on your concerns so we can alert the proper authorities?

Now, of course, there are some people who use the historic cases of abuse and the relatively small cost of the licence fee to attack the BBC when really they are angry that it isn't simply a right-wing echo chamber for senile racists and, for balance, there are people on the left that are convinced that it's simply an extension of the right wing Tory establishment. It's worth bearing in mind as you wouldn't want to be perceived as one of those moronic nut-jobs.

Post of the week. Well played sir.
 
Anyone think we are getting him for a half decent fee because we basically allowed Leeds to have jack Harrison on loan for ages and then they got him for peanuts?

I feel like we did them a bit of a favour in that whole situation and relations are really good.

Could well play a part but it's a bit strange for Leeds as the club who wants their prize asset wants him as a back up to the best player in the league in his position. Which doesn't make sense for us to pay more for the back up than it did for rodri.

He's not just going to be a back up though. Gundogan and kdb are both the wrong side of 30 with persistent injury problems. Phillips allows us to play different formations with two defensive midfielders and one of Bernardo, kdb, and gundogan. He's coming in to give us more options and to take the burden off the 8s as well.
