It might not be a big number to you but how many pensioner’s licence fee went to pay just that trip

If you spend the public money you have to be prepared to be held to account

Agree & that opens a whole debate. My own opinion is pensioners don’t pay for licenses.

I live overseas so I can get partial bbc access for free & it’s funded by adverts. Maybe that’s why it’s become sensationalist & bantzy to sell adverts but it should certainly find it for pensioners.

I’ve already made my point he shouldn’t have been there.

I actually thought utds keeper was disabled....,I'd not seen him use his hands effectively.
I also thought copycat utd were getting a sweeper keeper just like ours
Turns out ederson is behind the meanest defence ,at the top of the league,whilst noisy neighbours, last time I looked were 13th.

Unlucky for some.

I'm glad that you agree with my point about the licence fee and this is the key thing which angers so many about this organisation and the lack of accountability yet nothing ever gers done about it as those in a position to do anything about it won't as it may endanger their position on the BBC gravy train.
Personally I don't think that the BBC is particularly biased one way or the other politically however certain employees use their positions as BBC employees to push their own agendas for example Richard Sharp appointed as chairman after loaning Boris Johnson the thick end of £1 million without declaring it and Gary Lineker airing his views on social media with the subsequent fallout.
I'm not particularly political myself as I believe they all piss in the same pot but these two examples were jumped on by those of a left and right wing persuasion respectively.
Had the BBC not been publically funded this would not even be a debate.
The worst of the lot is BBC Sport, employing ex MUTV employees at BBC Salford a stonesthrow away from The Swamp with numerous well documented digs at our club on their publically funded platform.
Dan Roan, the first "journalist" to be banned from The Etihad who uses his position as a BBC employee to promote his views on social media and Simon Stone, self confessed Rag again with numerous well documented little digs.
Roan and Stone would have been sacked from any other organisation for their comments about Leicester's deceased owner and using their job to promote and sell Rag branded Tag watches.

I suspect the latter leads you to believe the former. Those that are political have as strong views on the BBC political bias as you do on football.
Just for clarity the BBC Chairman is not a BBC employee nor is he/she appointed by the BBC. It's a government cabinet office role typically appointed by the culture and media department. His/her role is to hold the BBC to account on behalf of the government. He is head of the BBC trust which is also made up of people not employed by the BBC.
