RIP the BBC

Well I’ve had it with the fecking BBC news, TV and radio, seems they are slightly overdoing the coverage on the financial situation we are facing, it’s got so bad even the c***y one show was banging on about how bad it’s going to get, none of it of any worth they just keep going over and over the same small bit of info they have, trouble is the Beeb these days seems totally fixated with Islam, Palestine, gypsies rights and general economic doom and flippin gloom, in the past the BBC simply reported the news now they seem intent on trying to influence/make it. Like so many of us their meant to pay up and shut up while the money the've paid into the DHSS and NHSS all their working lives is denied them, and worse they now get means tested while others simply jump of the back of lorries at Dover and simply spout a few words of broken Englisgh and get all the attention of the state system they've never paid a penny into.
I use to be a big BBC supporter but not now, the sooner it’s cut back the better, it’s got to big for it’s boots and is infested by political correctness and focuses way to much on minority rights etc yet the true needy minority ie the old get pushed aside.
Take today, world arthritis day but you’d never have known if you’d looked on the BBC web news, so anyway I decided to have a look on the health page, what was the top story?, an article on HIV in the UK, now there are less than a million people with it here and the majority of cases are imported from Africa so isn’t a serious issue or threat to a sizable percentage of the indigenous population unlike RA and OA or other local illnesses, but because it’s a sizable minority/immigrant problem it gets top slot, the dog is being wagged by the tail as usual.
They oddly forgot to mention that each infected person here, or who comes here with it will cost the NHS over £1 million each to treat during their lives.

Yup, fair rant well put!!

I watch/look at RT news for the, well, guess!?

I really only use the Beeb for the excellent F1 coverage but that's about to be knobbled and seriously, I've nearly created negative space in my spleen about THAT issue (elsewhere, not here, as an ardent F1 fan) so I'm going to walk away now... calmly. *breath Stu, breath lad*.
