By all fleeing the country too?

Didn't realise you were 200 years old. It explains things, though.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Most people tend to contribute to the country by paying their due taxes.

But not freeloaders like Doom - he wants to do it with chocolate bars.

Yes he lives outside Islington, the borough served by the BBC.

You are if you wish to watch any live TV, even if it is not BBC output.

Nice thought. Now go do a shift with a US PD and see how you can cope with the prospect of being shot at every time you approach someone.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I'm sure that makes sense to you. Have you thought about seeing a doctor?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Then take that up with those who make the law of the land. I'll give you a hint. It's not the BBC.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Still not seen that doctor?

Perhaps you think freelances don't pay taxes. I've got news for you...

[Dave Plowman (News)]

From the days when the UK was great...

I think you should listen to this interesting documentary, addressing in part the training of US police officers, on R4 the other day:

... because the mindset you just expressed is - to an extent - trained into US police officers; but that mindset is unhelpful, unnecessary, and leads to the results we are discussing.

Radio 4 is in no small way responsible for fomenting the disorder we are seeing lately. The BBC in general and R4 in particular have been drip-feeing the slavery narrative with ever increasing frequency over the past few years in an obvious attempt to stir up trouble. No one who continually opens up old sores means well. If they *truly* wished to heal divisions in society they would not be continually doing this.

[#Paul]

Perhaps what to you are "old sores", are to others still unhealed wounds. So another point of view, for example, might be expressed as "No one who continually dismisses unhealed wounds means well".

Are you mary Whitehouse? Listen avidly to a service you hate to give you something to moan about?

But try moaning about the broadcast in your own country first, rather than ones you don't pay for.

But then you supporting slavery is no surprise at all.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

'Backing Britain' is one of those favourite phrases for politicians and the likes of Doom - for others to comply with, never themselves.

[Andrew]

many of them don't pay their 'fair share' because they are using a variety of fiddles like paying dividends to avoid NI or even taking 'loans' from an intermediate that is never paid back, in lieu of salary.

Some of the latter are being chased (belatedly) by HMRC for big 6-digit sums.

Did the Allegro have any paint on the underside of the doors ?.

[Andrew]

I was looking at HOnest Johns website yesterday at the article on scrappage. Some manufacturers are offering up to £4K scrappage, but Dacia only offer £250 off a Duster :-(

[Andrew]

Have you tried seeing a doctor these days ?. Almost impossible.

Especially to the BBC. You need to listen to the midnight news or the 6AM news bulletin when R4 just, might diseminate something that it would prefer you not to hear. And you won't hear it again on any news bulletin or program through the day.
