Bang media licence revoked

So you vehemently criticise Bang Media for not following the rules, yet you do exactly the same in Spain?

And are you claiming that the Spanish equivalent of Ofcom has been monitoring your posts on this forum and as a result has now decided (presumably in the last day or so) to tighten up regulations? Dream on.

Nice to know we have true British fuckers dealing with our well being

Define 'British'?

We are a 'mongrel' nation as it is - 'true Britishness' does not exist

Speak for yourself, No Mongrel here. Banatvala ! Now here's a name that just trips off the tongue, you'll find that as abundant as Smith in the phone book Huh !

Poor example of a 'British' name - seeing as 'Smith' has its origin in the proto-germanic language.

The simple fact is Britain is a 'mongrel' nation. The original settlers to this area came over from mainland europe through the now gone land bridge connecting to what is now Denmark and the Netherlands. They became known as 'Britons', but were not indigenous to this area. Subsequently, Britain has had invading conquerors settling into these islands (the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Normans, Romans....). They have then assimilated into our culture, in many cases replacing the already existing culture with their own. Then there were the Gaelic tribes invading northern Britain, eventually creating Scotland. In the case of the Romans, these invading forces consisted of many races from the previously conquered nations (Spain, Germany, France, North Africa....)

Incidentally, though now used solely as a term for the inhabitants of Wales - the early germanic tribes that settled here referred to the Britons as 'Welsh'. If you were to try and find 'true British' geneology still surviving today, you would most likely have to look in the likes of Cornwall or Wales, as these areas were not assimilated by the Anglo-Saxons, resulting in the Celtic based languages surviving in those regions. Alternatively, you would have to look in Brittany, since that is where a number of Britons emigrated to following invasion.

So, I really fail to see the relevance of someones Surname, and what the perceived lack of 'Britishness' has to do with it all. A name is but a name

Perhaps he should change his name from Banatvala to Ban all tv ala
I think he's still a narrow minded twatt, whatever he calls himself.

yeah, but i knew i could get away it.

they wouldn't of been monitoring, as they only go on what people tell them people have done or said. I'm not sure if they've just decided it now, of whether just because I openly said it, they told me now.

and your some idiot who has no idea how the spanish industry works so you can dream on as you have no idea how anything is done over here.

Well, if you go back far enough we're all African/Asian in origin anyway. We really do need to move beyond the monumental stupidity of thinking there's an importance or pride to be held in which arbitrarily assigned boundary on a continually shifting suface of a tiny piece of rock orbiting a completely unremarkable star in a nondescript part of the universe, we were born.

And just to keep this on topic... silly Bang. Silly silly Bang.

so its gone ?

not yet

It most probably was. I am glad I aint in uk industry anymore as I know I would of got a fine or something and asked to see all footage from x to y, where i only got told to buck my ideas up and it has brought about change, which generally for Spain is good, as it will actually change a national attitude towards the following of regs, that they now must actually be followed.
