Why do I have the thought (depressing in many respects) that these programmes - despite being aimed at children - will be a relief from the utter vacuous nonsense pumped out across the platform - for all of us!?? 2021 has to be the year that the issue of the BBC continuing as the protected, subsidised monolithic non entity it is, is finally addressed, and sees the beginning of the end! Nobody has even tried to hold it to account for whether it has had to make the same sacrifices that other self funded businesses have over the last 10 months of covid, with furloughs etc!! I would suggest it hasn't as I have just paid my fee for another year! Many of us wonder why we pay a licence fee still (over and above it being the law I mean) RE: General News Thread - southsidestu - 08-01-2021 00:21 (06-01-2021 16:41 )hornball Wrote: Nobody has even tried to hold it to account for whether it has had to make the same sacrifices that other self funded businesses have over the last 10 months of covid, with furloughs etc!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52474911 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53263793 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/jul/02/local-tv-stars-to-go-as-bbc-cuts-450-staff-from-regional-programmes https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51225087 RE: General News Thread - *Kal-El* - 11-01-2021 22:06 A positive story for a change: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/policeman-pays-for-familys-christmas-dinner-instead-of-charging-them-for-shoplifting-12178083 RE: General News Thread - southsidestu - 12-01-2021 10:12 ^Update they all got food poisoning & died RE: General News Thread - Charlemagne - 12-01-2021 11:35 JCB's have designed and built a pothole repairing vehicle which can repair the holes in under 8 minutes. The machine has been having trials in Stoke for a few months. RE: General News Thread - Skyline - 12-01-2021 11:56 ^ Some of the pot holes in my area are more like mini craters and have been like it for quite a long time, so this is good news ....but.... RE: General News Thread - Stemmw - 27-01-2021 15:47 Anyone else following the news around Gamestop stock ? Anything that gives the hedge fund fuckers on wall street a bloody nose brings a smile to my face https://www.bbc.com/news/business-55817918 RE: General News Thread - Stemmw - 27-01-2021 21:25 ^ A video reviewing the Gamestop stock news, I love this story https://youtu.be/9ToOGrUQ7ME RE: General News Thread - TickleTheOrc - 29-01-2021 17:38 The 84% shorted was in April of last year. Keep that in mind. The hedgefunds had already made their money, and then some. But they wanted EVEN more. By the time this year, GME was shorted at somewhere between 120% - 140%. More shorts then there even exists stocks of GME to sell. The Hedgefunds got way way too greedy, and people took notice that by buying said stock. Hedgefunds would be forced to pay an extreme premium for shorting GME that far.
