All this I couldnt care etc yet we still manage to get 8 pages of "discussion" on SN about it.
I cant believe in the whole world, this is the most popular current affair being talked about here.

No i used to live in an old factory opposite a school and as i got home at around 3 o'clock some of the mothers complained that i was hanging around 
The police actually said i should delay my journey home and not be around at that time.
Told the police and the mothers themselves to **** right off and made a point of ringing the council about them every day for parking along the whole length of the street on double yellows after that
It was nice to see the wardens give them all tickets.
Oh and made a point of sitting in my floor to ceiling window and waving at them every day for a while too.

Haven't you seen, there are still some who want them to be burned at the stake. In fact they could probably just use the brooms that are stuck up their bums to tie them to and burn them

This didn't bother me at all, the media furore around it however is ridiculous.
Fair enough, some people found it offensive and they have a right to complain, but to bring it to the point where it is national news and debated in the commons, well it just proves this country is screwed.
Personally, I found the Trevor MacDonald sarcastic comment at the National Television Awards last night where he mocked the homeless much more offensive than Ross and Brand having a pop at some self proclaimed "satanic ****".

Mary Whitehouse had an altogether different approach. Mary Whitehouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While I'm here I don't understand the point that our political figures shouldn't comment on the affair as there's more important things going on. Of course there is, however, the BBC is publically funded, and if the argument went that you couldn't comment on anything but the biggest story of the season (namely the credit crunch) many issues wouldn't be discussed.
Idiots like these pair endanger the whole public funding question of the BBC, and contribute to the general slide in society of values and behaviour.

Firstly they were being abusive to Sachs and weren't calling the grand daughter's phone. Secondly, it's a popuar story to comment on due it's morally polarizing viewpoint. The bigger issue why it is a major story is its reflection of our society as a whole with non accountable behaviour and the sums of public money involved publically paid to the pair.

No, and taking the liberty to answer, I suggest he's saying that the majority of license payers will object to 'their' money being spent on bullying of innocent old men. You surely cannot defend this as profitable use of public funds???

Don't give me all this about him being a poor old defenceless old man, and a national hero and all that either.
Who really cares what they earn? They are paid what the BBC determines they are worth and they are far more qualified to make that call than either you or I. Ross in-particular has a very broad appeal and his show is sold worldwide which generates revenue for the BBC.
Clarkson is constantly offensive to plenty of people, but you won't find many on here who will have a go at him, or question his pay.
It seems there is quite a bit of schadenfreude from the British public regarding these two. People are loving watching them suffer and they are constantly justifying their thoughts because they get paid more than most.
You also can't argue they are not accountable, already one has resigned and the other is likely have people turn off his show too.
The point is, you don't have to drag it through the media, house of commons and other public auditoriums, if you don't like them, vote against them with your remote control. There is no need to waste everyones time getting worked up about it when there are greater problems in the UK right now. The BBC would soon chop them (and anyone else they employ) if people turn off.

The amount of output and programming they provide accross many different mediums if unmatched and unrivalled anywhere in the world. I'd be happy to pay twice as much and there is the fact there are no adverts, again not matched anywhere else apart from tinpot dictatorship type places.

Sorry, did not see the question......... I think majority of expenditure is 'wasted' ...... ready, steady, cook, Eastenders etc etc are good examples and other toss progs like that.
I enjoy film 2008 etc......

I just do not think that a fee should be enforced and i expect majority would feel the same. TBH, and this is just me, if the BBC asked me to give them what I think they deserved I would probably give them more than the current fee.

They have to provide a wide range of programs, something for everyone. No-one likes everything but everyone likes something
I'd pay the licence fee for Planet Earth HD alone.
Their Radio output is also extremely good and covers the whole range of programming.

Well if the grand daughter hadn't have brought Sachs into it in the first place then he wouldn't have heard anything would he.

Admit that you are in the minority on this or at least admit to trolling
