BBC Loses The Plot

[Lucy]

The welfare recipient is entirely dependent upon the patronage of the state. The individual does not have any responsibility other than to its paymaster. Through welfare the state ensures that the recipient is not given enough to enable them to break away on their own and become independent. In addition the state captures all those individuals who work in administering the states services, effectively also making them welfare dependents.

The BBC has a double power base. It firstly enjoys its own independent power by virtue of its control of its own powerful propoganda machine. Secondly it enjoys the patronage of the state. It can therefore occasionally put two fingers up at the government (which is not necessarily a bad thing).

Although the BBC does try reasonably hard to be as impartial as possible it is too much at odds with other forces to not pursue its own agenda.

Yes the BBC does produce some very good programmes, but because we are forced to pay for it then it should be held to greater account than a private broadcaster from who we can voluntarily switch off.

Hear Hear !

[Let-Me-In]

Have they found this plot yet? Surely someone must know where it is?

Really?



Where do they mention that they get lots of money from you dialing!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's just have a look at what they said.

CashCallRadio

3. Why does Cash Call use a premium rate telephone number?

The premium rate telephone network can handle a large number of simultaneous calls, meaning our callers are less likely to get an engaged tone.

And so can the rest of the network.

Premium rate calls are diverted off the ordinary telephone network so they cannot disrupt emergency service (999) calls - even when there are high numbers of calls being made.This is essential to protect the public.

And there was I thinking that it was 999 calls which had top priority, regardless.

Any telecomms wizzes here who know the ins and outs of this?

Premium rate calls cost the same to all callers regardless of where they have dialled from, so avoiding any regional discrimination that would be inherent in using, say, a London telephone number.

Just like those nationwide local rate calls then.

Sophisticated equipment and systems on the premium rate network allow Cash Call to provide real-time and complex listener interaction. While the Cash Call service is simple for callers to use, behind the scenes these sophisticated systems are essential and without them Cash Call would just not be possible.

Really?
