Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

I get them too, I miss dragons den, thats it.

That started around the same time as The Apprentice. I thought both could have been informative business programmes, in reality both are just scripted fictional nonsense entertainment. Both are fine representations of the sort of dumbing down that's gone on over the years.

There are loads of Dragon's Den clips on YouTube. We watch them now and then when they pop up. I reckon a good half of them are just looking for a free telly ad. They never dig in, to find out what the company actually consists of, what assets it has and what they actually do. You're often left clueless as to whether they own a factory making the things, or if they just come from AliExpress.

My favourite programme as a kid was Tomorrow's World. Even today if you watch a clip it's pretty good. I recently watched one from the early 1980s explaining how a helical spinning head can get more onto a tape. You just don't see anything like this these days, no wonder nobody does any productive work any more.

Yes but
But but but but

Reform

There's plenty of dirt all round. Tice has demanded they look into Labour's links with China, which will probably be enough for Labour to kick it into the long grass along with that other enquiry they've been desperately trying to forget about.

Also, later data:

4 August 2022 You cannot be sent to prison for failing to pay a TV licence fee, only for failing to pay a fine in connection with a conviction for not paying the fee—and the latest available figures for England and Wales show no one was jailed for this in 2020 or 2021.

Selective facts. That was during lockdown, when they suspended home visits. You probably know this, and are spinning things to try and prove a lie.

The extortion racket is all up and running again now. Threats, court appearances, fines, imprisonment. The most bonkers, ridiculous subscription service in the world. Other countries look at it with disbelief.

Helical scan was invented in the 50’s.
I first used Omega Wrap on video recorders late 70’s.

That's 1 part of a very long speech

Do you want to include other parts?

Trump said 'fight' an awful lot. The rioters did not need much of a spark. But this is old ground. The results of Trumps riot speech are there for all to see, even MBK with his head up his arris.

Aye. Video tape was already widespread, obviously.

It was a demo of a prototype consumer digital audio system. It looked like an early stage of DCC, which later failed commercially.

The point was that you could get more info (higher quality) onto the same tape as was already used by spinning the head.

I was giving an example of the sort of in-depth stuff you used to get on the BBC at prime time, not trying to have a war about when stuff was invented.

Also the Money Programme was good. In-depth looks into various UK businesses. Inspiring stuff, could educate people into seeing how business works and perhaps the odd one would start the next massive company.

I don't watch the BBC but I hear the TV highlights on the radio and see the odd clip on YouTube, it looks desperately idiotic.

2 wrongs make a right?

Ok

I prefer to see any and all politicians held to account. Regardless of what party, colour, race, age, sex they are

No ifs, no buts

And he's missed the fact

There's a lot of it!

You'd hope that someone somewhere would have produced an article including the two sentences that the BBC used as their parts bin, and the sentence they reassembled the words into.

I've seen it in the form of a video, I concluded that they had changed the meaning of his words by editing. Deliberately too, any apprentice editor would have understood this.

 

[SPLINE]

It didn't and the mob that day is testament to that. The BBC got it spot on. Trump said riot, and riot (violently) they did.

Are you sure he said riot?

I can't understand what point you're trying to make (again).

Statement of the obvious?

What 2 wrongs?

I'm just pointing out that they all have skeletons, so whatever's being enquired into will probably be delayed and quietly buried. Not good, not bad, but just the reality of what happens when the referees all play for one of the teams.

[motorbiking]

But this is old ground.

and we've done it to death, the beeb were wise to apologise for giving the mistaken impression that Trump had called for violent action.

 

[noseall]

Are you sure he said riot?

He seemed pretty thrilled with the result. I doubt Trump expected anything less, given the incendiary build up to his riots.
