In Britain unless you don’t watch live tv all year or watch anything made by the BBC it’s a basically a tax you have to pay. Slightly pedantic, yes. It is, however, something you choose to pay. Nothing will change until you choose not to pay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I posted a quote from the match report this was your response. It's just tiring to keep getting responses like this when we post something on this thread. To respond to your snide comment on "trying to earn ingratiating points", I wasn't inferring that you were critising 26th specifically so I wasn't defending him specifically. I just repeated the reason for our comments on this thread and stated that he (in particular) does a good job. We know your view, put-downs like the comment above aren't necessary when we've already had that conversation.

Most of us are law abiding and, if nothing else, at least want to watch Rangers live on tv so this isn't an option available to us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,815 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The law abiding do get short-changed though, as well as being treated poorly by an impartial organization's Scottish branch. If anything, they should complain - relentlessly - to the BBC and (sic!) Ofcom, if they see their rights and payments violated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're referring to my post #1439 which (if you look more carefully) wasn't a response to anyone, even to you. It was that seemingly confusing thing ... posting a personal opinion without engaging in a conversation with anyone, even you. Y'know, an original thought. It can be a problem when you think everything is about you. You can even start to think people are being snide. Best try to fight it. ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if being deprived of my £150.50 will in itself bring the BBC to heel but at least I don't feel like a victim of fraud any more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,299 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) This thread sums up why we won't get much done about it. Instead of collectively fighting the unfair reporting, we're sniping at each other. As an aside, Michael Stewart is a fud.

Ofcom and BBC generic responses are aplenty. We need a more collective effort, otherwise nothing will change.
