Dunno whether to giggle or cry about the BBC. . .

Perhaps someone at the bbc thinks that this will help people to learn English ? . . .

Just in case you think that this is a spoof. . . .

Must be honest, when I heard about the Pidgin service a couple of months ago, I just ignored it as more #FakeNews. . . The Beeb are capable of producing some astonishingly GOOD programming. . . but the 'News' part of the organization really needs a serious shake up in the Impartiality department. I would prefer far more actual NEWS reports than what we get 24/7 which is 10% news and the rest 'Opinionated narrative' . . . When I see the phrase. . 'The BBC has learned that. . . .' Off goes the switch. Mrs. P. insists upon paying the BBC Licence tax for the excellent wildlife programming. But we both gave up completely on all their news output several years ago.

How can you give up, isn't the TV licence compulsory, even if you only have a car radio?.

Crafty use of the knob marked 'OFF' . . .

 

 

Actually, there is no licence requirement for Radio, nor BBC Internet services UNLESS there is LIVE streamed video content. The last 12 months has shown a very significant reduction in the renewal of the BBC licence fee, as folks appear to be waking up that this is a wholly unfair tax.

 

 

 

There are ways around paying it. More and more people are, apparently doing this.

The Beeb seems to be positioning itself to survive without the income from licences. Just about every magazine video clip I open on the BBC site starts with a damned ad.
