EU discussion

[teamsaint]

Actually, when you think that Tim Davie earns a total package of £380,000 I expect Lagarde's is tax free because it's, given the job, not very well paid . Perhaps she'll apply to be the next BBC Director General (Mark Thompson's total package is £671,000). Admittedly, they've docked it a bit - it was £814,000 a couple of years ago.

I expect there are other perks...and given her track record recently, she, along with the BBC execs you mention, is seriously overpaid.

Oh and that "mail " quote you did was highly selective........obviously !!(bosses privilege I guess).

Love the 'troll' bit Bryn, lol, is that an attribute you pay to everyone who does not agree with you? Well actually I do pay my BBC licence, much as I loathe too, and I thought I would cross swords with some educated people like you, to see if you can deal with it!

I did write that I took it you wee not simply a UKIP troll. Did I get that wrong. I ask again, what is it about BBC Radio 3 that attracted you to this forum. It is the Radio 3 Forum, by the way, not the "UKIP I don't like paying my BBC licence fee Forum".

"UKIP I don't like paying my BBC licence fee Forum".

Are they opposed to that as well ?

It's a conspiracy ...........

Well, we are certainly not very happy with the pro eu stance of the BBC (usually known to us as the Brussels Broadcasting Conspiracy)

You've been to visit the Illuminati in the North Pole? only joking, not meaning to offend, but these people are no joke, they don't wish us well, and I mean any of us, poor and rich alike. People who defend the diktats in the EU think they will be spared the severe austerity, but they will find out that they aren't wanted either at the end of the day, so it's lights out for all of us if we don't get out of this mess. Not sure what you mean by home grown tyrannical idiots, if you mean LibLabCon you have hit the nail on the head, they are all in the same game, any bickering between them is simply a smoke screen. And yes they are all toffs, but being a toff doesn't mean to say there aren't good people amongst toffs, we just happen to be ruled by some particularly nasty out of touch ones who don't give a damn about the people of this country.

? It's ok I don't mind being called a troll, I assume you are saying I am not simply a UKIP troll, but just a troll! raofl Why do you want to find out how I joined this forum? are you afraid that ordinary non-Radio 3 listener trolls will join this discussion en masse once they find their way in? Also I would imagine that non-UKIP people dislike paying their BBC licence too, after all why should the BBC be paid by us, as they have a total bias with their political slant towards Labour and make it a policy not to discuss the EU power and to censor any global warming scam proof.

There already is one. Why not have another series of them for each individual district of the city of Hereford and a load more the the remaining bits of Herefordistan? Nah! - forget it! It won't matter one jot how you slice the cake, there will still be massive problems at the top and below, whoever is "in charge".

Hope this means you are still going to sell us your Lava Bread Roehre! Will the 'Wales Independent Party' still be in the EU?

Lava Bread?

The clue is in Roehre's location, Jane C

Very nice with bacon and eggs!

Oh and that "mail " quote you did was highly selective........obviously !!(bosses privilege I guess).

Well, the point stands, I think. You did actually say you don't read the Daily Mail - but had no objection to quoting from it when you stumbled upon a suitable story. That story is the Daily Mail's bread and butter. That was the point.

Personally, I love being a European, culturally, and have no objection to being one politically. All this Them and us, and what They are going to do to us has no resonance for me at all.

I think you mean laverbread as far as i'm aware all the volcanoes in Wales are extinct

????

Is this like the "left wing" stance of the BBC then

I remember mr Pee telling us all the Royal Stuff was a smokescreen to hide their commie agenda (or something to that effect !)

We have to get our information from somewhere.....and any source can be seen to be tainted, if you look closely enough...and you can get this kind of story easily in all the papers.
Here's one in the guardian :http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...?newsfeed=true
The them and us, for a lot of people, is not about us and the Germans, or us and the Greeks, or us and the French....but about us and them, the people who control us, whether they be the Bank of England, The IMF, The ECB, Euro politicians, Cameron and Clegg, newscorp , the Mail, whoever.
It is divisive to suggest that being against a political structure, the EU, equates with being anti European. As far as I am concerned, when it comes to most people in Europe, there is far more that unites us than divides us.
The IMF are them....French farmers, the Greek people are Us.The Italian people with a technocratic, bank imposed government are Us.
What is happening to ordinary people in europe is very wrong....and you don't have to read the Mail to think that !!
