BBC fine for Brand and Ross

[jaysay]

The BBC have been fine £150,000 for the Brand/Ross saga, Its been reported that some MPs are demanding that these two P*****ks pay this fine themselves, do you agree, I know I do, even then they'll have got off lightly

[Less]

So they end up Paying £75,000 each if they do, that's pocket money to both of them & with a decent accountant they will probably be able to write it off as some sort of Tax Loss as a business expense!

i aint sure, reckon the BBC are just as responsible, no executive even watched the "Pre-Recorded" show. end of the day the pair should have been consigned to television history, but thats another issue. are ya saying the "Beeb" are blameless in this debacle jaysay? cos i don't think so.

[AccyLass]

Who will the money go to?
And who will it benefit?

[accyman]

not only do we have to pay a extortinate tv licenece for the talentless morons megga wages but we now have to foot the bill for his and his friends disgusting antics

every penny the bbc uses to pay a fine is coming out of our pockets

yes woss and his buddy shoudl pay their own fines

No I don't think the Beeb are blameless cash, but why the hell should the fine come out of the licence payer, and that's what it will as the BBC don't have money it all comes out of our pockets, so why should we pay for these two miscreants antics

At the end of the day, I thought it was funny, no-one died and to be honest, in the grand scheme of things when helicopters are falling from the sky and gunmen are wandering around shooting indiscriminately, we have riots on the streets of London and peoples body parts turning up in fields; does it really matter that much????

i would say it does , if somone rang my grandparents up spouting filth at them about family members i would hit them

That's what most of us would want to do accyman, especially in the case of Brand and Ross

Well if the BBC pay, we're basicly just paying for it ourselves. They seem to have loads of money to waste though.

if they got rid of the B,B,C .Maybe we could save our licence fee,,,,,

dont get me started on this lol

we live in a supposedly free society but we are FORCED to pay for a service wether we want it or not

its no different than me selling dog turds and teh government forcing you to buy them or face a huge fine or prison

you dont want them , you may want to buy them from somewhere else but you cant because the law says you have to buy from me

While I agree with Less about them finding some way of defraying the cost through some tax loophole.......I still think these overgrown schoolboys(and that is an insult to schoolboys, that isn't intended) should have to foot the bill.

And Lindsay, while no-one died, and you found it funny......I think it was an affront to decency which has to be nipped in the bud.
I would not want an elderly grandparent of mine to be subjected to this kind of stunt....and I suspect you wouldn't like it to happen to yours either.

[accyman]

well said margaret , i think its safe to say most decent thinking people wouldnt find an attack on any elderly person like that funny or acceptable wether they be family or not

Each to their own, my opinion etc.
