! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
The BBC is shedding thousands of jobs to cut costs. People like Jonafan Woss and Jeremy Clarkson are looking like losing their jobs for being too expensive.
However, the mini-budget the other week announced new farsi and arabic channels from the BBC but there’s no mention of cutbacks on that front. Nor is there any indication whether they’ll stop the totally unnecessary cost of broadcasting both English and Welsh versions of the same sports events.
Flicking through the channels this afternoon I came across the same rugby match in English on BBC1 and in Welsh on S4C (courtesy of the BBC). I expect it was on BBC Radio Wales in English and BBC Cymru in Welsh as well.
How much does this cost on average, I wonder?

If sporting events have to be on at all, they certainly don’t need to be broadcast in numerous languages.
Sadly, Wossy and Wogan won’t be facing pay cuts…
The reason for funding farsi and arabic broadcasting? The Beeb has always played a part in British imperialism… look at the bullshit they report on the wars!
