BBC splashed out £81,000 of licence fee cash on lavish Wimbledon hospitality event
My first thought was to wonder just how many were there to watch the tennis and how many to simply suck up and schmooze. Until recently that may have been fine, if sickening, for an independent bank. Not so much the BBC, though. IMHO.
And if they are 'doing business', are they buying or selling? If it is not a staff jolly, where I come from you only blow such money to make it.
Don't people come to the BBC to try and make a score of the £3.5B, 60M audience and worldwide access? They should be the ones throwing the party!.If it is the other way (and I know there is, and maybe even has to be, and aspect of that), is this not a sorry further sign of the creeping, one-way commercial intrusions Aunty is making. What next? No one attends a legitimate business launch because the public have pony'd up for an event they a) would be booted out of and b) may be to help promote something directly competitive?
Since when did I authorise such use of funds via my licence fee?
Between the antics of the Labour Party, their camp followers and cheerleaders in chief, this getting to be like a mix of the Last Days of the Raj and the bunker behaviour of the Fall of Berlin.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
