The one think nobody can say about kent is that you don’t know you stand with him, he is a man that has his own opinions and brings a good debate to the forums, without such people, others would be less likely to air their views, we need people like kent here, we may not agree but at least it opens up a lively debate without personally insulting each other.
I admire him as he stands by what he believes in even if I don’t agree with what he says most of the time, He will never beat about the bush.
I agree that I do like reading his postings in any debate that he enters, whether I agree with what he says or not.
I believe he makes others stand up and say things that perhaps they wouldn't if we all agreed, that is what I love about these forums you can aways listen to all opinions which help form you own.

Most on here think I love him ( and they would be right )
Can I just ask what you base this opinion on? Because I don't love him, far from it. And I'd also be surprised if many of my friends do
Clearly you're in my head again cause I read that exactly the same way you did wifey! :giggle:
Sorry Kenty!
*puts specs on* :silly:
No specs needed DG, it's entirely ambiguous.
"Most on here think THAT I love him" would presume most people think I have my own loving designs for the aforementioned person whereas:
"Most on here think, "I love him!" would suggest that most other people on SH share those same feelings. The lack of punctuation or diction renders the sentence entirely ambiguous.
Sorry, don't want to bandy semantics like a tenth rate English Language tit. My own grammar is so bad I can hardly criticise.
I can't quite get my head around the criticism of the BBC though? I was ok in the original post as it seemingly questioned the way the corporation was spending the money it raised through the licence fee. I felt that had a degree of validity. However now we seem to have moved on into questioning the very raison d'etre for the BBC's existence, how it should function and indeed whether it should function at all, with all kinds of rather absurd, and entirely contradictory, arguments being put forth against it.
As Fabio has rightly said, the BBC has never been a profit making organisation. It's remit is entirely to serve the people as best it can, which it does by producing the programmes it does each year. You can argue until you are blue in the face whether this is right or wrong based on your own ideas of capitalism, but those are the facts. The prime tenet of the BBC has been that it is unbiased. Again this can be argued against, or for, but the principles are there to ensure equality, fairness and equal representation for all. Standards which I feel are particularly British and represent the true meaning of Free Speech, the very thing you advocate so passionately (and which I totally agree with).
Sky TV is then paraded as a "decent" alternative for the BBC. However while the BBC are criticised for their increased licence fee, it seems Sky are applauded for their £46 (and in many cases much more) a month subscription fee. You argue Sky has more choice. It certainly has more channels, and the vast majority of them show nothing but repeats every single day of the week almost non-stop. The very criticism that is made against giving your money to the BBC. You then say the BBC Sports package is dismal, I agree. The reason is not some scurrilous communistic leaning to deprive the populace of Sports programmes, but rather the fact that the cost of winning the rights to these events has been pushed up ludicrously high by the likes of Sky Television! Who then pass that fee onto the public in the form of increased subscription fees. Why is this ok to do, and yet the BBC put up their licence fee by a far smaller amount and yet this is wrong? Surely if you wanted better sport on the BBC then you would not mind paying the extra £500 - £600 a year that you'd pay in Sky subscriptions to the BBC and having the Sport on there?
However this is not the argument. It never is. As usual with writers of Mr Gaunt's ilk (and I wish to make it clear that I do not include Mr Kent in this at all, his posts are always free from such nonsense), the hidden meaning is the one we are meant to take away from the article and it is this baffling notion of "political correctness" and "equality". I particularly took offence at the idea of getting rid of all the "fringe and minority" programmes. Who watches BBC Asia? Who indeed, apart from a great many in the Asian world, and a great many British Asians in this country who work damned hard, contribute greatly to society, pay their taxes and their licence fee, and who may wish to, on occasion, celebrate an aspect of their culture. That's who. It seems some people in the media feel that every British Asian, or indeed whoever the en vogue minority is to pick on that week, are all part of the problem. Tell that to your heart surgeon, or your specialist, or the pilot.
But because they are not Sun reading, angry white middle class male, we should eradicate their wishes so we can watch the football or more Eastenders?
It does him no credit to hide behind the rebuttal of his arguments by claiming everyone who does so, does so because they are cowards, politically incorrect or somehow afraid to speak the truth. That is far from the case. It is easy to espouse the language of fear, cowardice, prejudice, bigotry and try to wrap it up in clever words. However many people see through it, which is why I am guessing he has been fired from so many jobs in the past.
If you do not recognise the importance of an impartial BBC then you only need to look at the rants of Gaunt to understand why balance is needed. Especially if he garners so many supporters.
In that sense, I really do hope his ardent followers are in the minority, because if that is the case, despite all the misery and crap that has happened in recent times in this country, we may actually have a future after all.
But to get back to the original point. I would like to see a review of how the BBC spends its money, I would like to see them spend a good deal less on its "stars". I do feel money could be spent on better things and on better programmes. However that is just my opinion and I am sure you ask 100 people that question, you would get 100 different answers. To suggest that "fringe" or "minority" programmes should be got rid of to cater for the true Brit is a way of thinking that went out with Alf Garnett. While it may not appeal to some, we are a multicultural society. We are a flawed society. However those two terms are mutually exclusive. One is not the direct cause of the other and often those in society with the loudest mouths, doing the most finger pointing, regardless of what your religious, political, social, racial beliefs, are entirely the ones creating and contributing to these flaws in the first place.
In such situations impartiality, however flawed, is vital. Fortunately we have one great British institution of free speech that may occasionally allow it. The BBC.
Err.. So No... I think we should still have the licence fee... and if you read all that well done... I'll get my head out my arse in a second...
:thumbup:
I could be wrong here but the BBC took on board people’s opinion with complaint with Jonathon Ross for example. If it were a commercial run business paid for by advertising would they really care if people complained?
It does go to show that people can get changes to happen if we are unhappy, surely that is better than being lead by businesses.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong!

another lesson he will learn in time. What use are emoticons?
The ones I use might mean different things to me than to you.
So here is a few I use and the reasons why I use them.
I use this one with a cheeky smile on my face a bit like a tut and eyes raise to the ceiling, either out of embarassment after being caught out doing something silly.
I use when I blush this could be out of feeling naughty or made a complete fool of myself.
:shock: this could be when someone says something that take me by suprise and I find so funny.
:P this I would use in a bit of banter when I feel tit for tat..when something has been said in gest and I feel I have countered back.
:twisted: This I use when I feel in a mischevious and naughty mood.
:rascal: This is when I feel flirty
I have given I few of my secrets away
I would never use emoticons in a bad meaning way, if I have something to say I will say it.
What emoticons do you use and why?
