    As a network the BBC is a joke. As a news group they are a leftist fraud.

    How much profit did the BBC generate last year on what investment? [If you don't detect the flashing strobes of the liberal bias in the BBC news - you are beyond comatose.]

    The BBC is a public corporation not a private company. It only has a duty to make a profit in order to reinvest in itself. It has no shareholders to satisfy.

    Any profit is to keep the licence fee down and is mostly earned from international sales.

    Anyway, I asked for proof, not rhetorical questions.

    You made the statement. You can either support it or retract it.

    8. “what does this have to do with the BBC?”

    Obviously, it calls your veracity into question.

    Sorry, I'm just feeling a little mischevious today, and the trolls are desperately predictible...

    Feel free to be nasty about the BBC, she is a Grand Old Lady and not easily ruffled.

    Here is mercopress confirming what I had said many months ago:

    ”Clarkson became notorious in Argentina for his 'provocative' Top Gear program using cars with plates (H982 FKL)”

    NO ONE knew of him or his show in Argentina before that episode, unlike the claims by the British-supremacist crowd here that everyone from Argentina to Siberia and all the way out to Alpha Centauri and environs knows what Top Gear is.

    you should be thankful to MP as well.

    It seems that, for those of us who do not live in ARg. and those who are not Jewish, we would not be aware of the racism, and anti-semitism that allowed 85 Jewish Argentine citizens to be murdered and the identity of the Iranian perpetrators to be covered up by the Government.

    That really looks bad on Argentina.

    I'm not sure how much cost Mercopress to write, edit and publish this pointless article that has fuck all to do with the south atlantic.
    He isn't doing the BBC show so you wasted your time. Are you going to write an article now about him not doing the show???
