Good Riddance

Auntie would never admit it, but I reckon so many people were withholding the license fee until Jonathan Ross went, that the BBC has refused to renew his contract. Will they now resume payment? I'm not sure.

    So in other words....you don't know if this was happening before, and you don't know if it will continue afterwards? Excellent post.

    They'll never admit it of course, but I reckon so many people were writing in asking for you to do it that they had no choice but to get rid of Jonathan Ross. Will you get the gig now? I'm not sure.

    I have a feeling (actually, it's more than that...) that this is the beginning of the end of the license fee. Unless they give the license-payers the right to elect the people in charge of policy and in overall charge of employment. As long advocated by me, among others, both on here and elsewhere.

    Prig, they certainly know where I am.

    So many, mostly abusive and unpublishable, commenta on this in such a very short time. Looks like, in their own way, they are admitting it after all.

    What a magnificient victory. If the BBC cannot afford to employ him because of the backlash then no one dependent on advertising ever will. He's finished.

    We all remember someone just like that at school. Ross has taken it for his kind, from all the rest of us.

    Next on the hit list, footballers...

    The World Cup is coming up, all over the TV schedules.

    So your devoted bodyguard of super-cool male tutees and their mates are football-hating aesthetes are they? If it wasn't for the photograph at the top of the page I'd never believe that this was the same David Lindsay. Which David Lindsay is the real one and which is a persona?

    All my tutees are devoted. Super-cool or not. Male or not. Football-hating or not. Aesthetes or not.

    And I am devoted to them.

    His tutees make up the backbone of his Brown Trousers movement. They intend to march on the BBC and take it over. Lindsay is already writing his speech which he intends to read on the 10 o'clock news the day he storms Television Centre.

    Oh, no, they are far classier and more interesting than you.

    The Myth of Mosley, I see. Put about by Communists to make it look as if their "defeat" of him as important. Making them important.

    Neither of those things was true of them at the time, although one of them has since come to be.
