SoftSabot – Life in my slippers

Over a period of time I developed a dissatisfaction with the BBC. They are in my opinion, breaking the terms of their charter.

So I took advantage of their complaints procedure and wrote to them. After a couple of weeks of no reply, I decided to write again. Another couple of weeks went by and still no response, so I wrote again, but this time as well as commenting on the lack of response to my original complaint, I also made a complaint that their complaints process wasn’t working as I hadn’t had a reply to any of my emails. So I wished to complain about their complaints process not working.

Guess what? Yup that’s right … no reply!! So this week I’m going to send a good old fashioned letter to whoever is in charge because the BBC is publicly funded and MUST answer to licence payers.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Am I the only one to have noticed how much the BBC is advertising Twitter? Almost every single day it appears in some form or other and in my view it’s tantamount to advertising.

I’m not a great supporter of the “We will jail you if you don’t give us money!!” BBC, greedy wasteful bastards that they are, but I do like their news website.

At least I did. Nowadays trying to find news on it is as hard as trying to teach a rocking horse to jump fences, their onsite search tool is appalling nd the content is blatant advertising a lot of the time and the propaganda on there beggars belief.

I am heartily sick to death of hearing about that stupid Twitter which supposedly everybody uses but I actually don’t know a single person who does?
