SandyCromarty Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm not wrong and I'm not going to repeat myself and throwing silly insults displays an immaturity. And you need to read my posts carefully, I never said we would have to produce Strictly, what I did say is that we would have to buy it in. The BBC as quoted in their statement makes £500 million from licencing strictly, I never mentioned profit made from it. Check the BBC. There are many more important areas other than television to consider and find funding for, a full military service, army, navy and air force, a postal service, an upper house which we require in a democracy, and that's just the start. For years Westminster has plundered our oil revenue for mainly home counties projects, the 2012 Olympics, the Thames barrier etc etc, and after independence believe me they will for a period of years demand a slice of the oil revenue citing their financial input over the years. Money will be tight for many years initially. The Republic of Ireland was proclaimed in 1949 after breaking from the commonwealth completely, it had declared independence well before that, however the country struggled financially during those years with hundreds of thousands emigrating for work, countries are not formed overnight to what we see today and Ireland's saving grace and it's launch to it's financial well being commenced when it joined the then Common Market in 1973. That is why our SNP see's that our independence will be eased by staying in the EEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've added a stray zero there, chum https://inews.co.uk/essentials/culture/television/bbc-sells-strictly-come-dancings-samba-brazilian-tv/ So yeah, you're pretty wrong.

GTG_03 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Reporting Scotland finishing up a piece about the betrayal of clyde ship workers by the MOD by saying that it should be busier than ever.Turning a broken promise into good news for ship workers is quite something.

It isn't £90m we get back, the £90m (or thereabouts) is the amount taken out of Scotland by the BBC (i.e. not spent on services for Scotland). 24 minutes ago, welshbairn said: Chick Young. Paid via an independent production company so that it doesn't have to be declared! I think the name of it was Murray something or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I see they managed to give the good news of 1,500 new Social Security jobs being created by the Scottish government all of 15 seconds and made it the 4th headline in the pecking order. STV News rightfully gave it the top headline story. I'm convinced BBC Scotland News have some kind of directive of not headlining any "good news" story that relates to the Scottish Goverment/SNP/Independence.

You're actually more likely to get "Good News" stories relating to the Scottish Government from BBC Radio 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I am wrong and don't care, nyah". My mistake, the BBC has made £500 million in the last decade from licencing strictly. Top Gear rakes in £50 million. It is known for its clumsy newsreaders and preening soap stars, but Strictly Come Dancing has become one of the greatest money-spinners in the history of the BBC. The Mail on Sunday has established that the Saturday night favourite has raked in a staggering half a billion pounds for the Corporation in the decade since it first aired.
