Right ****ing dodgy lot on here, no one pays for **** all. Anyway BBC don't care about any of you, people remember when they shut done BBC606 and didn't give a **** about millions of signed up football fans. Then Mick out the goodness of his heart came and rescued us all.
I used to love that at Christmas Raiders of the Lost ark - check Star Wars - check Gremlins - check Back to the future - check Close encounters of the 3rd kind - check Ghostbusters - check although I realise when you were a kid it was probably Doris Day and Rock Hudson on the moving pictures box
I don’t remember how many subscribers it had, but I’d imagine it was in the hundreds of thousands. Don’t know how much it cost to pay a handful of people to manage that but it was a kick in the nuts when they scrapped it There were a few other sites that popped up after BBC606. I remember one called ‘the real 606’ that copied the BBC format. I laid my hat here early doors and stuck with this one. Remember chatting to Mick quite a bit who said they’d set this one up a couple of years before, mainly for Scottish footie but when BBC shut down he thought they might as well expand it and gather some of the users from there.
They continued the Archers one after all the others had been binned which didn't go down well the the users of the disabled forum which Luv , ,Red Hadron Collider and a n other "visited" once
In other Trump news relating to 'that' election US President Donald Trump has pardoned his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and dozens of other allies who stood accused of trying to overturn the result of the 2020 election. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1m321r73g4o And this is the problem now. For all of the misdemeanours that Trump enacted during that election, claiming it was fraudulently stolen from him. And all of those who supported him to try and get it overturned. Trump can now say, the BBC lied about it, they are fake news, they can't be trusted. The idiot editor who produced that Panorama programme has just handed that to him on a plate
She was my late Uncle Jack's 'get out of jail' card ... his wife was Dutch, and actually bore more than just a passing resemblance, come to think about it...
Judge rules that Essex (Bell) Hotel can still house asylum seekers, against the council wishes. I honestly don't get it, why antagonise local people, let alone the cost in policing and security for them to be there. We are supposed to be moving asylum seekers out of hotels, so why not make them the first and remove the problem, let alone the cost of constant court challenges, it's bonkers.
Judges are contrained by this inconvenient concept called the law. They can't just make **** up, unlike the media and the flag shaggers on twatter, so regardless of what local and national politicians want them to say, they're actually going to repeat what the law says.
Where did anyone make up ****? My point which I clearly stated was why antagonise people when Labour have constantly promised to move asylum seekers out of hotels, point being put those at the Bell Hotel on the priority list to be moved - because the costs will otherwise spiral even more if they don't due to the requirement of police, security guards and more people clogging up the court system. This isn't difficult mate, afterall Labour have sat in the shadows for 14 years seemingly with no plan and no ideas. While you are here, I noted unemployment has gone up again today and this will all be because of Rachel Reeves policies at the the last budget, instead of creating jobs we are losing them through total incompetence by the party now in power. ****ing dreading what they are going to do at the end of the month in the next budget with hospitality on it's ****ing knees. I hear she's going for private pensions? that should be fun. I know she's promised not to go for bankers, ****ing hell.
And regardless of the flag shaggers and the media as Archers likes to band about, let's not forget what migrant inflamed the problem at the Bell Hotel: None of this from there was made up ****... Hadush Kebatu is an Ethiopian national and asylum seeker who was convicted of sexual assault in the UK in September 2025. He is primarily known due to a high-profile incident in October 2025 where he was mistakenly released from prison instead of being transferred for deportation, triggering a three-day police manhunt.
