The BBC receive funding from the EU

are you serious?

I'm serious, Darkwood said that the bbc was supplemented by the EU
It gets grants for research, I think about 1/2 a million last year. Compared with the 3 1/2 billion or so that it gets from the license fee I would hardly call that supplementing the license fee.
They can't use the money for program making and do you really think that journalists would lower themselves to biased reporting because the BBC gets a grant from a certain source. It's not the Telegraph we're talking about.

The millions in EU funding the BBC tried to hide | Coffee House

Now tell me they are playing with a balanced deck

I wouldn't dream of saying that, I've already mentioned the biased media in post 98.

I agree with the sums you quote but why did the BBC deliberatly hide it and not reveal it as they had a obligation to do so, when this originally came out they had some very difficult questions to answer, the 3million plus is nothing to what the tv licensee puts in and its always been argued that this is very suspicious indeed, it was eventually claimed to be for research and developement with 1million on programming but what research and what programming... that's when they went silent, this all stinks like a backhander that got exposed and to keep the lie up they had to keep it going... strange it happened after the Labour lost who the EU want to be back in the driving seat for many reasons - But hey that's just me speculating.

hmm.i think that we need to get the Sun into the equation. the Sun pushing for a No vote. after all, back in 1997, they supported the grinning money grabber blair and allowed him to destroy GB.

Yes. A nice piece of unbiased reporting from the Spectator. Small point of order; the use of the word 'secret'. Turns out it's not quite the secret they claim. They didn't need a FOI request to get this info. Even the Torygraph didn't come over quite as rabid. "The EU transparency register, where the payments are listed, states: “Grants are non-programme related projects undertaken by BBC R&D.”. So, no secret there then.

As for the whiny tone, it's not so long ago that we Scots were accused of being whingers and bad losers for pointing out BBC bias during the referendum campaign. Not the same thing?

Yes, she had the #alls to destroy the county's ability to make stuff, she destroyed social housing, she decimated community's and entire industry's for political reasons, there's an endless list of her achievements.
