Mr Clowning Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Its only £3 mil, why the secrecy ? And besides that I bet they are watching or listening to our programs anyhow so maybe they should chip in, or does it compromise the Beebs impartiality ? http://english-passport.org/2014/03/03/breaking-news-bbc-tries-to-hide-its-eu-funding-stream/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 What a none story. Is there any reason they cant apply? Do you think other people who get EU grants are somehow controlled or spied upon by the EU. £3m is such a small amount considering the cost of TV production.

Mr Clowning Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't see anything wrong with it other than being hush hush about it makes it look dodgy, if they were more open about it I doubt it would be talked about. I'm betting the Tories would love to get it privatised anyhow, so its probably just a small step on a short road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 So the blog you took it from is all about English nationalism? From reading the blog it appears to be about individuals applying for EU funding/ grants rather than a concerted effort by BBC management as an agreement with the EU. The EU dished out nearly 7,000m back to the UK tax payer last year in grants and subsidies. They are making a point about just £1m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
