Flights Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'd assume that it means the BBC can broadcast people being racist and saying racist things but they'll have to do so impartially. "Person X thinks this, person Y disagrees..." kinda thing...?xxAh I get you, odd it's only the BBC that can do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 It could be because they're not a commercial organization exactly.It's a shame that none of the righty papers are making their comments section available on the story. I was looking forward to reading a bunch of 'I'm not racist, but...' posts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ah I get you, odd it's only the BBC that can do it though.Imagine if Top Gear was on itv, or Sky1, and the lazy mexican jokes got aired. Imagine how fast a lot of companies would pull ads from that time slot? It's probably for the best that only BBC can do it.Still, I'm still up for ads on the beeb.

Soda Jerk Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 It probably doesn't matter if they are playing tracksuit-metal, dubstep or some sort of tribal world music. They will still be absolutely terrible. I have no idea how they ever got so huge. Just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 http://finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaire-s-daughter-pays-record-sum-for-nyc-pad.htmlFormer Citigroup chairman Sandy Weill listed his 6,744-sq-ft apartment at 15 Central Park Westfor an astonishing $88 million in November, promising to donate the proceeds of the sale to charity.Now comes news that Ekaterina Rybolovleva, the 22-year-old daughter of Russian billionaireDmitriy Rybolovlev, is buying the condominium. Rybolovleva is currently studying at an undisclosed U.S. university and plans to stay in the apartment when visiting New York. According to a source familiar with the sale, she paid the full asking price of $88 million, setting a record for highest individual transaction in New York City history.Here is the official statement from her representatives:A company associated with Ekaterina Rybolovleva, daughter of a well-known businessmanDmitriy Rybolovlev, has signed a contract to purchase an apartment at 15 Central Park West, New York. The apartment is a condominium currently owned by the Sanford Weill Family.Ms. Rybolovleva is currently studying at a US university. She plans to stay in the apartment when visiting New York. Ms. Rybolovleva was born in Russia, is a resident of Monaco and has resided in Monaco and Switzerland for the past 15 years.”The apartment, in one of the toniest post-war buildings in Manhattan, has 10 rooms including 4 bedrooms, a wraparound terrace of more than 2,000 sq. feet, 4 bedrooms and 2 wood burning fireplaces.“This sale is an outlier. It works out to be about $13,000 per sq. foot, the highest on record, for anything, that has ever occurred,” says Jonathan Miller, chief executive of real estate appraiser Miller Samuel, “What is ironic is that when Sandy Weill bought it for less than half this amount, he paid the highest price per sq foot to date in that building, around, $6,400 per sq. foot. He is again setting a record.”The previous New York City record had been set back before the market crash when investor Christopher Flowers paid $53 million for a townhouse at 4 east 75th Street. He resold the property on August 15 for just over $36 million.There were two other very notable sales in the city this year. Russian composer Igor Krutoy paid a record $48 million for a condo at the Plaza in March, and a townhouse at 16 East 69th Street sold for $48 million in July.Rybolovleva is the second daughter of a billionaire to make huge real estate news this year. Back in July, heiress Petra Ecclestone, daughter of UK Formula One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, apparently paid $85 million for Spelling Manor, the 56,500-square foot mansion that was previously owned by Candy Spelling, widow of famed TV producer Aaron Spelling, whose works include the “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Charlie’s Angels,” and “Dynasty” series.Rybolovleva’s father Dmitriy sold the majority of his stake in Uralkali, the fertilizer business that made him rich, for $6.5 billion in 2010. He is already known in U.S. real estate circles for his May 2008 purchase of Donald Trump’s Palm Beach mansion, Maison de L’Amitie. He paid $95 million in cash for that residence, $25 million less than what Trump had originally asked. It was apparently the largest single residence price concession of all time. He may not own that house much longer though. His wife Elena, who filed for divorce in Pam Beach court in 2009, is seeking transfer of ownership of the former Trump mansion. He himself spends much of his time at his home in Monaco and is likely to buy the struggling French football club, AS Monaco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Remember that guy who chucked a ticket dodger off the train? According to the newspaper I'm reading, he's been charged with assault. Fucking ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Fucksake. Technically, it's assault but physically pushing a cheeky little fare dodger off a train doesn't merit taxpayers money to follow through with an assault case. If he'd smacked fuck out of the boy maybe but stepping in to help out the ageing ticket inspector and get the train moving again should not land the guy with a criminal record. What's the world coming to etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 That boy was always going to get done for assault. Hopefully the faredodger'll be slapped for breach of the peace or stealing or whatever it is and get a big fine from Scotrail so he cannae go oot wi' his wee pals.

Guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah, you can't just assault someone any time you feel aggrieved. Deserves to be charged, regardless of how much of an arse the boy was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Wasn't even assault. He picked the lad up and because the lad struggled to get back into the train, he hurt himself. Case closed, little cunt should have paid for the right ticket instead of a being a cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
