Paltering with necessity

Monday, January 17, 2022 15:18

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Can’t you see into yourself far enough to know that you are paltering with necessity? Are you such a feeble creature that you must be at the mercy of every childish whim, and ruin yourself for lack of courage to do what you know you ought to do? If instability of nature had made such work of me as it has of you, I’d cut my throat just to prove that I could at least once make my hand obey my will!

BBC licence fee to be frozen at £159 for two years, government confirms

Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, Ms Dorries said the government could “not justify extra pressure on the wallets of hardworking households”.

Following the two-year freeze, she said the fee will rise in line with inflation for the following four years…

In a joint statement, Mr Davie and BBC chairman Richard Sharp said the settlement would mean the BBC “will now have to absorb inflation”.

“That is disappointing,” they said, “not just for licence fee payers, but also for the cultural industries who rely on the BBC for the important work they do across the UK.”

I don’t know what ‘cultural industries’ are, but this is obviously another can kicked down the road. Those involved in the cultural industries may sleep soundly.
