Although it looks very much like the grand total of 50p has been lavished on this ludicrously niche TV Channel(aimed I gather at 3 men and a highland terrier ensconced in a bothy somewhere North of Castelbay), is it the nichest of the niche? Or is there a Channel that transcends even BBC Alba in terms of minscule telly audiences(Channel 5 doesnt count).

I have a friend that is in the know. BBC Alba has caused a great deal of annoyance within the Beeb as it has been set up as a cap doffing exercise to the Scots Gaelic speakers and SNP. It has a tiny audience but is set up as proper channel with a big budget and its own bandwidth. Other (bigger) niche areas have to grovel for space on the other BBC channels.

I think you're confusing me with an Aussie...now you don't want to do that do you? :'(

exactly, we kiwis are far too refined to use bizarre slang such as flamin' galah, eskie and arvo.


Now I must find my jandals so I can pop down to the dairy to buy some mellow puffs and burger rings, and then call in at the bottle store to pick up some stubbies and a slab of DB for the chilly bin before heading to the bach.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
