BBC Radio 5-Live is always having a go at Benefit claimants.
They seldom mention the rich people who evade/avoid paying taxes. (including massive businesses).
This is surely clobbering the poor, and allowing the rich to get away with cheating (even breaking the law).
BBC broadcasters are highly paid in a secretive manner. The vast majority of benefit claimants are poor.
5-Live Radio should try and be more fair and balanced in the future. They are not a toffs station, their presenter may be wealthy, but most of their listeners are working class.
Even poor people have to pay the near £300 licence fee, its compulsory.
And that money pays the highly paid broadcasters. Lucky them in a time of vast unemployment and struggle to survive.
I could even have a laugh with some people who disagree with me. Especially middle class women who think I am a geriatric impractical idealist.
Very few opponents see to doubt my sincerity.
