WHY DOES THE BBC HAVE ALL THESE CORRESPONDENTS?

BBC coverage of the Chile miners rescue has topped £100,000, threatening other events, says an internal corporation memo Photo D.L. Agency

The BBC has spent so heavily on its coverage of the Chilean miners rescue it is being forced to reduce its coverage of other major events, including next month's G20 summit in Seoul and the Oscars.

A memo written by the BBC's world news editor, Jon Williams, and sent to fellow executives, says the cost of reporting the rescue will exceed £100,000.

The BBC have sent 26 people to the Chile mine rescue.  Now I don't know what kind of accountants the BBC have but £100,000 will barely cover the airfares.  That doesn't include salaries, accommodation, salaries, expenses, lap dancing clubs, etc, etc.  Why do they need 26?  Pictures will be readily available from Chilean TV, which they could buy.  They can have some fucker in the newsroom explaining technical details if necessary.  SKY, I believe have sent three.  That's the difference between a profit making company and a state dinosaur.

Why does the BBC need all these correspondents anyway.  You watch the BBC news and the people they drag up as correspondents for this and that are incredible and there are new faces all the time.  Sometimes I sit fucking gobsmacked!

It's time there was root and branch surgery on the BBC.  I see that fucker Yentob is going two years early with a £350,000 pay-off.  How much do you want to bet that he'll be gone 6 months and the BBC will bge buying programmes off  his 'independent production company'.  Piece of shite!

CHILEAN MINERS DEMAND THE RESCUE EFFORT IS SLOWED UP!

The 33 trapped miners in Chile have demanded that the Government slows up their rescue efforts, which could take until Christmas.
Asked why, a spokesman for the miners, Pablo Hernandez, sent a message through the 33cm pipe, to say that the trapped miners were now on time and a half overtime and would be worth a right few pesos when they eventually got out.
The authorities are concerned that the men get too fat and won't fit into the rescue pipe.  Snr Hernandez claims, this won't be a problem if they can send down three rubber women, a blonde, a brunette and a Inca looking one.  "Six of the men are Gay", said Snr Hernandez"and they're shagging like rabbits already, but if we can get the rubber women and maybe a few wank mags, that'll keep the rest of us happy"!
The authorities are concerned that if they can't get the men out by Christmas, the turkey, the Christmas hamper and the beautifully decorated, 12ft, Christmas tree will never fit down the pipe, however the Santiago carol singers have promised to go on a crash diet in case they have to go down and entertain the miners.
