Subject: RE: BS: Cliff hanger ; damage , and damages
So the poor boy, who is likely to make millions every year from sell out tours, royalties, brand placement is suffering finacially????? If he is starving because of the media coverage, then all he has to do is approach social services or his GP to get a food bank referral. The upshot is he still makes more every year many times over to cover his basic needs, while those who need to make choices whether to pay rent, eat or heat their homes and can't even begin to dream about the social opportunities that the likes of Richard/Webb take for granted. And those for whom TV/radio is their only link to the outside world are persued with impunity is they cannot afford the license fee - yes by all means fine the BBC, but reduce it to a level to which it is needed to guarantee his basic survival after being means tested. say, £1. As an afterthought, before the award was made, Richard/Webb should have been put through the indignity of a means test which millions of people have to go through to secure their rights.
