I think the point OB was making is that she believes that as someone already paying a lot of taxes and making a positive contribution to society and to others less fortunate that may not be making the same positive contribution, she feels aggrieved by having to pay a further tax for television channel she doesn't particularly want to watch.

So she doesn't like the taxes she has to pay. Tough. That's a fact of modern life. You don't get to pick and choose what you do or don't pay for and trying to blame this (as it seems) on people who are less well off seems unnecessarily petty.

Why should *anyone* have to leave a country just because *YOU* don't like them?

I don't think she said anyone shouldleave the country - that was you, in fact telling her to leave the country.

I was quoting her words from another thread (the Muslim/ school clothing one IIRC). What's sauce for the goose...

But you can see what angle the PCBBC are going to be playing this one before they've made it.
You can see who the poor victims are going to be.  |
Excuse me, but this seems to be saying that your objection to the programme is that it isn't going to portray the story in the way that *you* think it should be.
