Panorama investigation into Comic Relief 10/12/13 10:40PM BBC1

[arista]

[The programme, which was at
the centre of a row that drew
in BBC director general
Tony Hall in October after
it was postponed, is expected to
air on Tuesday 10 December.]



Good News Tony Hall.
About time


[The Panorama charities
documentary could have
caused embarrassment for the BBC
if it had aired in the run-up
to Children in Need, which t
ook place this year on 15 November,
and had a negative impact
on its fundraising activities.
The documentary reportedly
examines how Comic Relief
allegedly invested £150m
of funds it had raised for
up to eight years, before
passing the money on to
other causes. Some of the
money is alleged to have
been invested in tobacco
firms and an arms company. ]

we pay about 70% of our total incomes one one tax or another...tax is meant to ensure there aren't loads of kids in need.

[Kizzy]

I can't believe they're allowed to get away with witholding this kind of information, so they can effectively 'rinse' the nation... how is it even legal?!

[King Gizzard]

Even weirder considering it's its own channel they're doing an investigation about

[the truth]

Even weirder considering it's its own channel they're doing an investigation about

yea they've been doing for years now. look how the jimmy saville affair turned out>? FOLLOWED by the newsnight farce and the £500,000 pay off for the cief exec after just 3 or 4 months? all tax payers money?

cover ups, feminist agendas....corporate bias.....absurd news agendas that spend more time on Syria, dave beckham and monarchy that actual news that affects the lives of the british tax payers/tv license payers
its election coverage is absolute bilge too

gone are the days where we have to show unquestioning devotion to this bent organization....get rid of the whole fiasco or sack the lot and start again

bbc is utter ****e...dishonest complacent smug unaccountable over rated classist elitist talentless overpaid under producing crap.

whens the last great drama the last great comedy? ha
1988?

meanwhile hbo and the like churn own endless quality

this country makes me pewk...compulsory tax to pay for this drivel?

ps paxman is a **** interviewer a shallow cartoon villain with zero depth who never gets anything out of anyone....in the glory years we had whicker, frost, robin day, brian waldon....depth

now we have over paid dummies reading from dummy cards

[Comic Relief to review
investments after row over
BBC Panorama report]
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/dec/10/comic-relief-review-investments-bbc-panorama


[Kevin Cahill confirmed for the first time
on Tuesday that BBC Comic Relief still
had money in managed funds
that invested in tobacco,
arms and alcohol companies]

[Kizzy]

I was meaning more why were they allowed to postpone the airing of the documentary.
Considering they must have known that the findings would've put many off donating?
Did they offer an explanation as to why the information on investments from 2009 onwards is being withheld?

[arista]

A man phoned into the wright stuff
he raised 100's of pounds for BBC Comic Relief
but will no longer do so.

He is Angry as he did not want his money invested
he wanted his cash to go right away to the children.
