BBC job cuts won’t affect … seven

By Axegrinder axeblog

It’s good to see that BBC staff are all rallying round each other in a time of need.

Staffer Max Callum has set up a Facebook group entitled: “At least the latest BBC job cuts don’t affect me… oh yes, that’s right!!!” for all those smug bastards who know their job is safe. And the grand total of BBC Facebook users that know their job is safe? Seven.

But it fares better than the more sombre group entitled “Save the BBC” which has been “set up for all the people opposed to the nature of the proposed cuts to the BBC”, which, at the time of writing, has a grand total of three members. Axe wonders if this is a sign of things to come on the almost inevitable picket lines?
