A "wow"? Did I call it wrong, @shotokan101?
It seems to me this self-answered question surely belongs in one of the many extant BBC threads. And yes, post 5 by your good self and we're on to the license fee already.
Did I really call it wrong?
That's almost exactly what I was going to write. There is a lot of aid, disaster relief, and other things we spend money on being helpful and friendly to people in other countries of the world, that is very cost effective in developing trade and diplomatic relations.

The foreign office funds the overseas portion of the bbc
So it saves us all money, and enhances our security in the long run.Yeah - so what ?
Why not?Why does that need to include the BBC doing this - why doesn't the ODA provide it if it's "useful"?
I also know it's funded commercially too, certainly the likes of African social/online media, by the ad/subscription revenue from the World News channel in those parts of the world.
Yes I did. In fact I linked to it once on here. It was reporting something which was very newsworthy, but for some reason ( one can speculate) did not make it on their mainstream news.Anyone know that the BBC have a Pidgin English website for Nigerian Pidgin English speakers.
