    I really admire this guy for taking this stand ! I bet the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ and their licence fee police really take him apart. He would become a real martyr then though so I wonder if they will risk it. His comments about the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ are spot on. I despair at paying the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ fee !

    He received 153 emails on his return. What greater gauge of support do you require, only another 500,000 to go.

    Yes, of course, Andrew - all those two year old typists, otherwise distracted teenagers, tea making grannies etc etc etc had better get busy to satisfy your demanding criteria for success.
    It's pretty clear where you're coming from.
    There's a place we all know where your restricted and restrictive perceptions and prognostications may be better received...

    Well done Mike Chappell. Someone needed to make a stand. For too long the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ has believed that they are the EBC. They are supposed to represent all the nations within the UK yet they seem to look at everything from a very England-centric viewpoint.

    Wake up ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ. Not everybody is English. I hop these protests spread. There were 2 protests in Wales on the same day at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ studios in Wrexham and Bangor. If the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ does not wake up soon they will find protests at every studio.

    Can't help thinking that the B.B.C. is probably the most wide-ranging, inclusive and honest broadcaster in Britain today. The Celtic League's "attack" on the B.B.C.,(as part of the League's "Operation Pheonix"), seems to attracted far less publicity than the League were hoping for. I would imagine the plans to go to London and repeat the process will attract even less attention.

    The Celtic League imagined that the B.B.C. would "intervene" and attempt to stop Mr Chappell's protest. Instead, the B.B.C. asked Mr Chappell for a copy of the recording made by the Celtic League and reproduced it here.
