Idiot still likening Oasis to The Beatles

Oasis, not united brotherly love but their need for a pension, have put aside their artistic differences and mutual hatred, for one last cash grab. Unfortunately, several gormless individuals still think they are musical geniuses rather than just an irritating nasal twang.

One rock historian pointed out: ‘They are not comparable. The Beatles sold over 600 million records, while Oasis got a fruity drink named after them. The Beatles had 21 US No1s, while Oasis used to busk outside a McDonald’s. The Beatles changed the 60s, Oasis have not changed their haircut since the 90s.’

The only thing guaranteed is that they will be as $hit second time around. Despite all this, one middle-aged Brit-Popper declared: ‘They were the Taylor Swift of my generation’ – which proves the point.

Rutland demands its fair share of BBC spending

The BBC needs to spend as much on television content in Rutland as it does elsewhere, say protestors.

They claim the corporation spends almost nothing producing content in Rutland.  Even the TV series Rutland Weekend TV had been filmed in London. Adding the detective series Shetland could just as easily have been filmed locally and called Rutland instead. Licence fee payers in Rutland ‘deserve better,’ they said.

‘We’re calling for a year-on-year increase in locally produced content until we are getting our fair share of BBC spending. We are fed up being the butt of the joke,’ said parish councillor Colin Dull, citing the band called the Rutles and their album ‘A Hard Day’s Rut’, and the cartoon series Beavis and Rutt-Head.

'The BBC should play a greater role in Rutland - portraying and shaping the Rutland identity,' he added.

A BBC spokesperson said: 'The BBC is committed to audiences in Rutland and indeed everywhere in Great Britain, and to all of the media and creative businesses based in Rutland, if indeed there are any.'  He went on to say that Rutland had benefited economically because two episodes of "tweet of the day" on Radio 4 were recorded nearby, and a part-time BBC researcher had lived in Oakham until 2012.
