people who still have a tv licence are fucking idiots, just get something like netflix, amazon, nowtv or the such and use catch up apps for the none bbc channels, it's far cheaper.

Can someone explain to me what the hell legitimate purpose is BBC Pidgin supposed to serve? Looking it up it's basically a language that's used to communicate when you don't know how to speak to each other, which to sounds like it's less of a language and more like advanced gibberish. I imagine I've gotta be wrong on that and that it's more logical then that surely, they can't be stupid enough to write literal gibberish, so please can someone correct me.

Its a false flag operation to increase the amount of racism British whites feel so they'll feel more guilty and let their dystopian government fuck them in the ass some more.

Ha ha how funny, but I still want my serious answer mate, I'll tell the BBC you don't have a TV licence and get them on your ass if you don't motherfucker.

Because the BBC broadcasts to places which don't have effective english.

Pidgin is the answer.

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

Imagine forcing people on a pension to buy a license for garbage woke journalism that fought for their ability to be out and proud degenerates. Yikes, die faster BBC.

When people have to pay for their TV service, they become more selective with what they watch. It's not surprising to see people avoiding the crappiest of the offerings on this channel.

Get woke, go broke proven once again.

Not as wasteful as BBC Pidgin but just about: https://www.bbc.com/pidgin

Okay, I may argue in defense of dialects, but what the fuck. Nobody needs this. Anybody who can read Pidgin should be able to read Standard UK and vice versa.

You can count me as one of the fuckers who died to this site because that shit made me choke on my goddamn water.
Best shit I've read in the last few months.

In former British colonies in Africa the levels of literacy are low, and the people speak English with a very strong accent. In some cases, they don't speak another language. Maybe there's some Dutch influence in there too. English spelling can be kind of strange sometimes, and the language generally used by news media (at least, news media that thinks it's worth more than the rag it's written on) can be difficult for people with the reading comprehension of 5 year olds. Thus, pidgin english, which is written phonetically and includes grammatically dubious vocal inflections, is easier for semi-illiterates to read.
In countries like Nigeria even the non-pidgin news can be a bit weird to read- Naija is an example of this.
BBC pidgin is arguably worthwhile because it's bringing the news to people abroad- of course these people don't give a a fuck about Theresa May or Prince Harry, but I suppose it shows the sprit which News organisations should run on- spreading the fucking news. Most of the BBC is a waste of money anyway and BBC Pidgin constitutes a miniscule part so

Spoiler: my stupid opinion

Bluntly speaking? These countries suffer without the true control of the 1st world. They have no good roads. They have no clean water or stable currency. We're expected to take them seriously as fellow states, but they're barely civilised thanks to poverty and rampant, unapologetic corruption. The rich get educated enough to fuck over their former kin and that's how you end up with such insane disparities of wealth. The people of these countries are starving, sickly, and uneducated, but their leaders live comfortably and can at least fucking read because they got rich off the gold industries.
Now more people from these central African countries, the younger generation with ambition and a little money, are getting scholarships and opportunities to go abroad and learn languages, but it will come to nothing in the long term because so many of their countrymen are uneducated and unambitious. We are pouring money into aid-work trips and middle-class feel good excursions to build a hut and give out sandwiches, but in the end none of it will matter or mean anything.
