Chuka Adviser Agreed Entwistle Pay Off…While Watching Strictly
£110,000-a-year part-timer Lord Patten has hardly endeared himself to critics by signing off George Entwistle’s £450,000 golden goodbye. But who were the other guilty men and women who helped make the decision?
During this weekend’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing Patten held a conference call with lawyers and two members of the BBC Trust’s remuneration committee, Anthony Fry and Diane Coyle.
They're all crying! #scd—
Diane Coyle (@diane1859) November 11, 2012
Taking a leaf out of her boss’ book, Coyle is paid £70,610-a-year of license fee payers’ cash to work just two and a half days a week for the BBC. And what does she do in her spare time, other than watching Strictly with a glass of red that is? Last year Coyle was an unpaid adviser to none other than Chuka Umunna, helping the two-faced shadow business secretary with his policy review.
Chuka was quick to criticise Phillip Schofield but has been oddly quiet about the former BBC DG…
UPDATE: Coyle has got in touch to clarify that she was actually drinking white wine, not red.
UPDATE II: And here’s the proof:

I’ve met 100s of interesting people
Can I have your autograph?
Of course, have a free pen as well.
Henry, are you over 50? Could I interest you in some insurance?
Scratch at the surface and all the rotten left wing progressive maggots come crawling out from under the BBC customer trust facade.
The BBC suffer from what might be termed Right-blindness. They are blinded to or by anything to the right of centre in British politics.
Until the management at BBC wakes up and realises the body is riddled with this affliction, it will carry on making the same mistakes, making groundless accusations against Tories and maybe the occasional Orange Booker.
Remember, this time last year the BBC were apologising on-air for implying that the PM had “nobbled” Andrew Tyrie. The original report had been shown on News at Ten with an eudience of millions. The apology was hidden away on News 24 during rush-hour.
there is no way chukka family avoided paying normal people’s tax on house purchase
not worth googling that
Oi…you’re plagiarising my story about that nice man Parky!!!

Michael, why don’t you take a lesson from Silent Bob? He never brags, and always has something of interest to say!
I will dedicate my next sloppy toilet filling to the BBC
I’m Michaels’ love child.
What I would like to see is a chart with all the BBC management staff laid out like a family tree together with their salaries and titles.From I can see they seem to have layer after layer of people doing almost the same jobs at unbelievably high salaries and a lot of them dont seem to be very good at it.Come on Government lets see the datails all laid out,after all it is our money.!

The BBC have a head of news a head of news BBC television someone else in charge of Newsnight who were all not aware of the dangers of naming the wrong man or could not be bothered to point out it would be absolutely spiffing marvellous darling if you named the right man who were all there when the Jimmy Savile thing was pulled by Newsnight so if these multiple people cannot do their jobs why are they still there whyle a guy who only came in to the BBC after the Savilke Newsnight fiasco resigns?
Apart from your awful grammar…what’s all that got to do with my Dad?
You are a nob,but more interesting then your “yawn” father!!!
i WAS TOO BUSY WATCHINH THE x-FACTOR
I will not be dictated to by a man with no hair! The BBC is all about providing quality for the licence fee payer. Quality is our watchword – Quality, Quality, Quality – the three Qs!
chris(my turn next)Patten,set the precedent early for the size of pay offs as there are going to be quite a few for him and his troughing mates in the near future,for Gods sake do something about it ,someone with a backbone
Blind leading the criminally incompetent.
Coyle appears to be another central-casting example of Labour-supporting media wimmin at the BBC – cropped hair, turkey neck and rotten taste in TV programmes.
What eyebrows she has. Denis Healey needs to watch out.
Coyle, it sounds like a bit of Irish to me
Who watches the pile of junk Strictly? I don’t. It is time for a huge clearout at the BBC. They are all labour arselickers.
Quite. The woman clearly has the intellectual capacity of a toad.
Oi!
Don’t cast aspersions on toads.
Sorry, I know they do a good job, within their capabilities, eating snails in my garden. It’s just that this woman’s non-jobs aren’t about eating snails in my garden.
Lady Waad says Strictly was much better without Brucie last week. Eighty years in show-business and he still can’t tell a two-line joke!
He may not be able to tell jokes, but he is creepy. A lot of creepy people in TV these days.
They taught me in investment banking to grant huge bonuses and payoffs…
So I apply the same principle to the BBC…
It is the right thing to do
And we are all in this together
You forgot “One Nation”, might as well use all the clichés
BBC Non Executive Director Marcus Agius, ousted Chairman of Barclays and married to Miss Rothschild, is also feeding at this trough…
Why aren’t the Tories pushing all these sinecures to the front of the debate? Come on Dave time to park the Tory tank on the BBC’s lawn.
Sadly, you’re wasting your time expecting Cameron to take on the BBC or even Labour. He is simply another LibLabCon pinko timeserver who wants an easy life while watching Britain go down the pan.
and trying to get us involved in a war with Syria.
I know.
I saw that pic and thought it was goodbye to Injury Lawyers 4 U. Some hope
I slipped up at the BBC and was awarded £450,000
Did Esther call Injurylawyers4u 4u?
No, she was too busy getting into her ill-fitting skin suit.
She is married to BBC News’ Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.
Who – Esther?
Umuna was prolly banging one out as Fern Brittain tangoed her bulging clunge across the dance floor. You’ve got to have a clear mind before making these important decisions…
Thanks for that wonderful image….
She is also an advisor to EDF Energy
Like the awful Patten…
And Gordon Brown’s brother
Wheels within wheels
Anything to sell out on Britain what?!
That would be Electricite de France, the French Government owned company, Non? What are these foreigners doing over here in any case.
(Don’t know how you do accents on ‘e’s. We don’t need them in English.
Alt Gr ‘e’ => é
ééééé -Ooo yes! You learn something every day as BBC personnel are finding out.
‘Tories lower than scum’- yes sounds like a BBC person. I note that Patten was quoted as saying that he wasn’t going to let Murdoch force him out. The anti-centre/centre right is obvious everywhere, right to the top.
Brown sold British Energy to EDF where his brother was an executive.
Maggie couldn’t even sell it
How does one become a socialist multi-billionnaire?
For a price, Tony, Cherie, Polly et al will inform you.
But, the price has to be right.
Half listening to the news I heard something about rigging energy prices or profiting from rigging the prices ,I do hope it,s not true,because that would mean another enquiry and then some of these very conscientious people would be in the limelight again
Golden goodbye? More like a golden shower; the BBC and their Liebore allies who are doing the pissing all over the British public
Labourites are totally useless at most things but extremely competent when it comes to spending other people’s money.
….on themselves and their mates.
Or on us.
She looks a right dog that Coyle. Time to get rid of left wing parasites.
she has a lesbian haircut too
And a big muff like that bird out of the film ’1984′
Is that movie available on Netflicks ?
Biggest muff I ever saw in a film belonged to Glenda Jackson – The Music Lovers or may have been Women in Love (or could have been both). Looked like she had a small bear down there
Glendas muff looked more like a busby
I knocked one out to it as a teenager, sadly we didnt havevideos in those days so I had to just use the image burned into my mind
Selohesra is close! It was a hungry beaver,though now more like a worn out scrubbing brush-sorry Glenda you left wing shite hawk
You forgot to mention that the charmingly named “Mrs Coyle” is in fact married to some other BBC fucker, mentioned in an article in the Telegraph this morning!
…as I just see was noted above by Mr Milliband! ‘Cellan-Jones-Coyle’ has something deliciously BBC about it
Sheep-shagging ring!
we’ll still vote Labour
and spy for the Russians:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9674630/Royal-Navy-submariner-met-Russian-secret-agents-after-collecting-top-secret-codes.html
So will we.
I’m the future PM!
PMT that is.
Yes you can!
it’s clear that the BBC, the Labour Party and their front organisation: the Bureau for Investigative Journalism are all working hand in glove to smear and denigrate their political opposition, particularly the Conservatives and UKIP.
That a public service broadcaster, compulsorily funded, on pain of imprisonment, by the British public, is behaving in such a blatantly biased and underhand way is a disgrace. Cameron should buck himself up and start the ball rolling to scrap the licence fee for this discredited and shambolic organisation.
He won’t though.
True.
+1
And who is lefty academic Coyle married to? None other than BBC technology correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones. Coyle on the BBC Trust and married to a BBC employee – doesn’t that represent a conflict of interest? Maybe that’s why technology ignoramus and Apple sycophant Cellan Jones who never lets the facts stand in the way of a good story still has his job? The back-scratching self- service brigade marches on with their snouts firmly in the trough with two fingers up to the taxpayer….
The BBC is rotten to the core and institutionally biased and corrupt. Why are millions of British people still forced by law to fund this stinking hulk?
Agree entirely,what’s needed is a very large enema to wash all the accumuellated shit away!
No wonder they keep their maiden names. Mrs Cellan-Jones wouldn’t want everyone to know who she’s married to, now would she.
People might talk.
I assume that the guardianista/BBC/ Nulab axis is so small and incestuous that these connections are considered to be entirely normal and unexceptional.
And they accuse UKIP of being xenophobic Little Englanders!
At least he’s married to a woman.
Ummuna is also an example of a dumbed down politician, sadly all too common. Trouble is, Umunna thinks himself to be wonderful when the opposite is true.
Ummuna thinks he’s Barry O’Bumberclart….
Racist!!!!!!
A quintet of Hunts
I think the science is settled now and the matter is beyond debate: I am an absolutely c_u_n_t.
With the Unions funding Labour, Labour controlling the BBC, it no no wonder no wants to do a decent days work.
Getting £450,000 for 54 days work it no no wonder no wants to do a decent days work (sic)
Hooray for socialism!
The ugly bytch Diane can just undo the agreement. Failure and inept incompetences should not be rewarded. She is barking up the wrong tree if she thinks I am paying for that crap. I WILL HAVE MY SAY IN COURT. MY AIM IS TO FINISH THE BBC ONCE AND FOR ALL!
The BBC have something about the camel toe about them
I thought Cameltoe was a Tory?
We only know him as a twat
He gave that impression while in Opposition. Sadly, an impression was all it turned out to be.
Try moving that round one-eighty degrees
(Though they still reckon that they’re the bee’s knees)
Given what they produce and what they stew in
Guess again to what they are much more akin

Diane Coyle has managed to achieve the impossible, getting teenagers to pick up a book on economics.
Sex, Drugs And Economics
Must be due to the title – covers 2 big issues dear to their hearts.
Big Issue? Would you like to buy a copy?
I’m standing outside Tesco selling them now. Come and meet a temporary celebrity.
Don’t you wish were still a teenager, especially with the first item
It has all gone very quiet on the Hush Puppies fondling the plums allegations
Listen chaps I’ve got a great idea.
a) set up a national broadcaster
b) tax everyone in the country 5bn quid a year to fund it with criminal proceedings if they refuse.
c) employ thousands of myopic middle managers of no particular talent.
d) fill an enormous bucket with all the money
e) get stuck in!!
Waheyyy!!!
How about calling it the BBC?
Fill yer boots!!
I’m shorting everything at the moment.
FTSE,Dow Jones,Gold,Oil.
You name it I’ve gone short.
Shorting gold?
How do you think the US will deal with any fiscal cliff? They’ll print their way out of it. The last thing you should be doing is shorting any tangible asset. Oil. Gold. Property. Even the DOW will hold its value better than the mass-printed greenback.
Go long on gold and silver. Best to own the physical stuff though, not just a piece of paper you own some theoretical gold in a vault which has long been empty.
FTSE still a better bet than savings.
I believe Cellan Jones to be one of those types who, after adjusting themselves in the ‘gentlemans area’, sniffs his fingers….
Urgh…do you have to???
Ther’s no way he can do that he’s had his head up his a**e for years…
Coyle’s correction of what wine she was drinking in light of the very serious concerns that have been raised about the BBC just demonstrates how arrogant and out of touch she is. She might think it clever but whilst she is enjoying her privileged, minimum working hours maximum remuneration as a professional champagne socialist the ordinary “little people” are struggling to pay their energy bills, thanks in no small part to policies on climate change. And if they want the dubious pleasure of watching TV as they fret about whether to keep warm or to eat they have the BBC licence fee extorted from them.
Her comment was worthy of Marie Antoinette and that is obscene coming from a supposed socialist. She should resign or be sacked.
Let us hope 28-Gate now goes MSM and is reported by every broadcaster worldwide.
Cameron loves the BBC, so we can all swivel:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/iainmartin1/100189302/the-best-friend-the-bbc-has-right-now-is-david-cameron/
Cameron loves most things, that’s his MO.
But a destroyed brand is a destroyed brand and some people seem to forget that the McAlpine smear is merely a side scandal (served up by the BBC themselves) in an attempt to deflect from the huge police investigation over Savile and the 30 other BBC employees past and present that 300+ people are alleging some sort of sex crime against. Never mind the institutional facilitation and cover-up of these crimes that is likely to emerge in any serious enquiry.
comment of the week
No acting talent needed in those parts…
That’s not a queue. They always dress like that.
They are all naturals. Mind you Abbott is the biggest gangster, robbing the tax payer of £65k a year.
Don’t forget us!
How depressing.
They might just get jobs, start a business, work for a genuine charity, practice a sport to the point of excellence.
But no. Jus’ get rich and famous (or die tryin’) playing/being a gangsta, or maybe a rapper innit. Bitches everywhere, bling, bust a cap in any homies ass dat dis’respec’ dem.
Utter fantasy world, laden with misery. But clearly Diane feels like ‘celebrating’.
i’m a piece of human crap
i got the dollar sign flashing on my baseball cap
gonna catch me a bus and head downtown
another long day jus’ hanging around
gonna smoke me a reefer and take a stroll
hang my trainers from a telegraph pole
i ain’t got no brain it’s just a piece of quartz
check out my trousers you can see my shorts
ooh! you can see my shorts
BTW
Where are we with all those tax avoiding schemes used by senior BBC employees ?
“Now why would I want to take this ‘poisoned chalice’?”, asked Enters, quite visibly incredulous that the offer was even being made.
“We’ve got all kinds of shit on everyone in this God-forsaken outfit, you included, George. No-one’s budget and spending, in this type of operation, could stand up to scrutiny before a Parliamentary committee. You know, and I know, plenty of quid go south. You may not be an all-time champion at it, George, in fact you probably don’t even make the ‘Europe’ places, but a word here and there, and there’ll be plenty of snooping into how much is ‘wasted’ if not outright pilfered in your department.”
“OK, you’ve said why SOMEONE could be ‘persuaded’ to take it– but why me? What have I done to anyone to make them want to do me in professionally?”
“Well that’s it, isn’t it, George– not so much what you’ve been doing, as what you haven’t been, and that’s, getting any younger. This is a young man’s game, and you’ve been around long enough to know that. At least you should have been able to figure that out by now.”
“All right, I get it, you want an ‘older experienced hand at the tiller’. You want someone of my age, with a long CV with the company to be a figurehead. OK– but what happens the next time the shit hits the fan? You’re setting me up as a fall guy, don’t think I haven’t sussed that!”
“Yes, George, a well-paid fall guy, who will do his best Sergeant Schultz impression, and take the money and run, and collect a nice BBC pension augmented by the rise in pay to the Director’s post.”
“Why do I feel like I have no choice in the matter?”
“You have a choice, George– it’s up or out. Now line your pocket for all your troubles in taking one for the team, if you have the sense God gave a goose. Now, if you have no more questions, I’ll officially release the news of your appointment…”
They think the brother is stealing it?
Get to Aston Uni quick, there is a TWOK taking place
There’s a TWAT in place.
Who gives a flying fuck???
That would be Birmingham Technical College, would it?
Not exactly. It boasts that its graduates find themselves more employable than those from Oxbridge. Hardly any of them go into politics or the leeching professions.
Yes, Tony Hayward former CEO of BP went there.
No! Aston’s OK.
It’s Birmingahm Poly your thinking of (aka University of Central England, aka Birmingham City University) who churn out Meeja Studies ‘graduates’, ACT-ors (I say act-TORS, dear boy) and HR Managers by the bucket load.
Thick twat can’t even spell ‘university’.
Obviously English is a foreign language to Chukker.
You know what, Ummuna is more boring than Sally Bercow.
Ber cow
Did Diane Coyle advise him to tweet that?
Fuck off you media whore piece of shit. No, really, fuck off.
I do hope it was still in the box.
Ohh I say

Hislop will be taking his place in the leftish defence of our esteemed corporation.
He knows which side his bread is buttered.

I presume that is a joke – that she got in touch to correct you about what wine she was drinking ? You can’t be serious ?
its no joke thats the problem
If Mr Cameron announces in the next few days he is closing down the BBC I will be absolutely delighted because it will make my Christmas .
I do not think I will be in a minority of one either . I mean to say when they closed down the News of the Screws there were a few crocodile tears for a week or so but now the only person who misses it is old man Murdoch .
You won’t be in the minority but it will never happen because unless Dave Cameron, at least Rupert Murdoch has balls and a spine.
*unlike
*still unclear
I think he’ll wait until Scotland yard have a load of BBC past and present employees in the dock and when the corporate wide facilitation of sex crimes and procurement of victims, for some of their seedier celebs, becomes apparent. The BBC brand will be destroyed, the decision to get rid of them would have been made whether the politicians like it or not.
Finally found. This is what is leading to climate change

No
Its this which creates massive climate change
And other assorted WAGs and shags…
No, the aviation industry’s to blame:
So Chuka Umunna is nothing to do with George Entirely Useless’s huge pay off then?
I’m feeling sorry for him …..
Remember Mitt Romney? I bet he’s just sitting at home, wanking and crying.
While you Tom are a wanker.
Don’t judge everyone by your low standards Twatson.
And now the BBC are calling on God to save them

“i will not set my eyes before anything that is worthless” – Psalm 101.3 on the subject of television.
Has been is not getting a bean. Reward politically motivated stupidity, incompetence, bullying and downright shoddy lies in journalism? I don’t think so. Time for the parasite Coyle to go without a pay off. Useless parasites! Using the BBC for their own selfish and political ends. Now Jive on out of our lives. Parasites!
Love the multi-culti tat on her sideboard.
Could be a “whine” advert for Lefty tw*ts.
Glad to see my Huhne post got canned. Has he or the he/she plead insanity yet?
and you also have Boaden and the other news editor who have “stepped aside” . Seems to be a term that means waiting to get fired after they have negotiated a huge pay-off to keep their gobs shut.
Time for Brown’s mongs to fuck off and do one.
The BBC lefty parasites can jog on. They don’t have a moral spine. They don’t know when they have been gubbed!
Keep on obsessing about such things:-
While inflation starts to creep up.
While nutters are allowed to stay in UK
While the Spanish Ex Pat first wave return starts this weekend ( new Spanish property law kicks in ).
While 6000 nursing posts lost
While FT100 slides back
While Tory MPs vote WITH whip to up the cost of fuel.
Keep it up neo nuts !!!!!
Go shake your ears.
His boyfreind does that for him as he throat f(*& his mouth
Its the socialist way
”While the Spanish Ex Pat first wave return starts this weekend ( new Spanish property law kicks in ).”
I thought you left wing twats loved immigration.
Or does it only count when the immigrants aren’t white you thick fucking scum.
Her husband seems to share Chris Schumachers taste in women

Awful hair
Lefty and opinionated

So wrong!
A real Tory would have ,pretended to give a F&*^ for her opinions
Then shagged her!
And just what is wrong with that you leftist twit?
Serious question.
How can we organise to stop everyone paying the TV Licence fee in 2013 ?
It is the only way to put the boot in, otherwise the LABCONDUMS will just progress their meaningless inquiries, and nothing will change.

There are just so many. Where are they all breeding.
Are they energised by some alien life force.
They should never have lifted the stone.
Looks like the good, old, trustworthy, reliable, BBC is in for spot of downsizing in the overpaid, 2 days a week champagne commie jobbers department.
It puzzles me how this woman was appointed to the BBC Trust when her husband was a senior BBC journalist of years standing,wasnt this a conflict of interest? was it declared?Then to be part of the renumeration committee presiding over the salaries paid to senior BBC execectives some of whom may have had jurisdiction over her husband,did this ever happen? and if so de she recuse herself,come on Guido this needs to be looked into further.
Fuck me . She just needs a bolt through the head and she’d be a Frankenstein lookalike.
I absolutely promise that Abu Qatada will not be in this country in 50 years time.
