Don’t watch anything on channel 5 really, but that’s not to say folks that watch the poverty porn they put on should have to pay the bbc for the pleasure.
What do you watch then?Gimme some quality shows that aren't on bbc. I think you secretly watch the bbc, but don't agree with paying for it.
Normally just stream, so stuff like slow horses recently, films on the streaming services, sky box sets etc etc.
You don't have to pay the TV licence to stream stuff,do you? Why pay it?
Asante Gold: UK returns looted Ghana artefacts after 150 years
The 32 precious items are on loan for at least three years after being taken from the Asante people.www.bbc.co.uk
Will the BBC remain a credible news source?
Incredible that they try and paint Britain as the aggressor in this story.
Britain was there trying to stop the slave trade. In order to protect the local Africans from being enslaved by the Asante (who also wished to extend their empire), the British ended up fighting with them, eventually winning and putting a stop to their slave trade and human sacrifice.
Bbc: "Britian looted gold from the Asante people"
"Europeans were attracted to what they later named the Gold Coast by the stories of African wealth and Britain fought repeated battles with the Asante in the 19th Century.
In 1874 after an Asante attack, British troops launched a "punitive expedition", in the colonial language of the time, ransacking Kumasi and taking many of the palace treasures."
"types of agreements are seen by others as a way for Britain to confront the cultural legacy of its colonial past"
You couldn't make it up (oh they have)

Disappointingly, none of that would surprise me about the BBC. I find myself turning it off more frequently every week as time goes by.Asante Gold: UK returns looted Ghana artefacts after 150 years

I’ve started to read the FT more often instead of the BBC; our employer has a subscription so I don’t need to pay.

Britain was there because it took over from the West African Company as they were still trying to trade slaves.
More personal choice than ‘having’ to pay it. I could live quite happily using it as I do and not needing to pay it, I pay it more as I think we need a bbc type public broadcaster in some capacity, and I figure the content I get from radio 4 and podcasts alone is worth chipping something into the pot….radio two is fucked now they’ve dumped Ken in the morning like so it’s greatest hits all the way during the work day
The local Africans were the slavers.
Gammons want it brought down to gbeebies level, and they’re getting what they want…
