The BBC


gut feeling. Think it’s happened in other countries. Hope I’m wrong

I'd doubt it, I've working in local government for yonks as far back as domestic rates and it's never ever been rumoured. Any changes with local taxation take years, although to be fair some of the recent hardship and energy schemes the government have introduced are clearly from the brains of their work experience crowd, so I guess anything is possible.
 
In the T household we’ve used the bbc quite a lot over the turkey-eating season.

I got to thinking about value for money compared to other streaming services and concluded that for us, the bbc is well worth the licence fee.

Watched a lot more than usual terrestrial ‘live’ tv - news, sport, fillums, documentaries, weather.

Radio 2 in the car, Radio 6 in the house.

First website I look at in the morning (sorry RTG!), news, sport, weather, articles. Being an exile if I want avoid the doom and gloom of the match day thread, the bbc page is what I have up.

On iplayer we’ve watched Ghosts, the English, Motherland, Cunk on, Detectorists, Dark Materials, Repair Shop, various fillums, Inside No9, Am I Being Unreasonable, Top Gear, Digging for Britain, MoTD … the list goes on…

Be a shame to lose Auntie Beeb imho, there’s a lot of quality stuff that wouldn’t get commissioned on other platforms.
Netflix are struggling with their subscription service with people cancelling
The model the righties love
 
As much as I think the BBC is often biased towards the right, I think it’s an absolute institution in every other way. Worth the fee alone for Cbeebies.

I’m yet to come across someone who hates the BBC that isn’t an obvious wrang’un
That’s funny because the righties think it’s lefty
 
Can anyone on this thread explain to me why a discussion about the licence fee has degenerated into a hateful, nasty, ad-hominem fest?

It's got me completely baffled. If supposed grown ups can get so riled up about a subject like that then they need to grow the fck up and get some perspective.

This place is seriously going down the tubes because of posters who can't have rational and calm discussions. It's OK to disagree without being vile to each other...

Apologies if I've said anything vile, I hope I haven't but social media etc does tend to polarise behaviour and make sensible debacle less common.

As my favourite songwriter Jeff Tweedy said recently "there's no middle when the other side would rather kill than compromise"

No, mate, there's been a couple of posters who've behaved very badly. One pissed me off enough to request the mods to remove it, even though it wasn't aimed at me. I hope the poster gets a ban...
 
It's very odd, the leftists/woke usually hate tradition and want to push forward with what they term progression but for some reason they want the BBC stuck in the 20th century. Weird.
You are brainwashed by right wing bullshit

Saying woke and leftist shows how you are completely gone altogether oldie

Woke as an insult and there is no such thing as leftist

Do you consider yourself to be a right wing racist fascist?

Woke and leftist are the direct opposite to that
