Im just in the process of an international move and in the last 2 months I have had official looking letters from the bbc licensing department threatening me with up to £1000 fine unless I buy a license. I watch netflix, i watch amazon TV, I watch youtube premium. I don’t watch BBC and I don’t like vaguely legal looking demands for payment. Wankers
I had a suspicion it was going to be a boomer reporter based on the weird phrasing and “patriotic” throwbacks and then what do you know, it was.
Fuck the BBC. It’s got to a point where their bias and propaganda has become unbearable at a time when England needs so much more. Expecting the UK to become a thing of the past quite soon.
OP, you realise that the far left hate the BBC as much as the far right? You’re not going to get a good response here.
Stopped paying my license due to the BBC transphobia problem. I’m not paying towards a news organisation that produces misleading propaganda and platforms hate groups. They have legitimised extremist anti trans views of which the lay public are now parroting.
So quite frankly the BBC can get fucked for all I care.
If you go anywhere in the world, most locals ask about football and The Queen. They also think the NHS is wonderful, along with the BBC. It’s one of the few things we are loved for.
The way they’ve let the right wing press bully them into being complete wusses on the journalism side has made me lose patience with the whole thing tbh. They let certain people spout outrageous lies on TV and never seem to challenge them anymore.
I like watching old Top Gear on iplayer and it’s okay for a tiny minority of the sports I follow (not essential though), but if other people in my household didn’t pay the licence fee I wouldn’t pay it.
No.
Since when has “it’s always been there” been a valid argument for keeping anything.
Pay for it yourself if you think it’s so bloody valuable.
