BBC funding

The BBC is asking for the licence fee to be extended to all channels in response to falling revenue.

If I don’t watch Netflix I don’t have to pay for it. So why do the BBC think people who don’t watch their programmes should pay for them?

Tv licence reminders and red envelopes everywhere I go

Nobody ever seems to call to enforce.

Time to bite the bullet and introduce adverts. Alternately make BBC a pay per view or subscription only service.

We need the BBC.

I’d rather have a public institution that I as a tax payer have a stake in, inevitable flaws and all, than for everything to be corporate-owned, where with one phone call, a trillionaire, Epstein-affiliated, psychopath can shut down entire stories.

The BBC is past its sell by date.

Ridiculous high salaries, too many embarrassing cock-ups, less than impartial reporting, reliance on former glory, decreasing quality of programming and increasing costs to support a dead duck. Time to go beeb.

Will you be at home on such and such a date? They threaten.

Well I've stayed in loads of times especially for them but they never show up.

I've even replied to them that I've only got a receiver so that local vigilante groups don't pick on me for being different and not watching telly.

If they come around, and only then, I will show them it is a dummy telly with no innards, only a screen!

It should be funded out of general taxation as a national resource but get rid of all the shite entertainment programs of any calibre lower in intellectual standard than Radio 4.
