BBC licence fee

[Vicious111]

Look you hate the BBC. You are trying to force your minority view - again I refer you to the viewing figures, many people would greatly miss the BBC - If you are unhappy about paying for a service you don't use then as has been shown to you don't pay it if you are not a user you aren't compelled to - that way one little flame of your inner anger will be extinguished.

I will remind you we are commenting on a thread called "Is it time the BBC was privatised?" And how exactly are you not compelled to pay a TV license if you watch live Sports? So your showing me something you don't obviously understand...Why do you think it is feasible to pay £160 annually to watch a few games of football a week on Sky? I'm hardly binging on Songs of Praise like your fine self.

Therefore the correct answer is "no. It should not be privatised". My view carries the same weight as yours in a country of 65m people. Hope that makes you happy.

that'll be the station who has Kuenessberg living and breathing every Johnson word? The one that platforms JRM and has a man who represents no party on nearly every political programme Nigel Farage - that left leaning one?

It comes as no surprise whatsoever that you're one of the handful of people in the country that doesn't think the BBC is left leaning.

Wait till the next Question Time is on mate, they will all be back frothing at the mouth demanding change at the BBC!!!!!

The fact that people on the right think its left biased and people on the left think its right biased tells me it ploughs a pretty central furrow

One study of bias demonstrated, rather amusingly, that it may influence interpretations of bias.

Vallone, Ross and Lepper (1985) found that when two groups of partisans watched a relatively unbiased account of an issue, each construed the segment as biased towards the other side.

I've just read somewhere that there is a private members bill to decriminalise the license fee. If that gets accepted/debated etc; the Conservatives massive majority could see it happening.
Apologies for no links, this shitty laptop keeps having a fit of the vapours, if anyone can find it, and if I've read it right, they should be able to put it up.

I've generally been a defender of the beeb on here, but after seeing today's princess Di style interview of Harry Maguire and the Klopp 'we don't want messi anyway' stories getting top billing we might as well pay 157 quid a year to mutv or babestation.

Wow what a vote winner. By the next GE the BBC will be like it was in the 70's - BBC1 virtually blank except the lunchtime news until childrens telly starts at 3.50pm ( CBBC will have been shut down ) then all the way through to close at 11.30pm.
BBC2 starting @ 7pm and closing after Newsnight.
R1's 1,2,3,4 being the only radio - no local radio stations
Sounds and iPlayer very restricted same with the web page. Probably just simple news coverage and sports page full of dipper and rag crap - the public will love it as the fork out £110 pa for Netflix, £300 pa for SKY + add on packages £73pa Britbox to name but a few and those are current rates which will doubtless rocket once the BBC is forced to contract.
Still at least the gammon will be able to rail at biased SSN presenters happy in the knowledge they are spending over £500pa but saving @£160.

Everytime he says gammon i just smile as i can picture his red face each and every time he posts his anger and bile on here.

There’s three of them

Tory MPs Table Bills to Decriminalise Non-Payment of Licence Fee, Privatise BBC and Monitor Impartiality

Looking down the legislative agenda there are three Bills coming up for a second reading in this parliamentary session which will warm the hearts of

Just watching the First night of the Proms on BBC2 - Copeland and Beethoven - bet none of the outraged gammon from the other day have watched a single second.

I was listening to Beethoven the other day on the radio and they told a story about his love and support for Napoleon, despite the atrocities he committed in the name of empire. Just don't tell the wet snowflakes at the BBC otherwise we wont be hearing much of him on the proms.

The amount of Beethoven that has been played and continues to be played on the BBC shows how truly pathetic that statement is. Just trying to provoke comment to have a stupid argument. Childish really.

True, but when Beethoven heard that Napoleon declared himself "Emperor of all Europe" he ripped up a special symphony he'd written to commemorate Napoleon's 'work' as a champion of the revolution, so it's fair to say he wasn't a big supporter of him towards the end.

Tbf beethoven did scratch the dedication to napoleon from the cover of his 3rd symphony in protest at this.

They broadcast a lot of Wagner too - imagine the inner conflict being both lefty snowflake AND Nazi fascist. It could be seen as balance or just simply.....music.

I still wonder how many of the outraged on Tuesday watched tonight.

I doubt the outraged on either side of the rule Brittania debate have any interest in watching the proms at all and will now be looking for the next thing to be outraged about.

@Mëtal Bikër @Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese

They did cover this and apparently there was a bit of nuance to the story of him removing the title but yeah he wasn't a fan of Napoleon at the end but the early days when he was in charge of the African colonies, he was something of an idol for Beethoven therefore I'm not sure how much longer his music can be compatible with BLM UK

Says a poster whose vocabulary consists almost entirely of a single word......gammon, used to gain a reaction.
