BBC licence fee

No. From news, to radio, kids TV, kids education, documentaries and BBC Good Food, it’s well worth the money

It’s a public service and whilst It has its faults it’s well worth the money

Look at the people encouraging us to get rid of it, what’s in it for them......

Very kind of you. Any other of your viewing habits you'd like others to help pay for?

My point, as you well know, is that it caters for everyone as a national broadcaster should. It’s a public service

What’s next? Rees-Mogg saying taxes should be reduced to because he sends his kids to private/independent schools so why should he pay for normal people’s kids?

Why not?

It would have the virtue of honesty.

The right always has to dog whistle and skirt the issue for fear of exposing themselves for what they are.

Not now.

I look forward to right wingers scolding the poor for their bad life choices, the welfare state dismantled with charities told to pick up the slack. I want to hear lectures on the work shy, why prisons should be turned in to vast warehouses for the criminal classes, the importance of breeding and the perils of letting your daughter marry a darky.

Your main point seemed to be that you thought it was worth the money

We fund things like schools via the state because not everyone could afford to pay. This isn't true for media

Personally, I don't think the BBC should be straight up privatised or abolished but it needs stripping right down to the important stuff (news and docs) and has to become more neutral, with diversity of thought introduced to its employment ranks, not just superficial diversity.
The danger of getting rid of it is it would fragment society even further. I'd like to see us fund it in other ways tho (lottery?)

1) We fund schools as glorifed day care so the adults can go out to the factories, offices to make money to pay tax. Seen as though more people are working from home or unfortunaley unemployed as a result of the pandemic and we are looking to save money let's shut some schools and let the parents educate their own kids rather than the state/teachers. Teachers are only lazy union puppets anyway who only work 6 hours a day.....

2)I'm not sure about that. BBC have done groundbreaking documentary/news series that are available to everyone in the county, because we all chip-in. I don't have Netfix, I jump on someone elses Sky-Go so my access to media is very limited. As is plently of people's who don't have good enough broadband to stream or just simply can't afford it. I'd consider free access to recipes, kids TV etc and education essential in this day and age

The result of 'stripping back' would be a reduced and poor service which then could easily to be sold to the public as a waste of money so best to get rid. Didn't they do the same with British Rail??
