I'm glad we decided to stop paying the licence fee.

His re election suggests that over half the US voters saw through all the media bias.
Although this article does nothing but reaffirm the justification his deep distrust of mainstream media outlets.

It's not about Trump, it's about the BBC. His wasn't the only story they totally misreported to suit their own ends. I really don't see why we should have to pay a tax to keep this load of shite in business.

The BBC has been nothing more than a lefty sounding board for decades.
If it wasn't so self important it would have been shut down years ago. It certainly wouldn't survive on a commercial level.

Trouble is, on a certain level, we need it. It's the only broadcaster that's got the reach to get important information out quickly, to almost everybody.

I can honestly say that we haven't watched any BBC channel for well over 25 years, so any announcements would bypass me anyway. I hate, despise the BBC and I'd love to live long enough to see the BBC die a death, but I can't see it happening because our corrupt government will do their utmost to keep them going. I watch very little TV, and when I do it's a film from Netflix or a drama that we binge watch from itvx, but never, ever, ever anything from the BBC. Unfortunately for me, my Mrs watches all of the old stuff from 30 odd years ago, but thankfully never anything on BBC. When a BBC spokesperson was interviewed, he said that if the BBC get cancelled we'd lose shows like Strictly Come Dancing. Is that it, is that their best defence. ;D
-
Yep, The Ministry of Truth has been caught red handed.
I really think the sh1t will have to hit the fan over this one. Its beyond outrageous.

If it's that important, there's the emergency alert system.

Well I did quite enjoy Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, which I think was a BBC thriller/whodunnit?
But then considering what else is on (non-pay*) TV, thats not a high bar to set, as its about 70 channels of celebrity tits out or mindless police chase programmes.
*Yes, I know, the BBC is pay TV

I would like to think so, but almost unbelievably, the MSM are obviously trying to keep a lid on this.
Outside of GB News and the Telegraph, it doesnt seem to get a mention.
Its a National scandal thats being ignored, presumably in the hope it will go away.

If the BBC stoop to this, we-can safely assume ALL of the other news channels are doing it, GB news included. My advice is to view an assorted number of News Sites and then draw your own take.

Or view no news sites, and go about your day in blissful ignorance. Dalby forest was beautiful in its autumn cloak last week, I couldn't have been less bothered about the crap that goes on anywhere else.

Speaking of BBC bias has anyone noticed the Question time audience seem overwhelmingly left wing.
No end of applause for excessive immigration.
But I'm told they don't have any bias. ::)
-
Its been like that (but possibly getting worse) for years.
I gave up watching it a long time ago.

And important, current, news stories are pushed back to 1 liners, with their concentration on whatever is happening at Stockport. Don't get me wrong, that was a very sad attack for the local community, but it doesn't need a 10 minute delay update every single day.

Yeah, you talk all wrong up there. Get above Oxfordshire and roundabouts become islands.
But, Southport. Suburb of Scouseland.

I see they are frothing over today because one of their presenters used the expression "pregnant women" instead of "pregnant people". ::)

Yep. Just seen this.
Martine Croxall apparently changed the script, using pregnant women instead of pregnant people......because apparently 'people' of both sexes can become pregnant. ::)
-
That was in June.

That was in June.
It's in the news today for some reason.
Perhaps she has been bollo*cked today by the powers that be.

Ah....yes.....a report by a bunch of woke tossers has said, by rolling her eyes, she was coming across as normal. No good at all if you want to work for the bbc :)

I think it's due to the public inquiry, sorry, i meant arse covering, that's going on about it at the moment.

So, serious shit is going down in central Birmingham, and what is the BBC News' lead story? More oppsing Southport inquiry shit.

Perhaps by not mentioning it, the Beeb believes that it can't be accused of being pro Palestinian. :-X

Good luck to his replacement trying to reverse a culture of wokedom.

Like almost every UK national Institution, it needs dismantling altogether and rebuilding from scratch.
I dont think this will be the end of the Beeb, but I do think its demise in its current form is inevitable in the foreseeable future. .
It just isnt fit for the world we now live in.
-

The replacement will be another lefty woke Establishment place-person, probably in possession of a non pink vagina that only ever gets penetrated by double ended or strap on dildos to tick all the correct boxes. :)

I see that he had a car and a chauffeur, paid for out of the licence fee, and he very often stayed in a hotel in London instead of travelling the 40 miles home each night, again at the expense of the licence fee. ::)

My management chain aren't happy as they did multiple rounds of job adverts over about 10 months for my boss's job, but failed to find a female, ethnic lgbt+ person, and finally had to settle for a white, male, straight person.

Apparently Trump has just informed the BEEB that he intends to sue them.
The licence fee is going to have to be hiked next year. ;D ::)

Nigel was saying on TV this morning that its unlikely the licence fee will exist if he gets into number 10.
It will be a subscription service for its fans, and the rest of us wont have to bother with it. :)

That might only be a surcharge of £35 a household? ( wild guess)

You are of course correct that an American billion is the same as a British billion, but it wasn't always the case.
A British billion was a million million and an American billion was a thousand million. Britain started using the American version in the 1970's I believe. ???
I'm far too young to remember this of course. :)

The company that made the episode of Panorama that caused all the trouble ( October films) is currently producing a documentary on the Reform party.
Safe to assume it will be a complete hatchet job. ::)

Have you started claiming your state pension?
And nice of your missus to give you 10% of her personal allowance. ::)
-
Yep, you win the cigar. :y :D
Just started claiming state pension. Wife isnt employed so I make use of 10% of her allowance.
Theres also a reduction for employer provided private health insurance.

Just checking - the tax man can cock-up tax codes, and that one would/will result in you paying about £1750 extra in tax next year if you were not recieving your SP. I'm sure you would have been happy to loan Rachel from accounts the money :-)
-
Well, she does need it more than I do. ;D
As things stand, most of that will be saved by the fact Ive stopped paying NIC,s.
Its rumoured though that she is going to increase income tax and also reduce NIC,s by the same amount.
If she does that it will hammer me.
Still, its bloody unreasonable to expect fair or decent treatment from the State after working and contributing for 50 years and counting. ::)

Its getting beyond a joke now.
What used to be a national treasure, has over the years become a national disgrace and embarrassment.
Time to get rid of the archaic license fee and let those who still love it pay its costs from their subscriptions.

Funny isn't it how all these Establishment broadcast new outlets the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4 etc can seemingly be as bad, biased and corrupt as they like and no one says jack. Action taken against them by Ofcom? Don't make me laugh! ;D
GB News however is a different kettle of fish as they seem to have an endless stream of Ofcom investigations and actions to deal with. ::)
