The licence fee is a bad business model for the BBC. Their income is falling relatively year on year as the younger switch to the ever growing streaming services meanwhile their core population gets older and is now alienated and will die off. This combined with the growing number of people who simply refuse to pay the licence makes for a bad business model. The refusal rate has increased in the last couple of years by 1% each year and now stands at 7%. If it continues at this rate it will hit a tipping point when the BBC and the courts will not be able to cope with the volume of cases. Non payment makes up a massive percentage of court cases. At the moment the BBC is trying to deflect blame to the government and to protect it's current model. It would be better accepting the inevitable and moving to a model where they can generate as much income as they like. I see a future 2 tier BBC where the majority of it will be commercial (BBC1 etc.) and the taxpayer will subside specific areas such as local news or education. The government already pays for the world service. Either way the axe will need to be taken to the tree. Too many staff and too many well paid staff. Wow, that's a significant change over a short period.

It shows you just how far things have shifted when we consider that Liddle use to consider himself a left winger.

This has been heavily advertised over here in the USA. Personally I don't wish to watch a load of Soaps/TV Docs with grim 'Oop Norf' accents or Sitcoms where you have comics know one has heard of...

Women are...of course, in the main deeply wonderful. Beta males and modern day feminists on the other hand..... Instead of showing yet another clip of the BBC's obsession with feminism, I'll just put this jpeg of the Guardian's recent female pieces...from just women in science.... and leave you to see if you can spot any difference between them. Essentially the Guardian and the BBC are basically one and the same. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Jul 2019 6.20pm)

So let me get this straight, the BBC has to rely on taxpayers money to remain impartial. However they are quite happy to take adverts overseas, sell their programming overseas and now they are trying to sell those same programs in the UK through Britbox? So the BBC is commercial so why do they need taxpayers money?

So on Saturday there was a major march, anti Boris (due to his stance on leaving without a deal) and anti Brexit. Where were the media? I saw coverage of around 5 pro-Brexit demonstrators but nothing on thousands of 'March for Change' ones. The BBC is controlled by the right wing in this country, even though its workforce tends to be left wing. Now where have I heard that before? Even when finally it covered the march it said 'hundreds of people' and only changed that to 'thousands' late in the day. Goodness knows how many turned up because the national media didn't cover it. I too noticed this, especially when the Biased Bullshyte Co is openly supporting Hunt in this leadership contest. On Good Friday when the 'Million Veterans Marches' took place all over the country, they never covered any of it. The handful of 'tree-huggers' who clogged up London got everything, even when the march in London turned into Parliament Sq & all the tree-huggers, ALL the news media's down cameras & went to lunch.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The BBC is almost entirely responsible for Farage. The amount of air time that bloke got, even when he was given oodles of money to 'leave politics', beggars belief.

This fitted right into the BBC agenda and you know it. The reason it wasn't covered must have been lack of numbers. They wouldn't be able to take the piss out of it like they did with Farage - as that would alienate the Guardian readers and their fan-club - so they ignored it.

The BBC is in the pocket of a certain faction of the Conservative party and is Farage's biggest supporter. It is also highly anti Corbyn and takes every opportunity to knock the Labour party. And have you seen its coverage of the Liberal Democrats/Greens/Plaid Cymru? Of course you haven't, it doesn't have any. Whether that is because it is right wing at the top (it is) or running scared of the right of the Conservative party that is threatening to kill it off (it is) is a moot point.

The BBC relentlessly pushes the remain agenda - it's obvious from the "mix" of people invited on to every political show and the relentless pushing of project fear. Farage and the like are only every invited on because (1) They have to and (2) So they can gang up and smear people with accusation of racism and the like. The BBC relentlessly pushes Feminism to the point that they assume every woman is or should be a radical feminist (the majority in the real world are not) at the expense of any positive traditional male values or strengths. In fact these are actively denigrated. Men are basically now rapists not to be trusted and women are a protected class. The BBC relentless pushes LGBTQXYZ as a direct attack on the traditional family unit. Pretty much every other kind of family is fine other than the traditional one. There is absolutely no voice for social conservatism at the BBC. The BBC completely avoids any discussion on any negative effects of mass immigration. It's just not acceptable and racist. They might drag on Rod Liddle late at night to berate him (as they did recently). Farage knows he can't even broach the subject any more without being attacked yet you can make a video about all white people being racist and that's fine. News they don't like goes unreported, is missing key facts or is spun somehow as a positive or the opposite of what it actually is. At the same time they are working directly with political activists like hope not hate to smear and lie about people with different world views and push fake news. The BBC is predictably pro-choice, anti-gun, anti-trump, pro mass-immigration, pro-censorship, anti-police, extremely socially liberal and are now pushing an extreme socialist/communist/inter-sectional/identitarian/de-constructional agenda. They still think the Tories are right wing FFS. Women, Muslims and ethnic minorities, Gays, Trans are all clearly over represented for the sake of diversity but there can be no diversity of thought. Same with Sky and CH4 news. White working class people despite still being the majority in this country are almost entirely unrepresented unless they are socialists. The white working class are basically now the "far right". All of the above has formed unrealistic opinions of what's actually going on in the world and our own country and ignores constant danger we can invite if people with different (and often valid) opinions and concerns are ignored or even demonized. The BBC is part of a culture that is now making the country more racist, sexist and homophobic but it doesn't even know it. In short, the BBC and the mainstream media are dismantling everything that's traditionally good about this country including it's tolerance. The BBC is cancer. Edited by W12 (22 Jul 2019 4.23pm) A truly excellent post and I endorse every word. The BBC's remit is to be impartial and balanced yet I don't know of any social conservatives who appear on screen and the only time social conservationism is represented is in a critical light. Social liberalism definitely deserves its voice at the BBC however it does not deserve to dominate a publicly funded institution.....which decides who gets the megaphone handed to them and how they are represented. The BBC was not intended to be 'The Guardian' however that's what its latter day leaders allowed to happen and that will play its part in its downfall....because the debate is now polarised and its supporters are nearly all on one side. As former BBC Robin Aitken said....'The Noble Liar'. Edited by Stirlingsays (22 Jul 2019 4.34pm)
