 So, you are hoping that Scotland, Wales & NI will vote in favour of #defundthebbc? This kids dont watch telly & most 30-50yo know how to stream Netflix etc. #defundthebbc is a dinosaur, its archaic, its lost its core viewers/source of income, the 'wrinklies' ie people like me. I told the licencing authority I would NOT pay for a left-wing bias woke, virtual signaling company hell bent on it's own agenda. The viewing and listening figures that BBC programmes still get show that it’s still very, very popular. There are loads on the left who despise the BBC political coverage. If the more extreme parts of both the left and right think it’s biased in the other direction it’s probably a fairly decent barometer of being somewhat in the middle.

Well, when you use the figures from across the world that 'watch/listen' to #defundthebbc, then yes, the figures do show that they are popular . . . But, NOT in this country, which is the most important yardstick. 
 This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. | |
