wouldn't it be lovely if Boris stuck the dagger into the BBC ? now that his majority in the Commons is strong.

It's red meat to the Tory base but it's unlikely to happen. However, I would, if I were Johnson take a good look at removing Lord Hall......the biggest prat ever to run it. Stick a proper Tory in to run the BBC....it'll give those feckers a frigging heart attack. Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Dec 2019 5.53pm)

The BBC has made a few unwelcome changes. Firstly it is doing away with it's teletext type service on the red button which is very annoying as I use it to catch up with news and sports headlines if I miss News At Ten and secondly they seem to have done away with the customisation of their website so that instead of picking and choosing which sections are of interest to you and hiding the rest we now have to plough through the whole lot. Is this progress?

Decriminalising non payment of the BBC tax seems to be gathering ground. I want to abolish the licence fee completely but even if you are a fan of the BBC there is some merit in this. Something like 25% of magistrate cases relate to non payment they are clogging up the system and given criminal records to many people who would not normally be considered a criminal. Whilst a few hardcore refuse to pay for political reasons the vast majority are related to financial problems. Non payment should be treated the same as a utility bill. I think this is the opening salvo the BBC is on borrowed time. Edited by Badger11 (15 Dec 2019 11.26am)

Johnson has ordered a review of the license fee and I think that should be one of its outcomes. The state of affairs where the BBC have been allowed to effectively make leaving them very difficult is outrageous.

By the way, whatever happens to the BBC it's currently in a death spiral. It doesn't matter whether it's news / current affairs, wildlife programs or Dr Who the whole mess is poisoned by the same urbane, condescending, worthy, virtue signalling, feminized, anti nation state, race baiting, LGBTXYZ, politically correct and ultimately extremely narrow minded and divisive ideology. I can't see a point where they finally realize that liberalism is not democracy. It's just another option you can vote for. Also, you can find a ton of people on alternative media that runs ratings around their talent pool. Edited by W12 (16 Dec 2019 1.32pm)
