Yes you are entitled to your opinion on the BBC , i doubt it will ever stop though , mind you they are now stopping it free for the over 75s i think , that could be the bingo money gone west

A typical example just now:
During the break in the snooker they showed some old news clips/music from 1979 (as this was the year the masters started). Whilst showing a clip of the general election and Thatcher getting voted in they were playing a song called “Mind Blowing Decisions” by Heatwave! And just to top it off, when they went back to the studio, the presenter said “and they are still making mind blowing political decisions forty years later!”  |

Yes the Over 75 issue is Wrong , seems strange a lot of Elderley people voted Out , Perhaps its the BBC punishment payment

IT is hugely over represented by diversity - they employ way over the odds in bbc departments - that is lgbtqi(my lot) to members of the 'community' and everything in between I remember when it was exposed
sky ch 4 etc the same over eu diversity and the rest - that's news, programmes, and personnel but to say it is corbyn land would be going way over the top but they take lots of copies of the guardian |

BBC get it from both left and right wings, so maybe they aren’t that bad after all.
But still a tax is not right. |
|
By:
As we have now discovered politics isn’t a one dimensional line between left and right.

You don't need a licence as long as you are not watching live TV or using BBC iPlayer and are only watching on-demand or catch-up on other services. However, TV Licensing says its figures show fewer than 2% of people only watch catch-up TV.

The left wing bias at the BBC means they see no wrong with it, and given the are self investigating if anyone complains, the scum know they can get away with it. |

And yes you need a liense to watch ANY live TV even if you never watch a second of the BBC. It's insane. If you only watched the Yesterday channel and God TV on freeview, or were Polish and watched Polish TV on a satellite diah, you have to pay these dicks so they can pay themself 600k a year to read anti Brexit and left wing rubbish from a teleprompter.
They are indefencible. Are the people who sign these petitions viewable? Wouldn't surprise me if the b*stards scrape the names to go in hard on license investigations. |

I haven't paid the BBC licence fee for years. During that time I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say over one hundred demands have dropped through my letterbox. It always amuses me to note the cyclical nature of the various threats employed, not to mention outright lies. I have received everything from little more than begging letters for payment, to warnings of fictitious visits on specific dates, to explicit ultimata of imminent legal action.
I simply ignore them all and nothing ever happens. |

The BBc will always be hated so long as we are forced to fund it, I resent funding a broadcaster who promotes globalization and also hates my ancestory, culture and history

Some of us had our day in court,.f00king waste of time that was..... still fine not payed yet,and I’ve just seen thier doing away with sentences of less than six months....I could be cleaning litter from the streets.
 |
|
By:
if the 6 month sentence review is actually implemented; i see it as the best bit of legislation in recent years
|

By:
If it rids the BBC of it's current bias...I agree subscription
|

By:
& not before time
|
|
By:
Still proceedings didn’t start to well ,when the usher ask me to swear on the bible,my answer,are you taking the pi$$,..if looks could kill
 |
|
By:
They could put up a free channel on Freeview
But must include some subscription channels and adverts, to fund itself |
|
By:
There a large number of channels for all tastes which support themselves
So I see no reason why the BBC cannot? |
|
By:
Mind you, people will still have to pay, people will have to pay something
for receiving any channels....money to government. |
|
By:
The BBC licence fee in its current form is doomed. To answer the original question: I would say no more than another decade.
|
|
By:
it will go before that, Mr P. And good afternoon
|
|
By:
Good afternoon, Mr B. :)

My big fear is they'll do away with the direct tax and instead take it frm general taxation, so we just fund their endless PC/leftist propaganda via a slightly different route and can't even attempt to refuse to fund it.
|
|
By:
Indeed, JC. That is exactly what will probably happen.
|
|
By:
I'm sure I've said before I can only see it getting MUCH worse. Once the current crop of SJW / hard left idiots (who hate alternative viewpoints) come out of their arts and gender study courses uni and with no other life experience get diversity box ticked jobs in the BBC to push their sh1t, it's going to become even more unbearable.

Give it 15 years it'll make Owen Jones look sensible and right wing..
|
|
By:
Perhaps, sir, but I believe public sentiment will turn before that rather bleak outcome.
|
|
By:
Both JC and Poker make compelling arguments.
Poker, my fear is that the viable opposition to such madness is getting older and thinner of hair. |
|
By:
That's certainly true in my case, Injera! :)
|
|
By:
And mine sir! Haircuts cost the same though.

By:
A lot of fear on hear.
