Why do we all have to pay tax for Left wing propaganda?
Labour obviously scared of UKIP if they are resorting to this, but BBC's role is unacceptable.

What tax are you paying ?
Are you referring to the licence fee ? You dont have to pay it - just dont have a telly - then you wont have to pay for ' left wing propaganda ' its simple. |

Has this ever happened before with other political activists and QT?
Of course it has. |
|
By:
"You dont have to pay it - just dont have a telly - then you
wont have to pay for ' left wing propaganda ' its simple." What idiotic logic. Because I can't stand the BBC being packed with lefties I have to ditch my TV and can't watch Sky Sports. Genius. |

That's the problem with you java - not prepared to make any sacrifices to support your ' principles '

Why should I have to? Why not make BBC subscription like everything else and if people want to hear the left wing view on the "savage cuts" then they can pay for it? Why force me to pay tax when I don't want to watch their left wing nonsense?

Java would pay twice if all that was shown were repeats of 1979 election night and Party Political broadcasts by the Conservatives.

Java - The bbc has a world reputation as a quality impartial broadcaster - its one of the things that makes
Britain great - you should be happy to be making a small contribution to that. |

Allways thought the BBC was very right wing
Cameron is allways headline news  |

What a brilliant argument Mickstick. Well done. |

Waken up JAVA and taste the coffee, or as it is known in American slang, "JAVA".
The B.B.C. is neither left or right wing per se, but CHANGING of moods and thoughts like most people except of course JAVA. |

"Java - The bbc has a world reputation as a quality impartial broadcaster"
With who? The people who run it? Oh - WHOOPS.  Maybe you can pretend he didn't say it because it is the tee-hee-hee Daily Mail.BBC Director General Mark Thompson has admitted the corporation was guilty of a 'massive' Left-wing bias in the past. The TV chief also admitted there had been a 'struggle' to achieve impartiality.

Yeah what the country needs room0182 is a media completely dominated by news international.
|

By:
The difference, OBVIOUSLY, is that you can decline to pay for Sky subscriptions.

Murdoch and News International seem to be too fickle for Java's taste since they supported Bliar for almost 10years!!! He would rather we had a media dominated exclusively by the tax exile Barclay Brothers. He can always rely on them supporting Tory ideologies. |

^ Have you gone mad spleen? ^
The BBC is best summed up with the fact that while Margaret Thatcher was being abused by them for sorting out Labours crisis in the seventies (Unions,Strikes destroying manufacturing,left wing councils like Liverpool taken over by communists like the NHS today) the BBC were harbouring and ignoring Jimmy Saville's abuse of children and woman on their premises. |

You have to give Labour credit for their readiness to get down and dirty when it comes to campaigning.They have clearly picked up on the US style of politics after a few taxpayer funded trips to USA when Tony Blair was well in with Clinton and Bush to monitor election camaigns and this is what we get for our money,sly and sneaky plants with a compliant broadcaster.The tories really aren't in the same league but is this what we want from our governments ?

Not the BBC is left wing garbage again and as for paying licence fee for things you dislike I fekin hate paying towards Motor racing its utter bollox but the BBC
Spends a fortune on it ,it's even starting to show qualifying sessions now ffsk bring back crown green bowling  |

You dont have to pay it - just dont have a telly - then you
wont have to pay for ' left wing propaganda ' its simple. Wurzel Interesting logic. Let's imagine the Tories win the 2015 election. They sack all the pinkos and weirdos and install their own puppets in their place so that all BBC broadcasts essentially become adverts for a new status quo which they support. You would then have the right to terminate your subscription but somehow I suspect your ire would run a little deeper than that token gesture. |
|
By:
You're right it would

By:
It's simple just make the licence fee optional like SKY, why won't the beaters like wurzel agree to that?
After all if its a world class broadcaster nobody will begrudge the tenner a month. Or is it just that wurzel knows what's best for everyone else? |
|
By:
this propoganda comment is ridiculous. You could say Sky is right wing especially when you get George Osborne poring over Kay Burley straight after the sky televised debate. He said the following:(I wil ltry and get the link)
"By the way Kay I thought Sky's coverage of the debate was excellent" Never can anyone say Cameron and Osborne are in Murdoch's pocket....which is why they are backing the recommendations set out in the Leveson enquiry....oh hang on..... |
|
By:
Are you forced to subsribe to Sky jlay? Pretty simple point.
|
|
By:
Java
No one is forced to pay the licence fee. You have the option of not paying if you don't watch live TV. You can still even watch most of BBC iplayer, itv player, 4OD etc stuff without paying any penny at all which you cannot do for sky. Just admit you want to have the convenience of watching live telly and you have opted to pay for that service through the licence fee. |
|
By:
Boris don't get the day off with your stupidity.
I need a TV to watch Sky. I wouldn't subsribe to BBC if I didnt' need to. I am forced to pay tax to fund the BBC which is a left wing mouthpiece. You are not forced to pay tax to fund Sky. I really is painfully simple. |
|
By:
SkyNews is on Freeview. You'd have a better argument if you said you dont have to watch skynews. However seeing as it was a general election and the debate was of potential great importance i thought it would be best to watch as opposed to get a someone's else's view.
|
|
By:
I was just reminding you could decide and escape the BBC tax altogether and still watch TV if you were so inclined.
You now come to cry that you cannot subscribe to Sky without first paying the BBC which is a completely different thing. The state has decided it that way just like I am sure many people hate it that their taxes directly goes to pay for the NHS or teachers who they claim brainwash the children with left wing ideals they disagree with |
|
By:
"The state has decided it that way"
 I'm off. I can't spend another day in Borisland. |

By:
boris - agreed you have the cohice to decide where you get your news from. More and more people refer to the internet to form a political view. I think what annoys me are people who define their political views based on what a paper or tv tells them. You should base your view on what your values are and in most cases a particular political party may have a view which suits this.
Unfortunately we've got a lot of Apparatchiks on this forum who simply follow a party blindly like it was a football team. I dont know any party that in reality would meet all my views. |

At last some self awareness shown by this poster |

By:
I am waiting for Java to also come bleating that he is a sports fan but he is forced to pay Murdoch in order to watch live premiership, boxing, tennis, f1, golf, cricket etc games on TV!!!
What about all the movies fans that need to pay sky if they wanted to view recent films on TV? |
|
By:
Boris - what don't you understand about this?
If I want to watch Sports, I pay for it. If I want to watch Movies, I pay for it. If I don't want to watch Sports I don't pay for it. However, if I don't want to watch left wing dogma on the BBC, I am forced to pay for it and can be sent to prison if I don't. |

Very good Wurzel.
 What a tragic "t" for me to miss out.  |

By:
Yeah it rather changed the meaning of your post
I see it more as a freudian slip than a typo. |

Quite what Boris is doing on a betting exchange is beyond me.
He'd be better spending time drinking cider wih other wide eyed numpties in the student union |
|
By:
Spleen puzzles me too instead of scoring inane points on here he could be helping less fortunate people with benefit claims.
Interesting dichotomy that spleen, pretending to care about others but spending your spare time relieving people of thir money on a betting exchange. Just think, the next time you have a winner you might be forcing some poor person into poverty. |
