Things i would like a referendum about

Good luck with winning a referendum on that.

Get a big red bus with 5% taxation for all written on it, has worked before lol

Capital punishment,

free university education for all 18-21 year olds

We have that up here.

as long as we can vote again if we don't get our result

Lets have one on Fox Hunting lets see the will of the people

A referendum on whether the tv licence should be abolished would be interesting.

I think the result of that would be certainty BARROWBOY.

Barrow, the license fee and the BBC along with it. Rancid organisation. Why do I have to pay for a TV license in order to watch every other channel when I only watch BBC about 2 hours a month. The people who still like it can pay a voluntary fee as I do for Sky.

If you had asked me 20 years ago I would probably have given the bbc the benefit of the doubt,but no longer.any arrangement that in 2018 could lead to a prison sentence for watching a tv is archaic.i hardly bother with the bbc these days due to its politically biased current affairs programmes & selective editorial crime reporting,even programmes like dr.who now have to have scripts to brainwash kids to their agenda.then there are the salaries,£1.5 pa to the expert virtue signaller lineker,£500,000 pa to autocue newsreaders£86m.on a new dead Enders studio,who the hell makes these decisions.
No doubt there will be some coming on to say that the licence fee is tremendous value for money,well if that’s really the case then scramble the service & let people decide if they want to buy it,if it’s so good they have nothing to fear,wonder why they darent do it,they might even increase their revenue.now where did I put my yellow vest?

.Dr who now have to have scripts to brainwash kids

40 odd years ago...people use to bleat on about having the black n white minstrel show on the beeb.

You can't have it both ways

Yes you can. The Beeb used to be prepared to have a few alternative views expressed in their comedy shows and dramas but much less now. The thought police have only exerted themselves in the last 20 years. I know they are following as well as leading public opinion. It is hard to know which is which.

Social norms have moved massively in 20 years, let alone 40. I’m no defender of the Daily Mail but it led a campaign to get justice for Stephen Lawrence. Homophobia is far less prevalent than it was. This is progress, in my view.
