Who the actual fuck is running this machine? This is a front page article that amounts to little more than ‘the rich pay loads of tax and are going to fuck off if you put it up’.

There's been a fair few reports along the same lines recently, presumably softening people up for when Labour ditch their non-dom plans.

Yeah, but The Archers and some documentaries, mate.

 

The BBC isn't changing. They're fucking stuffed full of Tory cunts pumping out propaganda daily. Their target audience, the people who still trust them, is basically swing voters. Mondeo nonces, etc. They decide elections.

 

It needs chucking in the sea.

BBC News needs de-Toryfying, but I'm not ready to join the right-wing clamour for us to surrender the field to Murdoch.

This.  We need to draw a line between the BBC's output and BBC News.  And when it comes to BBC News, the fact that loads of right wing nutjobs call it lefty woke, means that perhaps there are pockets of both sides lingering around.  Me, I only see the horrible tories.  The stench turns my stomach.

 

I also disagree about Radio 4 comedy.  There's been some great stuff in the recent past, as well as the obvious brilliant stuff in the 90s. Aha!

I no longer equate wanting getting rid of the licence fee, and either make the BBC subscription based or ad based or a mix, or binned, as simply being a right-wing endeavour. They’ve been legitimising the shift rightward for decades. If this version of the Labour Party isn’t right wing enough for them, they can - and I say this with my chest pushed out out as far as it goes, channeling my inner Brian Blessed - fuck off. 
 

If the BBC was some defender of the neutral ground, genuinely impartial, informative, and honest then I could at least see the argument for it. As it stands, it’s and expensive Tory mouthpiece. Anyway, it’s in managed decline as it is. Not quite at the death rattle yet, but certainly its eyes are starting to glaze over. it will be going, it’s just a matter of how and when.

People still listen to The Archers?

 

I thought it was for old biddies who couldn't get up to turn the channel over.

 

It's an every day tale of cuntry folk. That's why I love it.

Against my better judgement,  I had the misfortune to have to watch the bbc's pre-budget coverage this morning. Fucking hell, where do you start with that? From what I saw, every talking head they found seemed to be a small business owner who was convinced the budget would be shit and now might be changing their mind about the the staff they were going to take on. It would also appear that people on the minimum wage were unavailable to talk about being better off. Then we had some cunt outside parliament who seemed intent on shoe horning 'broken manifesto promises' and 'freebies' into every interview (funny how this hasn't been a thing for the past 14 years). The bbc do seem to love a 'row that won't go away', dont they? You also have to admire how they deftly flip flop from 'massive tax rises' to 'everything is shit, why aren't you fixing it straight away?' Had to leave when politics live came on because I'd have ended up putting my foot through the screen.
