Wow, all that from Virgin for a fraction of the cost? That sounds like a great deal, which I would look into if I lived in an area where you can get cable. I have also downloaded all the apps you can get for dodgy streams and tbh it’s not worth the aggro, unless it’s a game you’re desperate to watch.
I don’t like the BBC because of its politics, in fact they’ve been awful with Brexit and the likes of Farage have a season ticket to go on Question Time. It’s more because for 12ish quid a month it’s good value. I would pay 12 quid a month just for their local sport coverage. They’re doing commentary on us next season and we’re non league FFS. Good luck in a getting a purely commercial provider doing that.
On the other hand, the 5 part documentary on Thatcher has been more than balanced. And what of the investigations into care homes, into abuse of people with mental issues?
The BBC's journalism at its best is the envy of the world. The whinos on here have clearly nothing to compare it with. 'Killing Eve', 'Gentleman Jack', 'Years and Years'.
I don't begrudge paying one penny.
This country is so far to the right that it's no wonder a neutral broadcaster is seen as faux Communist!
The BBC is corrupt, and politically infantile. On the news channels im tired of listening to Bob from Oldham who has been let down by the government, or the equivalent. Its agenda is to destroy any government apart from Labour.
Its entertainment is a joke, the family sit down to watch tv after tea, and get the One show at 7-00 followed by tired soap operas that have been on for thirty years.
Comedy is now saying the word fck, or something similar. Its mental age is ten, and as has been said, we have to pay. Thats not democracy, we have to pay infantile fascists to be fed p oo.
IT HAS TO GO.
So you support the services that don't pay their fair share of tax and in Sky's case are responsible for turning football into obscene capitalism - a venture that the BBC can no longer afford. Oh the ironing.
You shouldn't take the disapproval rating on here as any way representative of the nation. On here you have largely grumpy old men (by nature if not age) with little appreciation of the arts, life membership of the 'thrash em and bash em' society and minimal experience of broadcasting around the world. The BBC's news service is still THE gold standard for truth and integrity (for all its faults).
