just for you Sid, time to have your lips around a hook.
The BBC has just shafted the over 75's now.
Is it time this dinosaur (the Corporation not you), was dismembered now?
It offers nothing but crap programs, even loaded to its left agenda,
No decent footy/comedy/unbiased politics/decent films. Its all cooking/selling junk/dramas that no one watches.
Yet you have to pay to watch the drivel, you don't actually watch.

Do you have a license there?, Fair question
I pay for Sky and Amazon prime. My choice.
Give me the choice with the BBC, I'll save a few quid

No, just as well because it is bile, bilge, utter fkn garbage.

Ficky Tricky strikes again. The Tories hand over the cost of the over 75s free licence to the BBC who obviously can’t afford to keep it, what with it being a fifth of their entire budget, and Ficky blames...the BBC.
They must love useful idiots like you. You fall for it every time. Doff cap and tug forelock.

They can afford to pay Gary Lineker £1.7 million a year though.

The BBC doesn't have to go. It simply should earn its living like the other channels have to.
The license fee system harks back to a time when TV was in its infancy and there were no specialist channels to cater for the needs of particular groups of viewers, but now there are literally hundreds of channels catering for people's preferred programming, be that sport, comedy, drama, music, sci-fi, real-life documentaries, news, children's TV, animation, religious programming, international programming, science etc. Basically, there has never been more choice, and you can purchase whatever type of programming you wish, or indeed buy 'bundles' which offer you a choice of all these types.
It is frankly an outrage that one particular channel can demand money from you, not only to watch it's product, which you might not even want, but to operate the television you need to watch all the other channels. The BBC no longer offers a unique product, or a superior quality product, or services particular audiences any better than anyone else. Some people say they don't want advertising on the Beeb, which is fair enough, they can raise their income through subscription if they wish. What they shouldn't be entitled to do in this day and age is live in a privileged bubble by virtue of their Royal Charter, with a competitive advantage over the rest. As with any organisation that can demand their money rather than earn their money, it makes them sloppy, arrogant, wasteful and increasingly out of touch.

... did anyone see Newswatch (used to be Points of View). Main item was the Trump visit to UK. Love or hate him, the coverage was so liberal/left bias it made you cringe. The news editor responsible for coverage defended the BBC line to the end - so out of touch; and we pay for balanced reporting. The sooner this organisation is consigned to the bin the better.

We dont pay for a license but that is reflected in the standard of TV. Asside from all the usual crap on advertising supported channels which is pretty similar to the ****e you lot get ABC and SBS best programs are the ones they get off the BBC. I am pretty much Netflix only nowadays anyway I seem to find everything I need on there for a small fee each month plus a bit of the ABC ap and happy campers. Any news can be obtained online so TV for me is almost redundant.
