Think that’s the first time I’ve agreed with one of your posts in quite a while!!

Every other tv channel raises funding via advertising and in the modern world that’s what the BBC should do and scrap tv licence fees. Save a fortune on the admin required to collect the fees as well so win win. Growing up the Beeb had quality commentators for every sport, Wolstenholme, Arlott, Benaud, Coleman, Longhurst, Maskell, Allis et al but those days are long gone I’m afraid along with most of their sports coverage.


If commercial funding was the catalyst for terrestrial TV getting the big sporting events and presenters ITV would have done it already.

Anyone who thinks the BBC is ‘left meaning’ given what we know about the Chair, his links, and the present incarnation of what passes for government in this country these days, should get their eyes and ears tested.
Just another example of our client media gaslighting folk in this country, and getting away with it because there are masses who are too dense, suggestible or bigoted to make an actual, informed, uncontaminated judgement. Don’t think. Just ‘feel’.

Thanks for suggesting I’m ‘dense’, chaos.

All I see on BBC News is Tory bashing and Starmer getting his bottom tongued. It’s been like that for years too.

I don’t really care as my next vote is as yet undecided, but the BBC is definitely too PC at the minute,

I’ll not bother with name calling, despite me having a different opinion to some, I’m better than that x.

Surprise surprise, it's turned into a political debate.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

So you move it to non footy.

Can't have those pesky politics now can we?

It's a political choice to defund the BBC, which has led to the Burns departure, so I'm afraid you can't take politics out of the debate.

Exactly, that's why it's been moved to non footy, simple as that, I'm not taking sides.
