So if the BBC is primarily funded by the licence fee, and you can request to not pay the fee,have you all done so?
Nope, I pay it, and I'll continue to. I see no reason to destroy our biggest public service broadcaster to the exclusive benefit of weaponised, billionare-owned, politically motivated, right-wing media like in the US. The flaws of the BBC exist thousandfold in those that are clamouring to take it's place.
lmao. lolll.
There are independent left-wing media outlets you can give your money to.
Who says I don't? But none of them dominate the mainstream like the right-wing outlets do, and the only significant oppositon they have is from the BBC. The BBC may have warts, but I'm not going to let good be the enemy of perfect.
That's sad to hear. I do hope you're contributing as much if not more towards left wing media to help reduce the harm.
Instead you'se have your own brand of billionaire motivated, politically-owned, right-wing media to help push genocide denial and transphobia.
I haven't ever paid it, but only because I'm an insane person who doesn't use anything that would require a TV license
Bad news, I'm afraid: communications received from alien emperors while in a mushroom-induced fugue count as live television under Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004, even if it's timeshifted and redshifted.
They can't be emperor, I didn't vote for em
You and me both. I also don't feel comfortable giving money to people who protected a bunch of paedophiles.
Only thing I really watched on the BBC was Doctor Who and thankfully that's been shit for years now. Thanks Chibnall.
