BBC license fee ‘to be abolished in 2027’. What will that mean?

[Pickman's model]

Pushback against Dorries from Sunak et al; ‘last settlement’ wasn’t cleared through Cabinet:

What's happened here I think is as discussed Dorries acted on Johnson's orders for a diversion but sunak's saying nothing happens on this without my say so, distancing himself from the hapless johnson and his minions. It will be a bloody leadership battle

Just saw #DefundtheBBC is trending on twitter alongside #BackBoris. Worthless fucking human trash and cancer every last one of them. They should make not paying the licence fee a capital offence. That would teach these dipshits a thing or two lol

Someone being purchasing a lot of bots this week? Maybe that’s what Johnson is discussing with Putin.

The government says a "change of ownership in BBC will give it the tools it needs to succeed in the future as a public service broadcaster while protecting its distinctiveness".

Oh wait my mistake. They said Channel 4 not BBC. However I can see why they can’t apply the same reasoning to the Beeb, privatise it and do away with the license.

How does it remain a “public service broadcaster” if privatised?

ITV is classed as a public service broadcaster.

I've screenshotted this incitement to violence and sent it to the relevant agencies. This is exactly what the various far right networks were saying in the US before Jan 6

There are places I'd rather go looking for a scrap than Salford, myself.

If you want a scrap, go into a Rangers pub in Glasgow, and shout 'King Billy was a paedo'. If the ambulance gets there quickly enough (and red times are up to an hour at the moment) you may live. (I'm only partly joking.).

I know very little about Glasgow, but I am from Salford.

I think the equivalent would be doing something Liverpool/Leeds based but I wouldn't have much of a clue about football.

It's really shit. Times are hard, there'll be kids who don't have permanent internet. They shouldn't have to miss out.

It may come as a shock, but as a child in the 50s in the Outer Hebrides, we had no television. We played out in the Summer, and read books in the Winter.

It may come as a shock Sass, but that was standard until the 90s. even in London.

At least that's what my mum and dad said.

Yes, but imagine your family was the one family that could not afford books.

We had a library. A cupboard in the classroom, and a public library. No one bought books, there was no where in Tarbert that sold them.

You were lucky to have a cupboard. We used to have to fetch our books from a bucket of slurry in a field.

You kept your slurry in a bucket? La de dah!

Yes, yes. The point was it is relative not absolute.

That fact that you or I didn't have them is not the point. Other kids their age do, and therefore they are excluded from it.

Slurry! Luxury!!

Probably the only post of yours I've ever agreed with.

They should smash the paedophile statues off Portland Place and use the rubble to stone the whole bunch of cunts to death.

I bet he shares that one about how bin men now just wheel them around instead of throwing them over their shoulder.
