To me it seems like one big state propaganda network, which is probably why the government forces us to fund it, it is so biased and political, I am sick of being told how I must think the Olympics was a good use of public money and how I must be excited about the royal wedding even though I am a republican.
It’s like some sort of communist state brainwashing network. I wish they would let me decide what I want to think and which TV services I want to buy and fund. I simply cannot abide by the principle of being forced to buy a certain service or else you can’t use any of that type of product, after all I don’t have to pay Persil so that I can use Daz washing powder.
This is £120 a year the government could give to reduce students living costs! Let the public choose what their money gets spent on just like David Cameron wants to with welfare, if people want to support the BBC then they can subscribe, if the BBC has to scale back then so be it, at least this would be a moral way of operating, every other channel has to stand on their own two feet why not the BBC? Why doesn’t ITV or Sky get public money? There isn’t one decent argument that morally justifies this gangster like way of operating! Not the value for money or the service we would lose, nothing! Let the people choose what they buy and which TV networks to fund!
Strip SaVILE of his knighthood and the BBC of their licence fee as neither deserve to have them!
