The BBC cant be trusted.....

The BBC has well and truly broken its bond of trust. It should be dismantled, and all licence fees for the current year repaid in full.

Here is my overwhelming evidence to support this.

Breaking News: Massive media corporation with tens of thousands of staff makes many mistakes over the period of many years

If we're getting rid of media corporations with an unfortunate knack for spouting constant bull**** we should at least have the decency to start with the Daily Mail or the Daily Express

BBC couldn't act on Savile claims as it goes way up to govt. if they acted then the govt. would cover it up. They couldn't win.

At least the mail / express are honest in the ambitions.

The BBC has lied consistently to protect its self.

I only complain, because it does this at the public expense. Hence why it should be beyond reproach.

I don't find either of them very honest at all.

As for the BBC, your claim that we should instantly dismantle the largest broadcaster in the world because, in your opinion, falsely implying that someone is a paedophile is the straw that broke the camel's back, is nothing but right wing reactionary nonsense.

Oh give over OP. you obviously have too much time on your hands posting all them links. The BBC is a truly massive company it is bound to make mistakes; look at the positives at least we don't have channels like Fox, ABC, NBC dominating our television market. The BBC is an iconic feature of British society.

This whole problem is the result of pressures built up by left wing influences.

To be honest, the BBC cant survive this. This time in a year, we will be having a very different conversation. Probably about how correct I was now.

Oh yes, everything bad the BBC ever does is because of the mystical undefined ~~left wing influences~~ exerting their magical power from the netherworld. This is why I tend not to take the things you say very seriously, you're on permanent mindless campaign against the left and you conflate anything you don't like with leftism.

This time in a year I probably won't even be on this site any more but I'm pretty sure the BBC will be doing just fine.

Only an idiot would pay their license fee if everyone just stopped paying it and they will be forced to change.

It hardly had a bond of trust. Remember in the 50s when they had that van coming round and people believed that they could check-up on you watching tv without a licence? That technology doesn't exist. And when you buy a tv your details are passed on to them. You don't need a licence to a buy a tv, you only need a licence to watch live transmissions.

What do you think the main reason people buy TVs is?

I see your point, but do you honestly want to take down the biggest broadcasting station in the uk?

To watch dvds or play games. Not everyone who buys a tv uses it to receive live transmissions.

I completely agree, it's horrible to think that the money everybody with a tv pays for tv licencing had been used to cover up for a peadophille ring. I think people should be able to opt out for paying for the BBC I hardly watch it anyway and don't think the money people pay should be used for such disgusting purposes.

This whole debacle adds further fuel to how the Saville claims have undoubtedly been exaggerated by attention-seeking idiots like this man.

He's got the wrong man, it seems. I don't think anyone's yet accused him of making up that he was abused.

Unless you know different, "attention seeking idiot" is a disgraceful things to say.
