The BBC is the greatest broadcaster in the world. It's the standard that everyone measures themselves against. If we lose the BBC, it won't be quite as bad as losing the royal family, but an integral part of this country will have gone. But then, I'm an old guy. Terry Wogan Too often, there are...

Do you? Why’s that? Edit; apologies, yes you do need one for any live telly. I think that will change.

Why on earth have you got a licence, then? It’s akin to saying a buy one get two free offer on biscuits is not value for money while putting them in your basket and tutting.

It’s not a universal license fee. Don’t use it, don’t pay for it.

If I had to pay £13 a month for the BBC radio channels, I’d honestly be quite happy. I listen to Radio 4, 6, and 3 in rotation almost constantly through the day and regularly dive into the archives on BBC Sounds. If I had to choose between radio and telly, telly would win every time. For the...

Quite.

Exactly. Nobody is currently forced to pay for a TV license.

I wouldn’t argue with your preferences, that’s down to you and what you like but the BBC not value for money? I’m sorry I just can’t accept that as a universal truth. The list of their output and resources is practically endless and far too comprehensive to list here. From shite like...

I think the BBC will change its funding model but I’m not expecting a full scrapping of the license fee anytime soon. The current motives behind the scrapping of the fee are right wing, divisive, and designed to weaken the organisation. This approach rarely works. A more measured approach that...

I like Gary’s standpoint on the Tory’s immigration law and his refusal to apologise. Loathe his standpoint on fair taxation and Qatar.

How bad is your memory?

You’re more likely to get yourself banned form the thread than it go to the pit. But then that wouldn’t fuss you, you’re ignoring the thread 😉

I recall a comedian comparing people that rail against things they see on the internet that don’t affect them at all and that they don’t like, as somebody seeing an advert on a notice board for guitar lessons, ringing the number and shouting down the phone “BUT I DON’T WANT f***ing GUITAR...

You are aware it’s not obligatory to partake in any of the threads on here? Anyway, I can see you’re here to try and drag this into the pit. Where you would still no doubt be involved. So I’ll take your posts as commentary rather than participatory. And ignore them. 👍

What it would take is for it to descend into name calling, baiting and bullying. So far as I know, this has been nothing but an interesting, reasoned debate with no such idiocy. It’s been a big news story and continues to be rather interesting. Don’t fret, like nearly every single thread on...

Squeezing a bit more out of it. Tomorrow’s Mail. The answer, for those at the back of the class is she said it on the BBC, he said it on Twitter.

They really cannot let it go. Spiteful shitbags.

Lovely, not seen any CWS for a while.
