So thats why Nigel 'i've never been an MP' Farage is on Question Time ever two weeks...
The fact that the BBC has demonstrated itself to be a heavily biased mouthpiece for Corbyn’s Hard Left is reason enough to cut the fee.

I love the royal family ( the Queen really ) and don't find it bias. I find KoK bias.
What so if you want to watch all the F1 events for example, you have to pay money AND agree to be exposed to THEIR bias...but that's alright?

To be a socialist you can't do well for yourself?No I said you get the choice to pay to Murdoch or not. Which everyone does. The choice means there isn't as much Critism. I detest Branson so guess what I don't pay virgin. Very simple. If you hate Murdoch then don't pay sky. Fair enough.
Everyone will have their own reasons. I can't stand Gary linekar on BT sport. I find him a champagne socialist. He moans and joins in about nurse and public sector pay and taking in many refugees but when you make millions a year and live in a big house in London I guess it's easy to shout from the rooftops.

Just contradictory to your comments about Lineker that's all?Of course you can. Only have to look in London. Many do very well there don't they?
But what I was saying is if you are a huge F1 fan you HAVE to pay Murdoch...or give up F1. So kinda held to ransom really.No I said you get the choice to pay to Murdoch or not. Which everyone does.

And it is easy for all these people to spout in the manner of Linekar - Murdoch included, & you & I too probably on various aspects

Try telling Arthur Scargill that.
Completely 100% agree and I don't agree with if you are lover of F1 but that's just sadly the case you have to buy sky. I don't like it but money talks in this day and age sadly. It's a money orientated world which is a shame.
Indoctrinate them in the ways of Fox?It would be nice if Mr Murdoch gave the over 75s a free sky subscription to all his channels...
You obviously much prefer the Murdoch inspired right wing garbage at Sky...
Agreed with your comments about Lineker, a relatively talentless individual as a presenter.No I said you get the choice to pay to Murdoch or not. Which everyone does.

However, regardless of our views and politics, if the person with the cheque book says they will pay you £x million for doing A, B and C, then you would be a fool to turn them down.
Surely we need to be a little less envious of others and their negotiation skills and maybe work on improving our own a bit more?
In an effort to be unfair to the perceived unfair...the process is faulty imo.10% of all court cases in this country are instigated by the BBC, if that figure is not sad enough, then the fact that they are against the poorest people in our society should be. Also, they have taken much glee in being the voice of diversity and equal rights for women (staff members are forced to take seminars on the subjects) whilst the "top brass" have been rolling around the floor laughing and pinching each other's chubby little flanks at what they have got away with.
I agree...said before that all I need is one commentator in the style of maybe Brian Moore/Jon Motson.Why don't the BBC put normal match of the day on BBC one and then on BBC two they could put one on without all the rubbish and see which one people watch then hopefully they can get rid of Lineker and the other idiots and save a fortune.

The 'experts' rarely offer anything startling. Maybe have one at the end analysing & explaining the tactical side, & anything especially controversial for 10mins.

Warning: OLD THREAD REVIVAL
I have to say, the BBC have really pulled the stops out with the "bitesize" & CBBC learning resources.
My kids were chuffed to find out Sergio Aguero will be teaching them Spanish. Well done the Beeb.

The point is, it wouldn't be.just keep everything the same but let it be paid for via advertising.
So many advert placements on things or mentions of brands through chat or car programmes etc, just keep everything the same but let it be paid for via advertising. We're so used to it on all other channels that it wouldn't really matter and then let's those keep it who want to and stop all the complaining over who earns how much and if they're worth it etc, gives them a level playing field to compete and saves us having to fork out. Surely that's win-win for everyone.
Unless you are counting cwrThe whole reason BBC output is such high quality is it isn’t beholden you advertisers and has a public service ethos. You can’t just make it ITV and expect it to maintain quality. Market forces will drive it to lowest common denominator quickly.

To be honest they had a pissed up Dave Bennett on as well I think.Still better than the local alternative TBH. I seem to remember Mercia commentary made CWR look like... some good commentator guy.
And the news is better than the CET. That is what commercial local news looks like, constant ad traps and click bait shite.
BBC aint perfect but it caters for audience from craddle to grave and covers education, radio, web etc etc.. It offers a public service and is diverse and fair if slightly left of centre. Makes programmes that reflect British culture rather than obsessing about States. Look at it track record. BBC offers amazing value for money for people who enjoy a spot of deep and meaningful tv from time to time. Tory boys and girls hate the BBC and would love to see it go, and by cutting funding they are slowly strangling it. And what are the options. I detuned / blocked ITV many years ago. Sky is slightly better than it used to be but can't make it's own programmes and wouldn't give Murdoch my cash. Netflix and Amazon is mostly American stuff and very mixed quality.
