One way to avoid it get a family member with a licence to buy your television then you get them to deliver it to your house one licence is all that's needed for multiple sets but beware what your doing is against the law but there's about as much chance of being caught as wining the Euro millions 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t watch a lot of TV and barely any bbc product. Mrs 7 likes travel, cookery etc even though she assesses what she watches as mostly rubbish. My reason for renewing is I don’t believe you can choose which laws you are going to obey. That’s a lefty, republican and timmish stance. I don’t think there will be any change in the attitude of the bbc. Their entrenched arrogance means they are right in the full knowledge that they are wrong. That applies over the whole range of bbc activity, not just coverage of Rangers. In his article RR describes a vision of Rangers supporters in the power positions at bbc. A vision it must remain. bbc News is full of lefties. Most of the rest of production is artistic. Neither is a Rangers supporting profile. We’re all too busy working and making things. Exactly and this is what has fuelled the Defund the BBC campaign and their treatment through TV Licencing of the over 75s some of which are already being taken to court. Around 260k households have decided not to renew their TV licences in 2020 despite how difficult this is made in terms of them linking the licence to commercial TV as well as their own output. They are smug and complacent and their treatment of Rangers over a long period is only one reason why people should seriously consider not renewing. Hit them in the pocket and keep the pressure on MPs to change the funding model as i would argue this would be a more a free market/free speech approach rather than lefty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get buy with a £8.99 subscription to Netflix for two screens and HD content, plus all catch up and PC content. That's enough for us and we avoid all that reality shite. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaspard 562 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Radio 4 was my main bbc usage, but nowadays it's really not worth tuning into, unless all you want is anti trump/brexit stories or plays about somebody in Somalia with gender identity issues. Can honestly say there's not 1 station or programme produced by the BBC that I would pay to view or listen to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Radio 4 used to be the epitome of British identity. Now it’s like a drop-in centre for self-pitying woke activists. Like the rest of the BBC its main function seems to be telling audiences how and what to think. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
