After the BBC is destroyed, will the NHS be the only thing left that they haven't completely strawberry floated up (not for want of trying)?

The BBC is worth trying to save because the alternative, in terms of news, will be even worse and quite frightening. It's no longer worth trying to save in its own right and they only have themselves to blame for that.

The single best thing that could happen for this country is Rupert Murdoch dying.

He's 90 so it won't be long.

But that still leaves us with his sons. Plus the Mail, Express, Telegraph.....

The Express and the Mirror are owned by the same people, which I found very annoying.

Exactly. Murdoch is a toxic banana split, but I don't see much changing when he dies. The world is full of immoral rich banana splits who'll do exactly the same things that he's done.

Kussenburg saw this coming, buddied up with Johnson, turned BBC news into a propaganda wing and got out before the gooseberry fool hit the fan. :lol:

Whilst I'm sure this happening now is partly related to recent events its been the exact plan for a long time.



As for the elderly. It was the Tories that did away with the free licensing fee for Jawa and co.

Will the bbc at some point realise that pandering to these banana splits doesn’t even help them.

It won't happen, but after privatisation I hope the new commercial BBC is anti-Tory and spends 24 hours a day pumping out left wing propaganda. ;)

Look no further than Brit Box for an insight to the great quality TV programming we will enjoy in the future.
