Funny how the “We’re not allowed to mention Christmas anymore!” brigade never complain about the Coca Cola “Holidays are coming” advert that has been going for years.

If you don’t like the BBC, I suggest that you go to America and watch their TV for a day. It gives you a migraine. The BBC also keeps the standards of the other outlets relatively high. If you think we watch shit now, imagine it with no BBC. And they actually care about drama, children’s, factual.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.
So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

I swear to god, I bang on about the BBC News programmes that make me rage if I watch them (I haven’t for ages) but damn, if that infirm, dementia addled, egomaniac comes for them you’d best believe I’ll stand up for them.
The BBC is so much more than news.

Honestly, I did NOT have "punching the air and going HELL YES to Chris Patten" on my bingo card today. But what he says is SO rarely said and needed saying SO badly!
"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

The BBC gives a voice/chance to aspiring writers/playwrights via radio and competitions. Also poetry. The winners are aired on Radio. They have also given present day well known actors a stepping stone onto the national theatre boards. They have made UK films for cinemas.

Just browsing the week’s schedule on Sky Arts (available on Freesat and Freeview), and I see there’s a new programme on Thursday, 8pm, about The Railway Children film.

Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship
