We’ve all seen how “herd mentality” works & can be harnessed in the recent Celebrity Traitors. This is the equivalent- in that Donald Trump’s push to remove trust in bbc is like the uk population is being told by the traitors not to trust the faithful.

If the BBC is guilty of anything it has been far too ready and willing to follow the right-wing media narratives pushed by the billionaire press barons, instead of pursuing its own independent journalism based on exposing and uncovering the truth – regardless of whether people want to hear it.

Hear hear! 👍😊

I say - yes of course it needs to be an equitable rise. And I would also support adjusting tax bands to make them more progressive & more proportionate (currently a minimum wage worker pays a greater proportion of their salary in tax than someone earning ten times their salary which is wrong)

Because in the UK there is a lot of people saying they want more Nordic style services but want to pay USA style taxes.

Much of UK population & media “we need better public services!”

Also the much of the UK population and media “we don’t want to pay higher taxes”

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.
