I have always supported the BBC and paid the licence fee even though most of the TV content is awful and the only part I use regularly is the radio stations (and those have gone downhill too). If this happens I am done with it.

I’m hoping this will get rid of the awful news bulletins on the radio stations.

Is this good news?

It’s so annoying, I turn the volume down when the news comes on, but often forget to turn it back up. I’ve written in so many times. Maybe we need a campaign to remove the news from 6 Music?

Oh, sorry 😢 wish they would add more dates. There’s clearly huge demand.

Yes, or film it so we can watch it in the comfort of our homes (Glastonbury style)!

I guess the chances of getting a ticket in the resales is close to zero.

Oh no, I’ve now seen it too.

Yes, but rigging an election is much more difficult when the margins are large.
