Just gets an error message ????????????
What get's an error message?
The BBC needs a good shake up imho. They pay overated B list celebs millions and for what ?
I dread to think how much public money they give themselves.
It's becoming like the USA with being driven by greed not content. There used to be worth watching documentaries and comedies especially. Not anymore !!
Looks like they are making moves towards a subscription based service, good luck with that, the competition is already established and growing.
Because the BBC is an institution we have all grown up with, it has been quite difficult to separate what the BBC does from reality. I agree about the comedy and documentaries, unfortunately it has all been politicised, I wasn't aware until Brexit, that's how insidious it is. They probably did a good job holding govt to account at one time, but now they won't hold them to account unless it promotes the globalist agenda, they would rather hold the public to account instead, that is arse about face, they also promote UKGov propaganda in foreign countries as an extension of UK foreign policy, basically it acts as the propaganda extension of the foreign office when setting up operations abroad through BBC media action. I already pay income tax that pays for our big govt and foreign aid, why should I be taxed more?
They also try to make out that TV licensing is mandatory, it is not, however they screwed us by extending its use to ALL broadcast media, not just the BBC, also wrong.
It's not restricted to the BBC either the politicised MSM promotes a one sided view of the globalist agenda, the BBC is the worst for it, compare with the much more informal ITV news for example, there is more balanced coverage, even though still biased, more of ITV's news just report the news without reporters opinion or politicisation, they still do it though, some channels are worst than others.
Why should I be paying for that? Unless I supported the globalist agenda? Or I hadn't realised what was happening? It's galling to think I've paid thousands over the years for this, to be fair I have enjoyed quality documentaries and comedy until recent years, but the politicisation has gone too far, comedy is 'woke' and left wing, documentaries are 'woke' and left wing, especially the nature and wildlife documentaries, incessantly pushing the climate change agenda, just report the facts and all would be OK, don't throw the guilt trip onto the screen unless it is a specific documentary to do that, I like to think I'm an adult and can make my own decision on facts presented, but if 'facts' are politicised then no................
Most of what the BBC does is available elsewhere, it's had it's time, I'm moving on, I already pay for Netflix and Prime, youtube is free and high quality (although I also object to youtube as it's owned by Google, you just can't escape the globalist agenda, it's everywhere)
The TV Licensing company (outsourced for profit Capita) must be having a hard time, there must be thousands of people cancelling if mild mannered me has taken the leap, they must be on a recruitment drive for extra letter writers and door knockers 😂
