539 000 people cancelled their TV licence in 2025 / 2026 … if their BBC is so great – why would all those people do that ? Or perhaps there is something very wrong with the BBC … Let’s make it a million less licences in 2026/7 …

Lol…even the BBC has noticed that the BBC is spinning the licence fee drop to demand change to the funding system…after having spent years insisting there was no other viable way to fund the BBC…
‘Set against the backdrop of the BBC’s ongoing negotiations with the government over a new royal charter, the document features words such as “challenges”, “financial pressures” and even “jeopardy”. They were repeated in a press conference with senior leaders ahead of its release.
With its current charter set to expire next year and sales of TV licences declining, the BBC needs to persuade the government that its role has never been more vital – and that it needs a new funding model to deliver it.
The optics around this are a strategic choice. I can’t remember an annual report where the difficulties for the BBC have been so front and centre. It was a message for the government and a new prime minister in waiting.’

We know what they want…a national levy and streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon and Youtube to be included.
This not only massively boosts the BBC’s funding but will be part of the move to control their output, especially political content, by government which wants to silence inconvenient truths that the freeflow of information facilitates.
pug, you beat me to it – well done pug!
With the likes of netflix and Amazon being truly massive and global – could they pull
Out of the UK market if the marxists try to use them to subsidise the state broadcaster?
Would the Marxists then put the charge on
Council tax like they really want to
?
Just a fact….where Muslims start colonising bad things happen in those countries and not long before the Muslims are trying to annex their own little ‘Pakistans’ and then building on that to take over completely. Helps of course to have stupid and weak native leaders who not just refuse to stop it but actively work, collaborate, with the Muslim colonisers to allow the takeover.
The ‘Lancaster Plan’ isn’t satire…it’s happening.
Thinking out loud here. In light of the horrendous event in Devon, I’m wondering if the reason those in the entertainment world come out as lefties, is because its safer. Maybe, just maybe they do have a differing political opinion but, like sheep, and a lucrative career to think of, it’s expedient to stay schtum about their leanings – in the same way it was career suicide to come out as gay decades ago, today its your political affiliation.
