paranoid android Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 "You’ll soon need to sign in to watch and listen to things on BBC iPlayer and iPlayer Radio. And the same goes for some other parts of the BBC. This is so we can make the BBC more relevant and personal to you." Is it, aye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I thought it was to try and make sure folk have tv licenses (I didn't realise it was for the radio as well)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I can do without the BBC. Its to force every c**t to pay the license fee, if they want to do that they should make it optional to receive the BBC channels or not, like Sky etc do. They would find that no c**t would buy it because it is government run propaganda and the programs are shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Have you got a tv license. No. clear cookies yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Never understand the knicker wetting over the TV licence. It's worth it to allow them to keep making commercially unviable but excellent quality programmes for BBC4 and radio alone. And it costs f**k all in the grand scheme of things.

Whilst that is a decent point, it's a point that people don't want to be funding horrible propaganda. Like me. Am I f**k giving them money for that.

Stuff like Planet Earth, Radio 4, The A Word etc... make £12.18, or whatever it a month, seem like absolutely f**k all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 There was a funny interview recently on News 24 with a Russia Today journalist who they attempted to give a hard time re being "state propaganda/Putin's mouthpiece" and so on. Every argument they attempted, she turned it back right on the BBC and said they were doing exactly the same thing. "Ah, but we're funded by the British taxpayers..." "We're funded by the Russian taxpayers directly rather than going through the charade of making them buy a license..." The BBC seem to have definitely lurched to the right in recent years, but I sometimes wonder if all they're doing is mirroring the mood of the UK as a whole. A lot of seems jarring up here in Scotland where it hasn't happened as much, but when you listen to some middle-England Question Time audiences for example, the BBC seem to be going with the flow of the zeitgeist in many ways.

effeffsee_the2nd Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I don't really care about the content all that much, its no my cup of tea, I don't pay the licence because of the all the fawning tribute programmes they made after jimmy saville died despite knowing and covering up what a fuckin monster he was the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I sure we don't watch or listen to a single BBC broadcast. Going to speak to my girlfriend about sacking off the payment, not that she'll ever want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I like 5 Live's film show, 6 Music and Radio Scotland's football coverage. I think these things could easily exist in a commercial world. Don't mind paying the fee as even for this tiny bit of the BBC that I use it seems good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
