The BBC Doesn’t Want Viewers — It Wants Hostages
So let me get this straight.
I pay Netflix for Netflix.
I pay YouTube for YouTube.
I do not watch the BBC.
And yet the BBC still thinks it has a divine right to rummage around in my wallet?
This isn’t public service broadcasting anymore.
It’s institutional arrogance wrapped in nostalgia.
The licence fee was built for an age of three channels, static screens and enforced national attention.
That world is dead. Buried. Gone.
Instead of competing like everyone else, the BBC’s response to losing relevance is essentially:
👉 “If people won’t choose us, we’ll force them.”
Charging people because they watch Netflix or YouTube isn’t modernisation —
it’s a state-backed shakedown.
And what really grates?
The moral superiority.
This organisation still talks down to the public like it’s the nation’s conscience, while repeatedly failing to get its own house in order.
Maybe before demanding more compulsory cash, it should stop posturing as the moral compass of Britain and start asking some very hard questions about itself.
How many scandals does it take?
How many internal failures quietly managed, minimised, or brushed aside?
How many times does the public have to be told “lessons have been learned” before trust is completely gone?
You don’t get to lecture the country, alienate huge swathes of the audience, pump out bias, repeats and self-regard…
…and then demand payment from people who’ve actively walked away.
That’s not public service.
That’s monopoly thinking on life support.
Imagine Tesco billing you because you shopped at Aldi.
Imagine Spotify invoicing you because you bought a CD.
You’d call it insane — because it is.
If the BBC’s content is good, people will pay voluntarily.
If they won’t, you don’t get to threaten, guilt-trip, or criminalise them for refusing.
The future is choice.
The BBC hates choice — because choice exposes irrelevance.
No more reverence.
No more compulsory funding.
No more pretending this is about anything other than control.

Just done my last report for @5liveSport ending 51 yrs at the Beeb & 44 in the Sports Dept. My decision. Will remain on this platform, fulminating & eulogising in equal measure. Thanks for listening & ( usually) the supportive feedback.

All you need to do is stop paying the licence tax and the @bbc disappears.
Forever.

Two-tier Keir is once again going back on his promises to the people of this country - by making us non-voting members of a two-tier European Union. Under this appalling sell out of a deal the UK will have to accept EU law on a host of measures from food standards to emissions trading.
We will have to accept whatever changes the EU decides to make to those laws.
We will have to accept the rulings of the European Court of Justice in the definition and enforcement of those laws. We will therefore lose our freedom to innovate in areas such as gene editing and much more besides.
We will lose much of our freedom to do proper free trade deals. Worst of all we will have no say whatsoever in making those rules and those laws and no ability to change them.
Two-tier Keir is the orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels. He has sacrificed UK fishing interests, handing over our seas to be plundered again - when under the current Brexit agreement we are on the point of taking back full legal control, next year, of every fish in our waters. He is clearly bent on signing up to a deal on free movement which could give 80 million younger EU nationals the right to come to this country. He appears from this document to be preparing to allow the EU to regain control of UK policy on state aids and competition.
Most bizarrely of all he has agreed that Britain will once again be paying countless millions of pounds into EU coffers - for the privilege of becoming the non-voting punk of the EU Commission! What have we got in return? Wishy washy EU promises to get rid of some of the vexatious and unnecessary bureaucracy that they have been using against British travellers and business - but no real guarantees that this will be enforced and above all no real guarantee on frictionless trade between GB and Northern Ireland, which should be entirely a matter for the UK and not the EU.
This deal is hopelessly one sided. It combines the vassalage of Chequers with the surrenderism of Chagos. Starmer promised at the election that he would not go back on Brexit. He has broken that promise as he broke his promise on tax.
This deal should not be signed, should not be ratified and should never come into force and if it is the next Conservative government should kick it out forthwith.
