I don't have any interest in reading a 500 page report, I went to the primary source to avoid the ever-predictable "that's guido therefore I'm just going to ignore it" deflections.
If the BBC's impartiality issues could be described solely as left wing bias I doubt they'd be scoring as poorly as they are.
Me neither I meant this thread.If the BBC's impartiality issues could be described solely as left wing bias I doubt they'd be scoring as poorly as they are.
There's no thread on ITV bias or Sky bias or Channel 5 bias yet as the graphic shows it's that close in terms of perception of bias.
It's not so much about ignoring Guido but realising that Paul Staines deliberately based his blog offshore because he thinks British libel laws are too oppressive.
unlike general taxation which covers many different needs, the BBC licence fee is as the name implies solely for the BBC.
Big sporting events, big entertainment shows etc...

Quite correct, I object to compulsory being made to pay for a view of the world I do not subscribe to.
You don’t have to pay. I don’t have a TV license. Haven’t watched TV for 8 years now. The option that could work but will never be adopted by any UK government is quite simple - TV providers such as Sky, BT etc all have the ability to block households from receiving any channel they want so give us the option to opt out of being able to view all of the BBC. It really is that simple.

How do you suggest we do that with Radio stations?
The same as commercial radio station, I still find it strange that people think that charging for entertainment they do not use is acceptable, I have not listened to the BBC radio for about 8 years.chrispmartha said:

The fact we have Nukes doesn't change that figure. We maintain a nuclear deterrent, and the ability to operate our armed forces anywhere in the globe (few countries can do this).
I'm glad we have that capability both as part of NATO, and as an independent country.
