Paying for the BBC should be compulsory for all households, preferably through taxation. It's a state service which includes radio. Even people without a TV generally listen to the radio.

When something is so obviously a terrible idea, it is ok to just...say no thanks and ban it. We don't have to wait 15 years and then slowly ban if after a whole bunch of irreperable damage has been done to individuals and society.

UKIP, having won one of 650 seats in the 2015 general election, panicked Cameron into holding a disastrous Brexit referendum. Now, seven times Westminster loser Farage, whose party has four MPs and four Tory turncoats, has lost six by-elections in a row and the media still treat him as a future PM.

Say what you want about Starmer, but I'll say this: watching BBC News they appear to be attemting to hound him out of office. Another case of the press trying to create the news. I expect it of the RW press, but the BBC is supposed to be impartial. BBC, impartial? Heck, who am I kidding.

Maybe it’s you that’s wrong, Wes. Maybe you’re just not appealing to anyone much. You’re not convincing Reform voters but, in pandering to them, you’re pissing everyone else off. Progressives have had a decade of being scorned and ignored. Don’t criticise us for minding and doing something about it.
