Fra HughesWhen defund the BBC campaign meets Irish reunification Boris Johnson and sections of the Conservative Party are calling for the scrapping of the BBC license fee.

In reality they are simply garnering7 leverage for more political control over the State broadcaster. When I say state broadcaster I of course really mean 'state paid propagandists'. 

I have been a longtime critic of the institution which regularly spoon feeds us, its listeners and viewers with the latest government agendas to condition us to accept illegal wars, colour revolutions, and outright lies as the truth, while they create their consensus narrative around a rule based, unipolar world order, led by white European supremacists and capitalists from London, Washington, Vancouver and increasingly Brisbane. 

Which will come first? Irish reunification when BBC NI will become defunct as the Irish state propagandist takes over, or the Conservative Party's threatened demise of the national broadcaster? 

Either way it's a win win for the listeners / viewers and lose-lose for the overpaid, overbearing privileged elite, that have long ruled over us. 

Personally I won't shed any crocodile tears at the decline of the anti-republican, anti-nationalist and one time anti-Catholic Broadcasting House cabal.

May I suggest they turn Ormeau Avenue and Blackstaff House (do they have any visible black staff) into to a hostel for the homeless.

That way it might be of some real service to the people?

  1. Defund the BBC and let it be run by corporations. Fra certainly only thinks things through half way. You think it's biased now? Just wait until it's run by Big Pharma or Murdoch.

  2. Defunding the BBC is one of the worst ideas that this trainwreck of a government have come up with, and that's saying something.

    The BBC sets an extremely high standard, to which all other providers compete with. The Nolan Show, for all of its problems, affords the North forensic analysis and attention, as does TalkBack.

    The BBC's documentary collection is easily worth the license fee.

    The entire British Isles and beyond will lose if this idiotic policy is allowed to continue, though I suspect it won't.

    1. Brandon,

      I agree but I'm also in favour of continuous review and oversight. Privatization is the Tories wet dream, I'm surprised at Fra for not seeing this.
