How are you coping with the unsociable hours ?

The attack on the Beeb from Vote Leave government defies logic
With the UK economically weakened by Brexit and trying to strive to be global Britain, the Beeb is an excellent source of soft power and also is part of the glue that hold Britain together
Meanwhile the flag shagging and faux patriotism continues, just more self harm that only benefits outsiders

Totally agree, attacking the Beeb is attacking Britain and reducing its global reach. The people who benefit from such actions are China, Russia and the USA as a weakened BBC leaves more elbow room for their own global media efforts.
No true patriot, regardless of their political persuasion, would advocate the weakening of the BBC. To do so would be to act in the interests of the players mentioned above.

I bet you would mount the same defence of other global leading British institutions like say our universities in Oxford and Cambridge?

Ah, whataboutery. Don’t hide behind tangential issues, stick to the topic under discussion.

I have……if you are unable to process more subtle elements of a debate that’s your problem not mine. The BBC is not simply bricks and mortar, just like the universities in Oxford and Cambridge.
Simply because it exists doesn’t mean it’s an unedifying source of good or truth.
Unless of course you’re one of those Herberts that believe in God……….apologies i understand where you are coming from now.

If it's whataboutery you enjoy Rob, how about your employer reaping the rewards of Tory donations.

I'm not convinced the war on the Beeb would be as popular with Tory voters as they think. Its actually something Labour could capitalise on.
Agreed. I would say that a majority of Conservative voters actually want a strong global BBC, it reflects well on the country as a whole.
I can understand that some Conservative voters feel that an agenda that has prioritised social progressiveness at the expense of everything else has been rammed unsubtly down their throats, but that doesn’t mean they all want the entire infrastructure dismantled, just that they want to feel a bit less like they’re being preached to.
These loonies who want to completely dismantle Britain’s soft power infrastructure are very much guilty of throwing the baby out with the bath water, and are being cheered on all the way by a small number of nation states and global media moguls who find the BBC expensive and annoying to have to compete with.
Politicians are conflating media support from those who have to compete with the BBC with widespread public support, when even after years of anti-BBC articles, most of Britain retains a great deal of affection for the BBC.
We don’t want to import all our culture. We want to create and maintain some of our own. The BBC is our strongest institution by far in that regard, and should be celebrated and strengthened.

You again……as I said previously you clearly don’t know me despite your efforts to pretend you do?
You don’t know my name nor do you know who I work for……..that is a fact. A point I seem to have to make for a number of the befuddled narcissists on here.
If you want to back yourself up that you really do know both my name and who I work for we can stake £5000 for a charity of our choice (we can ask a mod to act impartially)……..so either front up with your money or apologise for your libellous trolling on your next post before you f*ck off to your likely tragic life.
Well?
