BBC being funded is good but state controlled media is very bad. BBC is highly regulated and controlled by the crown and the British gov. How they push the TV License is very invasive and offputting to the point of harassment and threats. Surely there has to be a better way to do this. They should try to make people want a license not claiming that we HAVE to have it. That’s all I am trying to say.

It’s good to have it, all media is state sponsored, at least one of them is by the local state. You want BBC to be sold and owned by KGB nepo babies like the independent or evening standard?

Maybe they should just bill a household regardless and dispense with the extra nonsense then you would just have to pay and couldn’t go on about it
