• Will the BBC get defunded?

    The movement to defund the BBC seems to be growing. In recent months,
    I've seen videos from people as respectable as the BlackBeltBarrister
    and Jacob Rees-Mogg making videos carefully explaining how people could legally avoid paying the BBC license fee. That surely indicates that resentment over having to pay that fee is no longer just a fringe
    movement. Frustration with the BBC is the main driver of this as many
    people are beyond tired of the BBC and its far left bias on issues like "Palestine" and the transgenders.

    Amelia is getting into the act too with some new song videos.

    Be sure to read the first comment under the video to see what the
    actually lyrics of the song are, as opposed to what they had to have her
    sing to keep from being deemed offensive.

    I wonder if the BBC taking a stance against dogs will be the final straw
    that turns people conclusively against the BBC?

    If not, maybe things like this clip, where BBC Radio interviews a Jewish
    man in the wake of yesterday's knife attack:

    To their credit, they let him speak for a few minutes but carefully
    describe his remarks as "characterizations", imply the Muslim and
    non-Muslim communities are coming together against attacks on Jews
    without proving it in the slightest, then simply mute his mike and tell
    him, in effect, that they've had about enough of him and end the segment.
