    bloodless neolib appointees:

    “privatise us! privatise us please!”

    not to make like the bbc is particularly good but it’s going to suck eggs if it’s sold for parts. “haha tv loiscence” is funny till the alternative is 20 new subscriptions for its basic programming. i know its difficult to imagine but this sows the grains of an even more ignorant UK public

    I know it will never happen, but look at the British youth. They have generally avoided the (worst of) chud mania that most young people globally are in right now. Many of them feel unheard.

    Reform is mostly for old gammons with America envy or 4chan groypers who have boomer gammon envy…and also America envy. They will never watch anything on BBC even if BBC endorsed Farage and Reform. They will pride themselves on the fact they only listen to social media, Fox, or the Daily Heil and nothing else.

    I know the reason why, donors and all, but now I’m genuinely curious how much support a hypothetical progressive BBC would get run by the working class for the working class.
