🚨The BBC is at it again - pushing a compulsory "household levy" as a replacement for the TV licence.
The move is designed to force the 2.5 million households who've cancelled their licences since 2020 to once again fund the (anti)British Broadcasting Corporation 🧵
🚨Broadcast TV audiences are collapsing
💣Weekly reach has plummeted from 92% to just 54% in a decade.
So what have the Lords demanded today?
More protection for BBC funding 🙄
The establishment answer is always the same:
Protect the BBC. Make the public pay.

What are the chances? BBC Newsnight goes to Piddington and just happens to find the one woman more worried about woke signalling than the safety of women and girls.
Remarkable journalism👏

"It's really upsetting - it's always been the most amazingly peaceful place to live and we've never experienced the level of overt racism that we’re witnessing"
Rachel, a Piddington resident, expresses her concern at some of the arguments made in opposition to plans for a nearby disused MoD base to house 1200 male asylum seekers.

Is it because the BBC is freeloading off hardworking British taxpayers itself that it can't get its head around the concepts of aspiration, work and not being forced to carry the weight of those who refuse to?

'You should aspire to live wherever you want to live, but you shouldn't aspire for the government, i.e. other taxpayers, to pay for you to live wherever you want to'
Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch told #BBCBreakfast she would target housing allowance as one of the measures to reduce spending on welfare

Oh dear. So sad.
Thanks to you all, the corporation is rolling out plans to make £500m of savings, with the director-general Matt Brittin telling staff "the scale of savings requires tough choices"😢
Keep defunding. It's working!

Defund The BBC retweeted
If the BBC editing the last 15 seconds there should be a lot of FIRINGS
The BBC is supposed to give us the news, not what their hidden agenda allows us to know
They have surrendered their old neutrality
Donna Jones, police and crime commissioner for Hampshire spoke to #BBCBreakfast about Portsmouth.
The BBC later deleted her last 15 seconds.
Listen and see why ….
🚨The outgoing Today programme presenter Amol Rajan has admitted the broadcaster is "screwed" and its finances are “much worse than people realise” because of a steep decline in licence fee revenue.
Keep defunding. It's working!
#DefundTheBBC
More than 600 TV industry professionals are in open revolt against the BBC — branding its commissioning “unaccountable and failing”.
They warn of wasted resources and a culture where producers fear being blacklisted for speaking out.
You don't have to bankroll it #DefundTheBBC

"[Arday] was let down by institutions that should never have thrust him into such prominence without properly scrutinising his claims."
"The BBC has neither apologised for its role... nor acknowledged its failure ..." @StevenEdginton

Public pride in the BBC has crashed from +48% in 2011 to -11% today, according to new research from @Demos
And the answer the government and BBC have cooked up? Make MORE people pay by extending the TV licence to streaming😡👇
