I'd better not respond to your obvious trolling, else my comment will be deleted and called trolling, and I'll be denied the ability to post in this thread.

Are you calling me a troll?

It's a fact, not an assumption:

Polling data suggests that Sheerman is correct; voters with higher qualifications were more likely to vote to remain in the EU.

Perhaps those at the BBC that know that Brexit is not a pile of poo are also keeping quiet.

I'm sure that when there is a positive post-Brexit announcement to make, the BBC, Sky News and ITN will all report it. You need to be patient Mottie.

If you want to know what BBC and C4 are at go read their charter. One factor about the BBC is making use of local production facilities. There are a number of other aspects as well.

Generally ending the BBC such as making it a subscription service is known to be impossible. Radio ensures that but there are other factors as well.

The license fee clamp is nothing more than a political scam. The poor hard up people still have to pay it. Would a 10 to £15 increase make much difference to that. Seems the current fee works out at 43p a day.

Sell it to someone and TV will finish up like newspapers. They effectively prevent that and set a content standard that other channels have to match. Many million people watch various programs. Don't pretend they don't. ITV is still trying to match their viewing figure.

The use of goup think is fascinating. Does anyone have reviews at work? One way of holding those is to draw out from people that they can improve in some area. Once they have said it they can't complain about having this being pointed out. So badger the man on all sorts so he says perhaps we have a group think problem Great says the people doing the badgering. They can say the BBC has a group think problem. The term is meaningless.

The BBC is a great British institution.

sadly brexit supporters who are haters of Britain want to get rid of BBC as well

*was, past tense. That is the point.

It tried to get all trendy and took too many left turns, and we all know what the left has done and does do to Great Britain and its institutions.

Lol. Cue the rousing flag-shagger music..."Rule Brittania..."

Is this the same Great Britain being torn apart by the Tory party and thier huge pile of shoite - Brexit?

Don't you just love a faux patriot.

So was slavery, wasn't it?

Perhaps they should give up their Sky subscriptions and iPhones? Just a thought.....

It is the right who voted for Brexit.
you know, the thing that put a customs border inside the United Kingdom.

the people who voted for Johnson and his Brexit deal have caused colossal damage to Great Britain.

What damage has the BBC done…….nothing.

It’s funny how the comfortably off believe poverty doesn’t exist.

ajohn wasn't talking about poverty. He was talking about the 'poor and hard up'. They are not the same. Go round to any council estate and count the Sky dishes. Even our local big issue seller is on her iPhone all day. They are the 'poor and hard up' I was referring to.

Serious, what goes on in your mind?

Are you really trying to attribute the state of the BBC - the poor reporting, shift to a political agenda and lowering of standards that began in the early 1990's to a national referendum on leaving the EU in 2016?
