The BBC still tries to protect AstraZeneca by shifting the blame of a mans death onto his GP. (archive.ph)

Does anyone in the UK STILL trust the BBC? From my friends there, the main sentiment going round seems to be passing notes on how to no longer pay the licence fee.

Yeah they're fucked because they were the biggest cheerleaders for THIS jab, and it seems that the American establishment have chosen this one as the sacrificial lamb to avoid attention on the Pfizer one.

Unfortunately yes, they're very subversive and careful about what they post. So to people who don't particularly pay attention it just comes off as news and not just propaganda.

The license fee I'd argue is a mixed bag, most people will have various streaming accounts and not want to be paying a subscription fee for terrestrial TV; which they don't consume.

With the other factor being that they're definitely overreaching on who should be paying it; they're actively trying to justify a license for any device which may consume their service..

I don't trust the BBC and don't want to fund them, but it's hard to tell how many people feel the same.

It varies and depends a lot where in the UK you check to see what redpilled somewhere specific just how shit the BBC is for news. Scotland largely got there from 2014 onwards, although is doing its best to go off the rails on its own terms now. Covid crap woke up a lot of people but there are still both diehard fanatics to the service as well as those simply too ignorant or incapable to check elsewhere.

It wouldn't surprise me if the largest group still paying the TV license that helps fund it were the elderly/retired who are both set in their ways what media they consume and what technology they are capable of handling.

Still plenty of normies out there regardless.

Wait, I heard that elderly are exempt from the licence fee, did that change or was I misinformed?

The BBC continues to be garbage. They're trying to push the blame onto the GP for him being offered the vaccine because his BMI was incorrectly stated on his medical record.

Everyone was offered the vaccine regardless of age, it doesn't matter if he got it early because of him having "a BMI of neary 69" he would've taken the vax anyway and it still probably would've killed him. But I guess that isn't front page news.

It's always been this way. I recently finished the McCoy protest stories from Doctor Who. It was all very anti war, do as we say, socialism will save the world, kill conservatives. I wish I was joking about that last one. I'm on the Fights Cthulhu while saying malaprops stories. I've read that they wanted to make Ace Gay if they had continued the show.

British TV is having problems anyway. Cats Does Countdown may be cancelled. The only big name left is Taskmaster and it's mostly on YouTube.
