Writer, composer, film maker, lecturer. I believe that the world CAN be better. The way it "is" is not the only way and the "choices given" are not the only ones available.

So folks will campaign to scrap the Beeb , that's fine.
But campaign to FIX the beeb is pointless??
That's defeatist.
Makes a mockery of campaigning
Why is this so difficult to understand?
PitchForks and torches everywhere.
Sheesh..
So fix the news not bin the BBC..
06.09.2025 19:08 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I get your point but you missed mine completely.
Do you scrap your car because the tyres need changing?
BBC News isn't the BBC. The licence funds R&D, Documentary and Natural History, CBBC, and many other great depts. The BBC isn't the bosses.
I keep telling George that if we lose the Beeb, it opens the UK broadcasting door to FOX etc.
The Tories wanted to sell off so be careful what you wish for.
What century is this again?
12th?
9th?
When's the witch burnin'?
So, no answer? I meant the question with the greatest of respect but I feel it needs addressing?

Promises evaporate.
The party incumbent becomes the system and NOTHING ever changes.
Why.
And HOW are you going to change that.
Unless you prove this to the people, they will never change.
Nothing will.

As if Trump wouldn't literally drop a slab of pure White dominance over natural beauty and nurturing of life killing all chance of growth..
What a metaphor.
If you were super rich the idea that there is a future where a large % of people were gone, the world was "going back to how it was", and those remaining were dependent upon you and were subservient..
You'd make sure. For yourself or your descendants.
Every decision being made looks like this..
Well you can't have government officials visiting a hell hole while they chat with her now can you!
You've got to be comfy while you discuss exactly WHO will be the targets of the administration..
It's said that the definition of insanity is to continuously repeat actions but expect new results
I'd say it's giving total control of a nation and the lives of millions to a totally unqualified man or woman.
Yet here we are.
Centuries of doing both.
When are we going to realise?
It's almost like you have Nazis in charge or something..
25.07.2025 23:18 โ ๐ 15 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0You have to remember that "a small group" of people is no more the university than the " controllers" of BBC news is the BBC.
I really hope that the media point any fingers in the direction of any guilty party and not just taint the whole organisation.
I defend the BBC for the same reason.
You cannot grow a potato. That is extreme communism.

The rich are hoarding, syphoning vast amounts of money OUT of the system..

I'm generalising but, I see male views of (sport and) military information as having a tribalist leaning; a desire to be associated with the winners.
That clouds history?
Sagan fuelled my imagination and in particular "The spaceship of the mind" concept. Freeing up creative thought and exploration. You surely must have had a trigger to lead you on your path? 'Military Historian' is not something you hear every day?

This is forcing the Beeb out; Funds for all depts have been depleted by management for the reasons stated above ( negative PR) and the Public have lost interest.

That is how the schism works.
