Tories are normalising corruption, law breaking and criminality in public office.

If they get away with it all then god help us all.

TBF it might be better to say they are failing to conceal corruption, law breaking and misconduct in public office. There is a lot about the past forty years of British government that can't really be explained except by attributing corrupt motives to people.

Worth 4 mins of any British patriots time, well almost anyone's...

Dorries has announced in her usual crass and ignorant manner that the TV license will be abolished from 2027 and "its over for the BBC as they know it... ...they can learn to cut waste like any other business. This will be the last BBC licence fee negotiation ever."

Credit where its due, it does seem that the conservatives can organise a piss up....

Brilliant.

Up to us to get rid of the shits before then if we cherish institutions like the NHS and BBC.

Baffling that. I know its one of their rallying cries but take the BBC licence fee out and they'll lose all ability to influence it, plus their voters will have to pay for whatever replaces it.

Voters won't have to pay for "whatever replaces it". That's the whole point... They will have the choice of whether to subscribe to it or not.

The BBC is an outdated institution. It needs to become self-reliant... just the same as all other modern media businesses.

Have you never heard of Blair, Mandelson and Campbell. Boris drank a glass of wine, Blair invaded Iraq. One steered us through Covid and kept the economy and jobs afloat, one has made millions advising despots. Boris deserves a kicking, and he will get it, but even Starmer appears to like a drink with his staff…

Nobody watches it, so why would they pay…I certainly wouldn’t…..
