Truly bank breaking

if we were the french

we would have rioted for 2years now

give them an inch, hopix...

@Hopix the amount of the increase isnt the point

A pence paid to an organization against your will that constantly tells you how shitty you are, is a pence too much.

I just thought it was funny, at a time when viewership is going down, less people paying the license and more politicians calling for more scrutiny of its bias.. it decides its a good time to ask for more money

The left aren't known for incredible foresight

my phone thinks Ill be interested in a guardian opinion piece titled "Boris Johnson is about to find out just how weak the UK is"

your phone is cucked my dude you need to redpill it :^)

Is it a huawei phone?

moto

Throw me the link, I have someone who might get a kick out of it. Or be that one step closer to suicide. But hey, it's his schtick, so tough

youll have to google the headline... I dont wanna open it, cos my phone will start giving me more

the 3 quid isnt the issue

the fact that the BBC shouldnt be able to charge a tv license fee

is the point

It would be ok... if the BBC actually made good content

but it doesnt

and its biased as fuck

when it by law isnt allowed to

but they give 0 fucks

Yeah I know guys, was just having a joke

This is a pretty interesting take

Of course they are raising the licence fee. Fewer people are paying in, so they need to make up the shortfall. I mean, they're already dropping thousands of pounds worth of content costs, surely you couldn't possibly expect them to do more?

my first office was in weybridge

its a nice place

interesting that they mix richmond and hounslow together...

richmond is very upper class-white area.... hounslow is... how do I say... basically... there are no white people there.. housing still expensive... relative to other areas.. but not relative to richmond

lol? Welp, they can be the 1st to volunteer to live in the stone ages

the euro has surged all day against the £.. from 84p to 85p for a euro in just today :/

Give it time. This is the same market that thought Brexit was impossible and invested/bet in the same way

Not a good practice tbh

Selective scrutiny

isn't it already selective in that some people have access to enter no10?

I wonder tho.. if like.. labour were in charge, would the likes of the guardian/independent etc have the principals of Laura/Preston telegraph etc to walk out too

actually I think guardian (their straight up news side) is not that mental... like their opinion side.. its only slightly bias
