Starmer has played and is playing a blinder.
he played a blinder? Fuck me you must wear out some amount of cloths polishing turds. Did we watch different run ups to the general election ? when its pointed out starmers blinder was merely to get the votes of 20 % of the electorate and a disproportionate amount of seats , you tell us its nothing more than sour grapes from losers. If a politician who sat on his hands the whole election , and let the system put him in power is playing a blinder , then you are either easily pleased or over dramatic . Opposition followers had no acceptable ideas or challenges to Starmer, that's how pathetic they were, so Starmer rightfully won the election. In short the opposition was garbage. |

My take on your admission is that your ears are attuned to picking up stuff you’re politically against. I’m struggling with being the only Conservative in my family, but having to jettison all support for the crew that’s run the UK for the past 14 years. My family are laughing, so and I’m feeling foolish — but convinced I’ll ultimatey be proved right in five or ten years… My ears are attuned to what is on and the fact it is at best an imbalance. Did I miss something that was impartial or from a British cultural perspective, if I did it must have been low key. My mistake, you were probably out in Red’s garden saluting the flag and missed the run down on the day’s programming… I admit I am fairly capable of reading the room that ultimately provides me with my income. This accounts for the fact that I believe in the Thatcher’s Conservative view of the world, but I’ve no objection to a Labour Party giving it the chance to get back to that… |

I stopped watching BBC political reporting during the last election because under its new management it was very very clearly Pro Conservative. Old Conservatives should have been very annoyed with Conservative governments over the last 70 years, they weren't annoyed anything like as much as normal people would and should have been, hence the mess the UK has been in for that period. Oh dear, I see chief barker for the outraged left has arrived. Lets pick though it, you never know there may something moderately sensible. Oh Christ what was I thinking lol, this is brilliant... ... "the BBC are very very clearly pro Conservative"What to say LOL. I have to assume nurse has left him on his own, probably to get the nightly dose of Ritalin. Now now posters don't judge, it's not his fault he suffers with extreme leftism. |

I give her full marks for making 'Wild cat strikes illegal' after that she draws a complete blank. |

I listened to one BBC prat pointing to Sunak's approach (propaganda) to the election, he then repeated the propaganda as if people had not seen and heard it, he then repeated the propaganda for a third time as if he was asking a question about it. ALL WITHIN A FEW MINUTES of each other. Wake up sleepy head. |

You are away with the fairies, you do not deserve to be taken seriously. |

I am not alone in my observations. The Labour party has lost its core support not by default but by actually regarding them as unacceptable beasts from whom they could expect a vote but to whom they owed nothing. The Labour party is in thrall to the EU and has a bundle of the executive looking forward to a move into world politics a la Blair once they have manged to dump the country into the woke quagmire. |

They mostly struggle to string a sentence together yet somehow believe that they know how to run the country. It's delusion in action. |

The BBC is rather like The Crown, both are great British institutions which SHOULD unite both Right and Left
The British Broadcasting Corporation is probably THE most recognisable, well known, and respected British institution known to the world, and we should all be proud of it.
For the sum of £3.27 Per Week, less than a pint of beer, we all get 7 TV channels, 5 national radio stations, the world service and local radio, plus regional TV news, specific programming for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Welsh language programmes, SCots Gaelic programmes.
We also get the best website available on line, which includes news, local and regional news, learning for children, sport, weather, recipies, history, advice on consumer issues, health and money, arts and culture.
The BBC is excellent value for what we get for our money

The BBC is excellent value for what we get for our money Rubbish. The BBC 'was' a great British institution, but those days are gone, it's 2024 not 1924. The BBC are for obvious reasons desperately trying to hang on to a very privileged position in which people are forced to fund the corporation, but the BBC know it's over. Yes it's going to last a few more years but everyone knows the BBC's days are almost numbered. It was good while it lasted, but it's past it's sell by date. You mention £3.27 a week, which is nothing. But why should people pay anything for a service they don't use or want? If the BBC cant survive on a pay-per-view or subscription basis it deserves to die, and the only reason Starmer has decided to bin a 'netflix style subscription' system is because he knows if the BBC tv licence is scrapped the corporation would probably not survive because people wouldn't pay, and he doesn't want to be responsible for the death of the BBC. But everyone knows, it's comming. |

So which commercial broadcaster offers better value for money ?
SKY - which makes virtually nothing, contributes nothing to the UK film and TV production industry, contributes next to nothing to British culture, has a broadcast output which is mostly foreign, with large amounts of repeats.
Or maybe ITV - which cannot aford to make childrens programmes any more, which can barely aford to produce local news, and because of increasing competition shows more repeats and more foreign programmes than it has ever done.
Remember when there were only 3 or 4 channels ?, but at least there was always something to watch
De-regulation has given us more and more channels, more choice, but the quality is crap, privatise, de-regulate, a race to the bottom.

Just out of curiosity what does the BBC contribute to British culture? As far as I can see any British Cultural tradition, icon, belief or value it mashes up as much as it can and calls it either evil or just plain bad. Culture is what you have not what you recreate, or try to. |

It's delusion in action. 70 odd years of Conservatives dominating parliament shows who the 'semi-literates' are. While those who voted for them along with those who blindly denigrate the only opposition to repeated Tory failure, are clearly the ones "suffering from a range of cognitive issues'. |
