The BBC isn't funny anymore, now they've shoved another establishment challenging show out the door!
The BBC Isn't funny anymore! Who's laughing now.
Is it time we all collectively showed them the door in return, or should we stop the rot within?
The BBC isn't funny anymore is it! The Tories running it (check out who has got all the top jobs) have now cancelled all the good more so called "left wing" satirical comedy. Get Tories out of top positions in the BBC. Only retracted and restored him to Match Of The Day after all their football pundits and commentators pulled out in solidarity and the BBC were to be left with no football coverage.
Is this the new BBC logo?
This is what the BBC has been up to under their Tory infilitrated top management.
*Tried to "cancel" Gary Lineker when he spoke against proposed government treatments of refugees.
However allowed Alan Sugar to post a photoshopped image of Jeremy Corbyn standing alongside Adolf Hitler. Newsnight also included a photoshopped Jeremy Corbyn all colourised in red standing somewhere that was meant to be Russian.
*Nick Robinson (a BBC political correspondent) was a member of all sorts of Cheshire conservative associations including the Macclesfield Young Conservatives.

Have I Got News For You
The unfair TV licence.
Whatever you think of the BBC (and sometimes now it's hard to think of their value, as this very post is about how the Tories in charge seem to be getting rid of any establishment piss taking content), the law makes an unfair demand that if you watch any live TV that is broadcast over the air regardless if that is other broadcasters who have diddley squat to do with the BBC you must pay the BBC TV licence to do it. Record numbers of people just claim that they either don't have a TV or just use streaming services, games consoles and access on demand content. Now to use BBC IPlayer also requires the TV licence but it is "legal" to use the ones from the other broadcasters and streaming services in general so the arcane legislation doesn't stretch to blocking you from using the likes of ITVX, All4, My5 etc if you choose not to pay the BBC.
The TV licence is often defended as being relatively low cost "considering what you get for it" but this starts to fall apart a bit when you consider that it is above the cost of the lowest packages from the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, that Youtube is free (with adverts) and has far more compelling content on created by ordinary people than the likes of Bargain Hunt & Escape To The Country on a Saturday afternoon and that during the awful so called "cost of living" crisis they offer no concessions whatsoever to lower income people such as those of us on benefits or students (who they hound for the same fee as any wealthier people) all whilst they use their BBC News coverage to talk down any left wing pro people progressive politics as evidenced in their treatment and coverage of Jeremy Corbyn as an example.
Lots of anti licence fee channels and advocators etc say they don't advocate breaking the law and proudly claim they stick to only streaming services etc but I always feel that is letting the government/BBC win somewhat, because what if you want to stop funding the (Tory infiltrated and supporting) BBC yet continue to watch the live broadcasts from any other company, morally that is fine
So I don't want to be one of those people who says they don't watch any TV, because if I want to watch say Pro Sieben live from Germany on a motorised satellite dish I am still required by law to pay the BBC a monthly fee to do so and that is absurd and so the situation requires outright rebellion, just ignore the stupid law.
A template for how you should treat a TV licence "officer".
This is apparently possible to do (according to many anti TV licence fee YT channels etc) by simply ghosting Capita/TV Licensing and ignoring any conformist
"enforcement" officers they send round. Rather than filming an entertaining aggressive interaction with them for posting on Youtube you should outright ignore them and any letters that are sent. If you do open the door the conversation should be limited to "no thanks" and close the door. No evidence can thus be gained for a search warrant and you can continue to do whatever you want to inside your house/flat etc.
Should you cancel your TV licence (if you still even pay it as less and less are doing so) in protest, the Tories are trying to destroy it from within it seems (so the left wing anti BBC backlash is also letting them win). If you do cancel it, continue to watch live TV (at least every channel other than the BBC) as why should you be prevented from doing so merely to fund the BBC (for example watching Clubland or That's TV over the air has nothing to do with the BBC even if the legislation also tries to force you to pay for a BBC TV licence to do so (that isn't a moral requirement)). So I'm one that doesn't say I don't advocate that you do something against the law, I advocate that we all collectively break that law as it isn't just in the first place. Now that there's nothing funny on the BBC anymore (unless you actually LIKE Mrs Browns Boys!), and that as I type this some episode of Escape To The Country is on their flagship channel BBC ONE which is supposed to be entertaining the nation on a Saturday afternoon and this is all they can put on!

Just think although compulsory TV licences do still continue to exist in many countries other than the UK (such as in Ireland where they have the cheek for RTE to also show adverts whilst it's also funded in a similar way to the UK), TV licences have been defeated before as well, there was mass non payment to TVNZ and the licence was scrapped in 2000. So I think it could be possible in the UK for the BBC licence fee to go, it's getting pretty common now (and this is just anecdotal and personal experience based) for there to be friends etc who only have Netflix/Disney+ etc, play games and watch video on the internet through Youtube etc, they feel that the BBC doesn't have any relevance in their lives and they also easily fall into the category of not even using or even having broadcast TV installed as their entertainment is simply internet based. It's also the authorities' choice to put out TV broadcasts over the air that can be freely received and then demand "menaces" from anyone who chooses to receive it, when as I've already said it involves many channels that have nothing to do with the BBC (Quest, E4, QVC) whichever one you want to name! It is essentially a blackmail arrangement as well.
