    ROFL. Or I could just continue to pay £0.00 and not watch the BBC’s biased BS.

      Are you one of those people that things it’s too biased to the right, or one of those people that think it’s too biased to the left?

        I live in Scotland. Read about academic research on how BBC Scotland frames stories vs. how similar stories are framed by BBC Wales:

        https://www.thenational.scot/news/uk-news/23569259.bbc-scotlands-agenda-exposed-wales-comparison-academic-claims/

        AND

        Even within Scotland read how stories are framed by the BBC Scotland vs. STV News:

        https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2023/06/30/research-bbc-scotland-news-constructs-a-far-more-anxious-and-conservative-world-than-stv-news-does/

        There is no other word to describe this but bias. Not right vs. left . . . but Westminster vs. Scotland.

          I’m sure people in Russia say the same about the BBC and RT.

    Except you just know it won’t work this way. It’ll be added to our council tax, or will be a flat charge applied to everyone’s broadband.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
