There we are the BBC Conservative Party has returned to the fold after its contribution to the tory one-party state at the election.

And they could have had songs from the James McArthur Song-book and Glad All Over.

A cultural opportunity badly missed.

Hence you will be just as glad as we are to see it change to a subscription service instead of a publicly funded one.

No I won't and after this arm-twisting, it is now unlikely.

Why kill the goose that lays you golden eggs.

The first Proms concert was a new piece by a young black British female composer which was about identity. I think you can that was a cultural opportunity seized.

If her music is any good and the public take to it who knows in years to come it will be the key music at the last night.

That's why these songs are still around they are popular. Don't like it write new songs and hope the public like them.

So the BBC can organise a choir after all maybe the headline should read "BBC solves Coronavirus Problem" because after all they said this had nothing to do with BLM or left wing distaste for the lyrics and all to do with the virus.

To be honest I would have settled for one Soprano rather then a choir but happy to accept it.

Let's hope this is the start of the BBC listening to its paying customers rather than trying to force feed us their opinions.

Hmm, they will probably end up taxing people for having a tv instead so they don't even have to collect it and then yet another pot of money will be generated, never to be spent again on the intended subject, (bit like road tax being spent on roads really).

I think this shows your true feelings about the matter.

Of course you want the BBC to continue. It mostly represents what you believe in.

We'll have a Fox type media channel and we'll pay for that.

The BBC had its chance to be even when one of its executives twenty years ago pushed for 50/50 on the political bias of its employees but instead it decided it wanted to be the Guardian TV channel.

Yep. The extinction clock is ticking down now. All over by 2030 at the latest. Only issue now for the BBC is to try and salvage what they can. When the Beeb has gone, we can turn our focus on Channel 4. Next one to go. These f***ers want a culture war, we will give them one.
