Trump - again
Who thinks that Trump deserves the (up to £5 billion) that he is trying to get paid by the BBC for “fake news” ?
Considering the total income through licence fees is just £3.8 billion

Should the PM get involved and give Trump a phone call ?
Otherwise it could affect the trade between UK and US

Trump and Andrew Windsor need to be locked up in a Supermax Prison in America, both have been on that island and are in the same boat as certain to presenters and singers that have been outed over the last 20 years.

The attack on the BBC is not so much about the documentary but about trying to control media in the UK. The fact one of America's governmental aides said everyone in the UK should watch GB news instead is a really key factor here.
I'm not defending the editing of the video, but at the same time, American news channels regularly misrepresent the UK and its regions, especially London under Khan, without consequence. And I haven't forgotten comments made by GB news about benefits claimants which went without challenge or reprisal. In the case of the Trump documentary, he did say those things. Just not in the order they were presented.
I have no doubt there are things that need fixing at the BBC, but allowing a foreign president to come in against our media outlets is not the same as reforming the BBC for the people paying the licence fee.

Perfect!!!! Agree! The BBC are biased too, not to be trusted with their news. There are thousands of people that do not pay for the TV licence because of it. I do not have a TV licence, but I don't watch TV now anyway.... I am led to believe the Director General has been removed!
Trump has already won cases in America over his speeches being altered. CBS I am led to believe paid out millions in an out of court settlement according to an ex American Police Officer who is a British man that moved over to America years ago and on another forum I frequent.
A member mentioned Starmer? He's another one that should be removed!

You have made an incorrect assumption, I don't watch that news channel either.

I said I don't watch TV and I don't. That is not the case with me. Please leave it now.

BBC = British Brainwashing Corporation. I couldn't stand to watch normal TV these days, I haven't watched normal TV in years and refuse to fund the BBC with a TV license. I prefer to get actual real news from real people, using their own voice.
Personally I find all TV fake and literal brain rot.

I agree with what you have said. Unfortunately the BBC are known for it and it is the reason a lot of people refuse to pay for a licence. I was on Twitter for a few years and I know that is what people have done. They openly talked about it. I was proud of the BBC, but that has waned over recent years.
Thinking back I have agreed with all your posts whatever the subject. Keep posting! Thanks.

Yes, unless you complete the "No licence needed" either by phone or online, the letters are relentless, disgusting really. The threats as you mention are not called for either. It is not that simple to request the "No licence needed" online and the threats are part of this procedure too. Within the " No licence needed " procedure, you can select you are covered by a licence at another property, but it is not at the start. Hope this helps.

Fair enough and point taken. You need a licence streaming live programmes on a tablet too!
