This is why so many people now hate MPs and parliament.

[Twotierk]

Not paid the licence tax for 2 years and have absolutely no intention of doing so until they get their act together, the way they have behaved during the pandemic has been frightening

[pauls]

Over 3 Billion £ a year from the TV Licence. Plus they own UKTV. They are absolutely raking it in.

[paulmuaddib]

The BBC loved Jimmy Savile, what more else do you need to know, it needs to end.

[GearsOscar]

We are witnessing the demise of the BBC but I wish they could hurry up

[kerrybayton]

Defund the B.B.C, Do not pay the license tax..

[smudgeevans]

That little runt Hislop has been raking it in as well. Funny how Private Eye used to be a satirical magazine; now it is a slightly funnier version of the Guardian.

[rogermellie]

I checked in to the BBC on Sunday to find out how racist/danger to health/danger to the planet I was and watched an episode of countryfile, lo and behold on every section of the programme they spewed some nonsense about the environment, to the point where they said sheep pee is bad for the environment. The BBC is truly warped and unwatchable.

[kenmckee]

15 grand to hate on men..can I get 15 grand to hate on women?

[bluejhaygrl]

Im an Australian with UK heritage and one of my joys was watching Eastenders, which was one of the UK's most popular TV soaps, but i have had to stop watching it due to its far left radical rubbish. They have turned that show into a political movement, its pathetic!

[TheStanford]

It has been suggested that the head judge on Strickly Come Dancing gets £500, 000 for the series which cannot take up more than 6months of her time one way or another.

[kelsohunt]

Not given the BBC a penny in over two years now. It's a joy. Paying captain misandrist Phillips 15g is insane. Cancel your TV licence.

[KG]

no just abolish the left wing labour organisation .

[Sabhail_ar_Alba]

Just don't pay their tax, I haven't for 10 years and surviving quite well.

[mikeclark]

They don't get a single penny from me, haven't had a TV licence for over 15 years now. Mr Occupier lives in the Whitehouse, not here.

[Polecat]

They can pay as much as they like as it is not my money they are wasting, it is the money of the poor deluded fools who pay the licence fee.

[andrewstafford-jones]

The "Gravy Train" and the "Gold plated” pensions must continue at all costs, the BBC employees would never find work elsewhere at anything approaching their eye watering salaries.
Be fair, there are only 22, 000 BBC employees and they deserve all the money we can give them, even if they are twiddling their thumbs sitting at home.
Go on, keep paying your License, the BBC believe the "Sheeple" will always support them, just as they believed no one in their right mind would vote for Brexit.

[leonardgibney]

I would pay MPs a fortune if they did any good. But since their policies seem in general to be diametrically opposed to the voters wishes, not worth a penny.

[adrianlloyd]

It's a crap show now so presenting it isn't worth £15k.Maybe £15 in luncheon vouchers and 100 nectar points is quite sufficient.

[kenthepen]

So Ms Phillips is a 'staunch Socialist' then! That would be a 'Champaign Socialist' I presume?
