The very fact that Adam thinks if you state "the country is in a dreadful state" that's not impartial demonstrates precisely what's wrong with journalism, and why coverage of this election has been absolutely shameful. Of course, Chris Mason, Laura K and Adam would never think the country is in a state as all 3 of them are privately educated - which is why journalists in this country like those 3 are absolutely DREADFUL at their jobs.

The BBC has always had a duty to impartiality. You might want it to be Pravda, democrats want it to be impartial.

[@davidcolin6519]

@@GraemetheGuiriLordHaHa Why do you think that the OP doesn't want it to be impartial? Do you honestly think that it is impartial? Because the simple fact is that the BBC has never called out the Conservative Party for being extreme right wing, even when the party was thrown out of the centre right grouping in the EU, nor did the BBC point out that the party then joined the same political grouping as Germany's AfD, Greece's Golden Dawn and Spain's Vox. The idea that the BBC is impartial is so far out of date that it's embarrassing. Just because the Tories occasionally claim that the BBC is somehow left wing is simply a tactic to make people believe that there is some impartiality left. But you only need to look at how fawning Laura Kuensberg is with the Tories, and how aggressive she is with everybody else (let's not forget, she is apparently the BBC's "Star political journalist") to realise just how far from impartial the BBC is. That you automatically refer to Pravda makes it very clear right away, what you think on the subject. But I absolutely assure you that you are wrong. I certainly don't want a Labour party mouthpiece, just honest journalism and an organisation that doesn't constantly promote either Nigel Farage's agenda or regularly invite the Tufton Street mafia onto Question Time.

Not to mention soft power abroad through BBC World and other channels. In the wider context I'd rather keep it. You *can* opt out of paying it, it's not a tax.

[@JetsG2020]

@@Jablicek I used to say the same things but if you divide £4 billion by the number of quality programmes that it produces each year (that cannot be produced by the private sector) and compare to competing or free services it is low value. The value of its soft power effect shouldn't be taken as read without scrutiny of the costs to achieve it. It is a tax for anyone that wants to watch non-BBC live television. The £13.25 monthly charge represents 0.6% of the average UK after tax salary or about 0.8% for someone on minimum wage. That's a lot of money.

[@Jablicek]

@@JetsG2020 It's not that the private sector can't produce the same media as the BBC, it's that they often don't. Do you know how many radio stations they have, and how many are now digital only? Like, it's a lot. They do some pretty good children's programming, and some excellent educational, too. There's BBC Bitesize, which is educational content that broadly follows the BNC. It's not just period dramas, Eastenders and Attenborough.

[@JetsG2020]

@@Jablicek sure, and I used to say that too, but the BBC content is nothing compared to the freely available educational content here on KZbin. That is, I read, one of the reasons why the BBC is going to struggle; its business model of enforced revenue collection and ability to crowd out the private sector is being neutered by the internet. Perhaps the BBC will attempt to move to direct gvt funding in the future to support their (inflated) cost base if licence payees continue to fall, or maybe we will need a BBC internet licence 😅

I'd also point out that the UK's truly bizarre rules on rubbish collection and sorting are a major contributor. The sheer cost of getting rid of rubbish is astonishing, nor does it even make any sense. I live in Spain where fly tipping is virtually unheard of. That is because our council PAYS us to take rubbish to the tip. And I've seen the receipts for the bonuses that the rubbish truck drivers get for collecting it.

Or do you expect people from Newcastle to commute down to London every day to work in the hospitality sector? Maybe you want to force Britons to work for what pathetic sum that now passes for a subsistance wage? Maybe you'd like to volunteer to work in the fields of Lincolnshire, picking potatoes in the driving rain for minimum wage? Or maybe you're some sort of genius who can become a qualified nurse in 6 months rather than the 4 years a real nurse needs? How about becoming a family GP? I'm sure that someone as brainy as you can get their Doctor's qualifications in less than a year, even though it takes the NHS 7 years to train a junior doctor! Or maybe you think that foreing students shouldn't be allowed in? That in spite of the fact that those foreign students help to subsidise the education of every single UK University student. Are you going to to tell all those parents that they're going to have to pay AT LEAST 25% more than they currently have to pay?

Its good to see David Dimbleby. We do miss him from Question time. However, the new presenter, Fiona Bruce does a good job. We are in a mess as a country, it is so sad to see how Britain has been let down. Particularly, the caring NHS workers who are fed up with being over worked and definitely under paid. Watching their colleagues leave in their droves and dreaming of reacting the same. British people allow these sell outs too much power who don't even represent or care for the people. The few MP's that do care are bullied into silence and submission or they are forced out. Brits have felt powerless, demoralised, exhausted and losing the will because there is no real, genuine leader to build the country back better. Not temporarily, but to grow in every area, to celebrate the compassinate, to lift up the needy, sick and disabled, to give a fighting chance to the young with better ooportunities, to train their own to fill positions vital to the UK infrastructure. Look after the pensioners with rewards for their efforts over their working life. Give pensioners free tv licence and other consessuins. Get a tight grip on immigration and reduce payments to France based on the numbers of immigrants they allow to cross their SAFE COUTNRY to the UK. Impose financial penalitues on SAFE countries that break their agreement and let 1000's of ummigtanyscto conecticthe UK. The UK fit into France twice, we are a small Island. This is everybodies problem bot the small island of the UK. The Spanish, Dutch, Greeks are also respsonsible for this mess.

Rishi Sunak is PM not through election(not chosen by the people) but chosen by his party to replace the Prime Minister who resigned.

Labour are going to have to raise taxes when faced with the grim reality of global politics and the parlous state of our defence. They will enact heaps of ideological policy because it costs them virtually nothing and they can claim they are making big changes. It isn’t going to be a good time.

Over 20 years of US led western foreign policy outlined in the Wolfowitz doctrine / Project for the New American Century. Interminable death, destruction and displacement of populations. The so-called leaders of the collective west are dangerously delusional.

The excuses have began and the winner hasn’t been selected yet…how can the problems be fixed if we don’t have standards of service for politicians…do they get measured against performance related statistics? Until the establishment hold politicians to similar standards as the working man or woman then there really isn’t any point in voting…politicians need to be put through disciplinary protocols and asked to explain why they didn’t honour their manifesto promises…I’m 57 and I’m registered disabled and privileged intellectual types from private education backgrounds can’t work this out - I reckon that alone is either deliberate manipulation or negligence..!😇
