FREEZING THIS WINTER - GUESS WHAT BBC DON’T CARE - LATEST

[@polina_piter]

The absolute disdain the BBC has for the people who pay their salaries is astonishing.

[@laineymcd4074]

Ditto the present Government, and some previous ones.

[@gisele.1488]

The politicians that cut the heating allowance for the elderly will NEVER go cold in the winter themselves.

[@polina_piter]

Well, not in the near future but I never vote against karma.

[@skemite]

Don't forget that a lot of them are also claiming heating allowances for heating their second homes. One of the biggest cons ever!

[@Auntie-Sara]

If they're like USA politicians they'll use that money to escape the cold by going on long vacations to warm climates.

[@AJ13-c1e]

It's not just pensioners facing the choice of heat or eat (which is absolutely elder abuse in my opinion)! I am 60, I do work but I have to live and sleep in one room over the winter as I cannot afford to heat my small flat. People of all ages are just about managing. I do not watch anything on mainstream TV so don't have to pay for the outrageous tax the BBC demands!

[@JillLawton-zt8me]

@@AJ13-c1eexactly and although the odd couple of hundred quid is a big help, when your bill is over one thousand pounds and you still are struggling to pay it. Maybe they should look at the vat charged. This is the vat they promised to remove when we left the EU. They took the free Tv licence away for the over 75s. It’s ok to say don’t pay it but many old people especially those that live on their own and maybe housebound, rely on the programmes, the faces they recognise, some they like, filling their rooms other than the emptiness and silence.

Why don't the government during the cold winter months put our pensioners in a nice warm 4star hotel. It's the least they can do as they stopped the winter fuel allowance

[@markwalker4485]

Can’t. There for illegals.

[@gwendolineknox784]

The government cannot afford to put the elderly into warm hotels. That money is kept back for the illegal immigrants when they arrive here on our shores - along with mobile phone, spending money, food vouchers travel, passes.

[@Hypathia-g8h]

[@maryoleary2037]

It doesn't matter that the BBC won't air this song. It can be easily found by putting "Freezing this Christmas" in the KZbin search bar. So bah humbug to the BBC! Banning something is the best way to promote it. The public's curiosity is aroused and they will seek it out. In actual fact it is an excellent parody song.

[@marjoriecash6685]

My husband and l are two of the many that have lost our winter fuel allowance. We are just outside being able to claim pension credit. Already l notice how cold we are both feeling and winter hasn’t set in properly yet. We daren’t put our heating on all day as we used to because of the cost. Our direct debit has just gone up by £20 per month for our gas and electricity because of the increase and l’ve been to.d it will increase again in January. So for us we use blankets if it’s a particularly chilly day and l use a hot water bottle. I just want people to know Neil that this is a reality for lots of pensioners and this is how we are living this winter. I know l shouldn’t but l do get angry at all these people that are coming into this country illegally and living in 5 star accommodation when both of us along with many, many others have worked all our lives, paid our taxes and can’t even put the heating on for longer periods of time. This is our reality in December of 2024. 😢😢

Hi Neil, I had a letter from the licensing people for tv I told them sometime ago that I’m partially cited and I don’t watch any BBCBBC or live programs and I don’t want one. I tried to ring them the other day. It’s all automated and it said speaking into the phone it completely ignored what I said and in the end I just tore the letter up and I’m just not gonna bother what a waste of money they left me alone for about three years. I think they must be desperate. They will never get another penny out of me. Have a wonderful Christmas.

It's a Fantastic song, with a hard hitting message, I now listen to local radio, fed up with BBC'S play list's. There are plenty of Great radio stations out there other than the BBC.

[@theseeker4642]

Believe me Sean, the swinging sixties didn't hit the provinces as far as the fashions went. Pirate Radio Caroline was fantastic, which they outlawed & replaced with the souless radio 1. Many regions waited years to be able to get Radio 1 & many, like me, were bitterly disappointed as the deejays had become part of the BBC Institution ; not the mavericks they were when employed by the Pirate stations.

[@mflax4331]

An Australian news channel had a video uploaded that covered some seconds of this song. I'm German, but I find it funny. According my understanding Journalists have the job to call politicians to their task. Thus airing critical voices is part of their job, especially if their customers request it.

[@BryaninNI]

The BBC is no longer a world leading service, it surely has to move to a channel 4 and ITVX subscription service. Has anyone anyone else noticed that BBC news 24 goes to information screens to allow other channels in America and several other countries use advertising at these times. The corporation should not be allowed to collect fees that are unrealistic in the era of mainly cheaper platforms. The licence fee should be abolished. It is no longer pertinent or offers value for money and it’s output is definitely not what it was 😮

[@Gwenpool_Rocks]

I think the song is brilliant. I read it was a man, not in the music industry, got fed up with everything going on, particularly the removal of the Winter Fuel Allowance. So he sat down and wrote the lyrics, once finished, he looked around for someone who could sing it. He met the guy singing the song and he thought it would make a great song and was happy to help by accepting the offer, to sing the song. After rehearsals to run through the song, they got it made into a format, that people could access to listen to it.

Neil, the 1960’s were a fabulous time to be alive as well as a very tragic and violent time to be alive! Everything was possible then, but there there were assassination as well as the Vietnam War at the same time. So we had both the magic and the tragedy at the same time.

I guess the public will just have to turn to another radio 📻 station to listen to what they would like to listen to. BBC LICENCE FEE: As for you (Neil) still being sent letters demanding that you pay your BBC Licence fee! How ridiculous is that, especially when you don't even have a television. With the BBC wasting even more public monies by sending out letters demanding payment of a fee that you don't owe them. They (no doubt) do this to many other people who do NOT owe the BBC anything.

I'm American so I'm not sure I understand. Are you required to have BBC if you have a TV? Do you not have a choice? Are you not able to use streaming services and cut the BBC out entirely. I use ROKU and it works very well, I know there are others, including Dish and Direct. The only downside is if you have a favorite show on a network, if you're on Dish, etc you can chose your channels and watch a show initially or in my case, wait till the next day, and watch the new show and avoid those high fees. Pace yourself Neil, winter is just beginning 👋❤ Happy Christmas🌲
