There are multiple reasons this is a bad idea I'll go through each one by one for anyone who can be arsed to find out The only people who won't be arsed are people who think this only for ideological, NOT rational reasons 1/🧵
Privatise the BBC. If I want to watch it I’ll subscribe, as I do to channels that make programmes that I want to watch/ listen to. No one should be forced to pay £169.50 for a service they may never use, merely because they watch other things on a television.

When I was in hospital last year a porter got pissed off that we'd all been on trolleys in corridors for 24hrs, but no pillows were allowed in A&E. Heard him say to someone "I know - but it's STUPID". Came back shortly after with pillows for us all.
We wish we could eradicate ‘just a’ from NHS vocabulary. Every single person plays their part, and it couldn’t happen without everyone.

What an impressive piece of interviewing this is from @alexaljoe. To have the poise to speak in two languages simultaneously, remembering the answers and translating for the audience at home, all when live on camera is remarkable.

That’s absolutely outstanding. The sort of thing no one would believe if you told them about it without the video footage to back it up.
weirdest save I’ve made ever 🤣

Tonight's the night: THREADS (1984) gets its 40th anniversary repeat on BBC4! Stock up on provisions and bunker down for one of the greatest, bleakest, and most terrifying dramas ever. Here's how BBC2 introduced Threads 40 years ago on September 22 1984...

If you want state-funded local media, then great, let's have that chat as a country. But don't really see why a bloke earning £564,000 running a company that paid £23m to shareholders should be doing a shakedown of the government to prop up a struggling business model.
