Sacred? Ridiculous.
The BBC, this “institution”, has used legal threats to screw the British public out of money to pay for the inane whims of Oxbridge alumni, stirred up hatred and support for the blood sucking elites of this country and shielded sex offenders for the better part of a century.
Then they turn around and sell the fruits of license fee payer funds to other channels internationally, via VHS, DVD and Blu-ray sales then finally to the premium streaming services. You have to pay to see the shows you paid to make!
That’s not to mention the amount of money they get in merchandise sales. Remember the Cyberman Voice Changer Helmet? That was the top toy one Christmas.
Times have changed, the BBC needs to die.

That’s not restricted to the UK. Conservative parties across the world use the same tactic. American conservatives have been trying to sell off the US Postal Service for ages claiming it’s “unprofitable” while strangling it with regulations and dumb rules like forcing it to fund pensions 70 years in advance.

The notion that a public service needs to be profitable is so backwards.

Yeah but we’re in a UK community talking about the UK…
