        Nah, don't defund the BBC. Publicly owned TV is good. The problem is that tories got their hands on it.

          The BBC played defense for pedophiles for a very long time. How to defund the BBC:

          1. Declare you don't need a license: https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/no-licence-needed/about.app

          2. Cancel your direct debit.

          3. Enjoy the satisfaction of putting them in their place. Remember when they used to try to scare people with "TV detector vans" that didn't do anything? What a scumbag move. Not nearly as scumbag as protecting pedos, though.

          What can I watch without a licence?

          Spread this around so it gets more views.

    Dude I just turned on NPR in the car and was immediately hit with

    When inflation is up, wages HAVE to go down! Let's hear what the head of Deutsche Bank has to say. Now let's hear from a hedge fund guy. Now let's hear from a right-wing finance bro.. "it's not enough, I'm telling you we aren't cooling the labor market nearly fast enough"

    Libs are gonna complain that this isnt accurate cuz NPR got cut off from federal funding in the 80s by Reagan, and so isn't government radio anymore. Someone should inform NPR leadership about that, since they still think they're a mouthpiece for the American Empire.
