The sooner the BBC is completely defunded, and has to rely solely on subscriptions for its existence, the better. But politicians are terrified of the BBC’s power to make or break them.

The case of the ‘Eastenders Six’ storyline represents how misandry has infected our public institutions. I’m sure those charged and convicted in the plot will receive the obligatory suspended sentences given to women in real life by UK courts daily.
Perhaps William Hill will give odds for suspended sentence.
