Public funding needs to be pulled from BBC.

Sure, let's forfeit even more power to corporate news which not only covers up western imperialism but also pushes right-wing narratives

British state media is just as much pro-western-imperialism as its corporate-owned media. I don't think they're that different on domestic issues either.

If Starmer had any balls then he'd undo the Johnson assignment to the BBC chair and give it to someone who would kick out the TERFs and other cunts to at least dial it back to the passive-progressive era.

This isn't even just a morally good thing, it'd be smart in a basic selfish way. Labour has done some very mildly good things internal policy wise with the trains and bills, but they're getting fucked in the media with a country that's full of hate constantly stirred by extreme Far-Right narratives.

God I hate respectability politics, anyone remotely decent takes the high road, and worse and worse people keep coming out of the woodwork and punch lower and lower and then they win. Fucking sucks.
