This campaign means a lot to me and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Ironic that you post a link to the DT which if you want to see it's full online content you have to pay a subscription fee to get past it's firewall. And try checking what those fees are compared to the BBC licence fee, and what they actually provide. No competition whatsoever. You'd think the DT and Sunday Times, who themselves today published an article claiming the Gov is planning to abolish the licence fee, might have something to gain if this happened. Surely not.

Also worth noting that the free licence fee for the over-75s is a Government funded scheme which the Gov is ending this June...

I watch Netflix and Amazon most even though I pay a largish Sky subscription - I didn't think Globalist Londoners will be the BBC's biggest defenders, I'd have though it would be the regions, which the provision of services for in the future I support strongly even though I rarely watch.


I did love watching Six Nations on the BBC (and it's much better than ITV) but there are moves to put this on Pay per View. Dr Who is now based in Sheffield rather than Cardiff I notice so advertising this area. You don't get many channels advertising the British and Irish regions.


Support enough to sign as what the BBC does isn't done by many and it would be sad to lose.

I don't watch the BBC, nor listen to any of their radio stations, yet am forced to pay for a licence funding media I have no desire to consume. How is this fair? I detest the current govt, but the sooner I no longer have to fund other peoples choice of media consumption, the better.
I pay for Netflix....the BBC sell a lot of stuff to Netflix. People worldwide watch and listen to the BBC and DON'T pay a penny.....so there's the answer - BBC a subscription channel...no ads either- where's the problem? Afraid that the Left cannot continue their brainwashing activities?

A subscription is not necessary. There are several browser extensions that allow you to circumvent paywalls so that you can read a whole raft of newspapers for free.


Best to use the Firefox browser and install Bypass Firewalls. That way you can read about 50 publications from the FT, DT, NYT, Economist, Sydney Morning Herald, Economist, Baltimore Times, Harvard Business Review, Wired etc, etc.

LOL that's ironic when we're discussing funding models for the BBC :)

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
