What a timeline we live in. Makes you sick to the stomach. Innocent people slaughtered in the tens of thousands, but you're not allowed to say anything that might be offensive to the perpetrators.

Solidarity with Bob Vylan and Kneecap.

Death, death to the IDF!!

Very antisemitic! Palestinians have been killed, but by what? Nobody can tell for sure

Death, Death to the IDF!

What's the correct pronunciation here? Because I keep reading it like "Bob Dylan" but with a "V."

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

That is correct

[-] goatbeard@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago

I think that's the idea. Like villain.

So if the BBC is primarily funded by the licence fee, and you can request to not pay the fee,have you all done so?

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 36 points 7 months ago

Nope, I pay it, and I'll continue to. I see no reason to destroy our biggest public service broadcaster to the exclusive benefit of weaponised, billionare-owned, politically motivated, right-wing media like in the US. The flaws of the BBC exist thousandfold in those that are clamouring to take it's place.

There are independent left-wing media outlets you can give your money to.

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 9 points 7 months ago

Who says I don't? But none of them dominate the mainstream like the right-wing outlets do, and the only significant oppositon they have is from the BBC. The BBC may have warts, but I'm not going to let good be the enemy of perfect.

lmao. lolll.

I haven't ever paid it, but only because I'm an insane person who doesn't use anything that would require a TV license

Bad news, I'm afraid: communications received from alien emperors while in a mushroom-induced fugue count as live television under Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004, even if it's timeshifted and redshifted.
