@Ferdinand641@JoshFG Hmm, that’s not really an objective or fact-based argument — sounds more like a personal dislike of the BBC than a critical look at the services and value it actually provides.
@Ferdinand641@JoshFG When you say “the whole rotten organisation”, you mean entertainment, local/national radio, children’s TV, Bitesize, charity work,sport etc too? Most of your points are about the news division. And 80% of adults still use BBC News weekly, so people clearly still find value in it.
@HaighMarianne@FayeH321 @RoyalDelhiite No not all world famous people, they have more of a choice in the matter and chose that career path.
A prince born into a monarchy is totally different to an actor/singer etc
@HaighMarianne@FayeH321 @RoyalDelhiite I can see where you’re comint from, but this isn’t the main reason he needs security. He is one of the most well known people in the world, a lot of people want to do him harm, he didn’t choose to be this famous and he should be protected appropriately
@HaighMarianne@FayeH321 @RoyalDelhiite I asked a genuine question, would you be able to explain the relevance please? I just can’t understand how someone’s security as a public figure (who had no choice but to be one) and them boasting about their kill count are relevant to each other?
@FayeH321 @RoyalDelhiite Is it worth considering it wasn’t his choice to be born into a family that is so public and has a high security risk? It’s not like he can just stop being this public figure, one that he didn’t choose to be.
@CherieEvan11428 @Jenny_1884 Taking one point, there’s no ‘erosion of legal protections.’ If anything, those pushing to leave the ECHR threaten our rights, and that’s not Labour policy. Sentencing for serious crimes has toughened and courts remain independent. Claiming the system is rigged is just paranoia.
@CherieEvan11428 @Jenny_1884 You’ve mixed real concerns with conspiracy theories and misinformation. Calling Labour a ‘tyranny’ while tweeting freely is ironic. Democracy needs free speech and accountability—but also facts. If you care about justice, focus on scrutiny and real solutions, not fearmongering.
