I wonder how many of these ‘stars’ could have their salaries cut by government to help those who need it most right now?

Lavish #BBC wages could be saving lives instead. #StoptheFee #coronavirus

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Should Boris Johnson's government defund the BBC?

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

John Sweeney’s argument that we should spend more time in Russia so that we can appreciate the BBC speaks for itself. Pensioners are facing jail over this stuff. #BBC #StoptheFee

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'What it does is projects our country, our values, our sense of fun and also tells honest news.'

John Sweeney argues the BBC provides more than entertainment and 'does amazing things for the country'

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

Nobody is calling for an end to the BBC, just the medieval way it’s funded. #StopTheFee

[The Reclaim Party @thereclaimparty]

If it’s such great value @mrdanwalker, you don’t need to worry about moving to a subscription service, or your £295,000 a year salary. 😉

Graham Norton was paid £3.23 million in 2019 by the BBC. Broken down that equated to £101,105 per show. If you don’t cough up and pay these salaries, you will be threatened and face prosecution. Is any entertainment worth that? #licencefee #bbc

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

Dear @tvlicensing, why are you sending threatening letters to ordinary hardworking people (many vulnerable) telling them you’re going to visit their house? Doesn’t the government’s #StayAtHome message apply to you? #stopthefee #bbc

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

If you haven’t already, head over and follow @DefundBBC led by @JamesLYucel. The message is stronger than ever before - the BBC must change. #StoptheFee #DefundTheBBC

How many police injuries are necessary before the BBC accepts that the protests weren't "largely peaceful"?
50?
100?
500?

We have all seen footage of anarchists (plenty of them white) vandalising and looting. Yet the BBC continues to treat the riots as though they were civil rights protests - a linkage made explicitly by Nick Robinson on the Today programme this morning.

Embarrassing for the BBC.

[Christopher Snowdon @cjsnowdon]

Newsnight is now starting with a monologue telling you what you are supposed to think. We’re being forced to pay for a left-wing version of Fox News.

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

BBC presenter Emily Maitlis is brazenly taking on the role of partisan political commentator. The BBC ought to be impartial. You have to pay for it, regardless of whether or not you value her personal opinion. We want to change this. Follow us and together we will #stopthefee

[Ashley Cowburn @ashcowburn]

.@maitlis: “Good evening. Dominic Cummings broke the rules. The country can see that and it’s shocked the government cannot.”

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

Did you all see this? 🤣

[Rod Bishop @rodbishop15]

Legend. @BBCNews put on its arse. The best bit of TV so far. 😂😂😂😂#LordSumption

[Edwina Currie @Edwina_Currie]

Especially when added to £80m of cuts in the BBC News budget. And they’re supposed to be public service broadcasters, can’t do without them, blah, blah.. instead they’re spending more on yoof, who certainly can do without them.

[Stephen Pollard @stephenpollard]

The closure of BBC4 says all that needs to be said about the judgement of the BBC's senior management.

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

It’s OUR money. Why don’t the people who have to fund get a say?

A subscription model wouldn’t let this happen. Scandalous. #StoptheFee

[TV Zone @tvukzone]

NEW: BBC executives have reportedly conceded that BBC Four will go off-air by the end of the year.

The decision is reportedly driven by cost cutting due to the Coronavirus crisis. The majority of BBC Four's budget would be reassigned to BBC Three.

[Stop the Fee @StopTheFee]

Less choice, but you still have to pay for it.

This post from @TPointUK is spot on. Anything but balanced.

@Justath14186146 We agree with you - it’s mad. #StoptheFee
