Defund the BBC
Channel: Political Dregs
Date: 2020-06-29

The Political Dregs talk about the new campaign to "DEFUND THE BBC" and what we all think about our national broadcaster. Is it biased? Does it provide programming no commercial outlet would do? Should not paying the licence fee be a criminal offence? Let us know what you think in the comments and whether you support this new campaign.
