Bad reception for brainwashe­r BBC

-

More than 110,000 people complained about the BBC’s over-the-top coverage of Prince

Philip’s death which saw the schedules filled with nothing but glowing tributes to him for 24 hours.

Shame the many millions more who would have liked something else to watch, or hear, after half an hour digesting the news of the death of a 99-year-old stranger, didn’t get through.

What a great way to tell younger generation­s, and Republican­s, that it really is in their interests to pay their licence? What a great boost for Netflix who must have seen a surge of new customers last weekend. What a comeback for North Korean state broadcasti­ng whenever we ridicule their brainwashi­ng.

The fear at the top of the BBC of falling foul of the Establishm­ent is now so mortal I’m thinking of holding a two-minute silence for its death.
