A massive struggle session has appeared in the UK left with arguments over defending the BBC or not now that it has been announced that the tv license might be gone by 2027.

The factions seem to be:

A "But it makes good entertainment and documentaries and music and puts lgbt people in shows"

B "Yeah but none of that has anything to do with the extreme political harm it clearly does".

I am in faction B and have no idea how to get through to the first faction. Libs obviously also support the first faction.

I assume Hexbear being anti-treats lately would also be in faction B but could be wrong.

What are your thoughts on the topic overall?

    I don’t think you could find a single hexbear user that would defend bbc

      I wish that were the case in the British left...

      I guess you could make the argument that the bbc's audience will largely exodus into even worse commercial news. Maybe at best a handful of libs will radicalize if you take away their topgear and doctor who treats.
