      Completely agree, however in the BBC's defense it was relatively impartial in the build up to the Brexit vote. As soon as the vote went the way it did it became clear they didn't understand the country outside of London and didn't have the diversity of thought or opinion within the organisation to understand it. It just wasn't in their capabilities. I've not watched any of its news or political output since then.

    There's no justification for a license to watch a TV in this day and age. Outdated and unnecessary.

    When they were told they were too London centric they should have opened a new Pebble Mill in Brum, expanded the Oxford Road Studios in Manchester and opened small studios up around the country. What they did instead was move the whole thing from London to Manchester which cost hundreds of millions. They're now diminishing the regional studios which give a voice to the rest of the country outside of Salford Quays.

    It won’t happen because the writing is on the Wall.
