Given the year is drawing to a close, the BBC traditionally publishes a "Best of..." series of lists of music, books and other artforms.



In its Top Ten popular music albums of 2021, ALL its nomantions are either female or people of colour, including one gay black artist. The majority being by female artists.



Not one white male artist or group nominated.



The same racial and gender bias followed in the books list, although there might have been one white male (it's hard to tell when writers use pseudonyms).



White British taxpayers money being used to foster sexism and racism. Of course, the frightened, limp wristed government simply stands by and allows their voters money to be used to promote hard left socialism.

Their Conservative party is almost as timid as ours. Johnson won't privatize the BBC.

If Margaret Thatcher didn't do it, no British Tory leader will make privatizing the BBC a platform plank.

They may not have a choice. The revolt against the TV licence system in the UK that funds the BBC grows daily. Their licence revenue has fallen away greatly in the last few years. Either taxpayers will have to shtump up more to keep it going, or it will have to revert to a paid service model.

I wouldn't like that either. They could use a funding model like we do and I assume Australia does for our public broadcasters.

Ours is funded to the tune of 1 billion $AUD a year out of general funds. It has no private income.



It is, like the Beeb, a bastion of leftist thought and indoctrination.

The CBC gets $1.2 billion. They have priavate advertising, but it has been going down for years. And it too is prog thought and bullshit.

The ABC has no advertising beyond self promotion.



It is 100% taxpayer funded.



It's main audience is people who don't pay tax.

Ya, I remember it. It's a clone of the CBC. The CBC has a bit of advertising revenue, but not much.

The CBC still shows NHL games which are probably it's best ratings.
