THE BBC dubbed by Brits as the British Bias Corporation is ‘haemorrhaging support’ and could soon ‘reach vanishing point’, a Tory MP has warned.

His comments come after the BBC published its annual report yesterday, showing one million households deserted it over the last two years. Figures reveal the corporation lost 300,000 licence fee payers in 2019 and 700,000 in 2020. 

BBC bosses blamed changing audience habits and restrictions on its ability to enforce payment for licences due to the pandemic for last year’s catastrophic figures. Tory MP Julian Knight told The Times the BBC is facing an existential crisis, whose future was far from secure.

The chairman of the Commons media select committee said: ‘It is clear the BBC is haemorrhaging support amongst a significant proportion of the British public.

‘The broadcaster, if this trend continues, could soon reach vanishing point where evasion is so widespread as to undermine faith in the TV licence system. ‘This is fast becoming a crisis for the BBC.’

To compound matters, the public broadcaster is also facing a revolt from 260,000 pensioners, who have so far refused to pay the £159 fee after free licences were scrapped for over-75s last year.

The BBC has come under sustained attack from its opponents for its continuing reliance on the licence fee to fund its programmes. In a recent tweet, former Brexit Party MEP and outspoken critic of the BBC, Rupert Lowe, renewed his calls for the licence fee to be abolished.

He wrote: ‘It does feel like the tide is turning against the BBC. It needs a total overhaul and that has to start with scrapping the licence fee. Once they stop fleecing all of us for our cash, they can do what they like. It wouldn’t last a fortnight!’

THE BBC has splurged taxpayers’ money on a new logo which looks almost identical to its old one. The new logo features the letters BBC in three blocks. It uses the bespoke font BBC Reith, which is named after the broadcaster’s founder John Reith.

The three blocks containing the letters are also slightly further apart. The taxpayers’ money was used to design it. The cost is thought to have run into tens of thousands of pounds, according to the newspaper.

The new logo was unveiled on the BBC Select streaming service in February. And it is expected to be displayed on television from the autumn. TV analysts Clean Feed said: ‘It looks like a badly executed mock-up of the current logo.’ Source 1, Source 2.

Cannes, yesterday: the masters congratulate each other and embrace unmasked, while the slaves, with muzzle, scream at each other and are divided. At the forefront of the shot, the former minister of health and the current minister of culture: Roseline Bachelot, who eulogizes the mask and urges people to vax-x-inate!!!
