What is it the BBC? They received extra Govt funding to honour free TV licence for over 75s, have blown £87M rebuilding the set for EastEnders, £100M on a digital channel that wasn't launched & set aside £12M to pay HMRC tax bills for celebrities!🤬 This a clear misuse of fees!

This article is sadly true - but narcissist dictator @SadiqKhan will be voted out as @MayorofLondon in May 2024, as @Councillorsuzie will hopefully be elected. 🙏 Khan has "normalised" knife crime, as all he cares about is ULEZ & has ruined London! 🤦🤬

@JeremyClarkson The BBC is no longer what it used to be. The fact that they received extra Govt funding for free licences for 75+, blew £87M on new set for EastEnders, set aside £12M for celebrity HMRC tax bills - this is illegal and a misuse of licence fees. Govt needs to defund the BBC.
