“That would be fine if the BBC wasn’t funded by the taxpayer.”
I think you’ll find it’s funded by the licence payers….
“The BBC is principally funded through the licence fee paid by UK households. In 2021/22 this generated £3.8bn. In addition, the BBC’s commercial operations, such as BBC Studios, provide supplementary income. In 2021/22, the BBC made £1.7bn through its commercial operations.”
Furthermore….
“The BBC is a statutory corporation, independent from direct government intervention, with its activities being overseen from April 2017 by the BBC Board and regulated by Ofcom.”
But as you have so many friends working there you’d have known that already.
