The time has come for the BBC to find alternative funding

I have noticed over last few days considerable discussion in the media concerning the impartiality/ bias of the BBC. It is frankly laughable that the last people to acknowledge the obvious bias of the BBC is the corporation itself. It has for at least the last three decades promulgated a sometimes vitriolic left-wing dogma. Its attitude towards the Israeli-Palestinian situation, its contempt for the countryside and hunting with hounds, its obsession with browbeating the British public to believe that man-made global warming is a fact and not merely one scientific theory. Also its most recent hobby-horse its unquestioning acceptance of the banning of smoking in public places. All the above would be bad enough where it funded commercially or by voluntary subscription. The fact that it is funded by a compulsory tax in the form of the licence-fee has become unacceptable to many people in Britain.

The time is now long overdue for the BBC who seem to represent no one except their own woolly-minded left-wing right-on PC views to cut the cord of public funding and stand on its own two feet of as Simon Heffer so rightly said in today's Telegraph BBC bias is so ingrained it can never hope to regain any scrap of veracity in claiming it is an impartial and balanced broadcaster. Since this is the case it must find alternative way of funding its output.
