Once again its Christmas time

Once again its Christmas time, repeats from shows donkeys years ago and other rubbish. How dare you charge for a television licence, it all needs to change. Don't they think we are sick and tired of Morecombe and Wise year after year and all the other out of date programmes.

Distressed by scenes

I am fed up watching charities begging for donations when people in this country have a cost of living crisis:examples, donkeys , dogs, cats, water, RSPCA, paying for a licence and having to watch the most distressing sights if people want to donate they will find an animal charity it should not be allowed they warn you about flashing images but show you animals on the brink of death how is this a considerate action by a company disgraceful.I’ve given a five star review because I want people to see this review but in reality only deserves One star review let’s hope this sort of thing is policed more considerately l👎 mostly on the crime channel but other channels as well.

Now blocked/banned from posting on HYS.

Now blocked/banned from posting on HYS.
Now I can't even complain about the other owner of the BBC - Elon Musk.
Why should an alien to the UK have so much input and say? It's always Twatter or now X.

Waste of money.

Conclude X on service.
Elon can pay instead

Plummeted like a stone..

10 years ago I thought they were very good, they've just plummeted in the quality of reporting, interviewing and impartiality. On employment they no longer run a "meritocracy", meaning Best Person gets the job. And weak on-air program interviewers don't ask hard, direct questions and push for an answer. They allow the interviewee to totally avoid answering.

Poor priorities, poor management, poor HR policy... and it shows 1000%

Today Assad of syria was deposed

Today Assad of syria was deposed, and the BBC are again showing the fake footage of little children in a room rubbing their eyes after the sarin attack. This was proved to be staged propaganda and yet they are still reporting it as a fact. I finally woke up to post truth world after Grenfell, when the bbc and all the other networks reported verbatim, " and the fire response time at grenfell was 5 minutes" over and over again, every 5 minutes even when it sounded out of context, like they were drumming it into you. I saw the grenfell tower live on tv a few hours earlier, about 2 or 3 am there was a black guy bottom left of screen screaming hysterically "where are the fire engines?" And in the same shot at the right hand side you could see the flames near the top of the building. I went to sleep, and woke at 7 am and heard on the BBC, and all the other news networks " the fire response time at grenfell was 5 minutes" verbatim , I heard it so many times that I thought I must have dreamt the black guy and the absence of fire engines.Later in the week I talked to my mum and by some weird coincidence she saw Grenfell live, the first time she ever got out of bed to turn on TV in middle of night. And she saw this black guy also. It wasn't a dream after all. But this is the strength of the power of media suggestion that I didn't believe my own eyes. I read since that if you tell a lie to a person so many times it becomes the truth to them, it's called the illusory truth effect, it is brain washing. The BBC pundits are there saying on those little promotionary adverts "you can trust us" " there is no spin" "we are here for you 24/7", Clive myrie pictured with his head down and hand on his brow in exhaustion cos he does such a good job, and the pompous John Simpson who thinks he liberated Kabul. It is Orwellian and sinister. And I am not a conspiracy theorist either.

The British Brainwashing Corporation…

The British Brainwashing Corporation are derelict in their duty to the Scottish people in reporting fair and balanced news and positive programming. I know many people who have not renewed their TV licence and I will be joining them. I look forward to a new truly positive Scottish television station in the future. Do better for the remaining audience which is fast dwindling

The BBC is Fake News

The BBC has become a deeply biased media channel, one that prioritises propaganda over truth and serves as a mouthpiece for Israeli narratives. By spreading misinformation and omitting critical facts, the organisation is complicit in enabling and excusing atrocities. I cannot understand how anyone with a conscience could work there, knowing they are contributing to the suffering of countless people. This betrayal of journalistic integrity is both shameful and damning.

DISGUSTING MENTAL TORTURE!

DISGUSTING MENTAL TORTURE!
PLEASE READ!
These S-bags have rated a kids film 11 rated and any under five year olds must have an adult with them.
The film in question is the new Halloween film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, we walked (two parents and four children 14/ 11, 9 and 5 years of age )out within 15 minutes for the reasons I’m about to list you will be absolutely gobsmacked and if your kids want to see this film do not let them. This is an absolute disgrace to the film industry. This film with either be banned completely or made an over 21 film.

The first thing we noticed is an adult that couldn’t cope through the day so they were swallowing pills, these pills were large red and white and showed a few times, reason 2 why we walked out was a serious plane crash where the engine caught on fire, reason 3 a man being eaten by a shark with blood spattering, reason 4!!!!! A woman stapling her face together!
God knows what else happened in this film, but I grabbed the kids grab my Mrs and we left. I screamed at the manager of the film should be banned. I’m surprised the whole cinemat didn’t follow us.
(Maybe they did)

This film I was put on the same rating as the hostel if any adults have seen it it is along them lines. It is terrifying detrimental and definitely traumatising especially to any under 18-year-old. I was gobsmacked!

The manager of the complex told me that BBC have rated this film. I can’t believe that the BBC have rated the film that involves drugs, death torture and explosions including aeroplane crashes and shark deaths at 12 honestly they need to be closed down.
I didn’t stick around with my family to watch any more. I’m sure there are loads more terrifying things but for me I was worried about my children’s mental state. My 14-year-old looked at me and said that what is this film and that’s a child telling his father before I already made up my decision to go.
STAY AWAY i’ll be traumatised. I am sure for the rest of your life.
This is not a family or children’s film this is full-blown horror poltergeist Freddy Krueger hostel chainsaw massacre type film.
It’s right up there with the ones that you will never forget and the last thing you want is to let your children experience this at especially at such a young age whoever made this film needs to be x in the head.

the BBC lost its way and went totally mad leftist and woke after the george floyd incident.the bias is nauseating and losing them millions of viewers right across the spectrum of their programming.as for apologies and an unbiased HYS forum forget it.say anything that does not fit their criteria and stance and it is swiftly removed or more likely now their is no HYS on controversial news stories such as chris Kaba as this would paint a true picture of what the public really think.no democracy or free speech with this lot.

Poor reporting

I have some doubts about BBC news articles, particularly those related to health advice, which often seem like pseudoscience. Additionally, I find it troubling to see issues like hemophobia being misrepresented. With the recent Gaza war, BBC has completely exposed itself with very poor reporting.

Biased towards Israel,puppets to the USA and disgraceful reporting treating viewers like children. Absolut3 disgrace. Watched a news article banging on about a drone attack on Israel with a damaged building meanwhile back in refugee camps people burning alive in tents. You should have the word British removed. I am British English and not at any time do you represent me....close this lot down
