The Conservative leadership candidate made his comments during a Q&A during at the party’s annual conference. He went on to say: ‘Why don’t we make sure that when China obsesses over Peppa Pig … that they pay for it rather than demanding that we pay for it all over again?’

Who cares what this liar thinks?
Just get politics out of it. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.
Copying UKIP policies won't get you elected. Centrism is slippery
Think what you want the bbc, we all know he wants it out because they were critical of the government
The BBC; not about British programming, but about programming the British.
His party is unsustainable.
BBC genocidal
What total right wing populist nonsense. 1. The bbc is one of the only common experiences keep the country together, when so many other media intentionally want to divide to drive eyeballs; 2) right wing ideas drive so much money from the 98%, the tv licence is a pinprick of their wealth transferring ideology and policy. Calling BS
James 'NotSo' Cleverly sharing with us all his in depth wisdom again
Nevermind the fee, get rid of the BBC!
The Australian model works so much better! And I generally prefer the ABC to all the commercial channels here. No one complains about it either! NSW in Oz 🇦🇺
Then why didn't they do it when they were in power? They had 14 years.
Why are he still platforming the corrupt?
Get the politics out of the BBC. Make the corporation truly independent of government and government interference.
Meanwhile welcome in to FOX UK , free to air!
Oh no! The BBC makes some of the world’s best telly and radio programmes. If they lose their license fee, they will then be forced to become American-style lowest common denominator telly – ugh! 😭
Scary to think this man has a chance to lead a party 😢
For a Tory I like cleverly actually… not because of this but how he talks about the economy…
I do also agree with getting rid of the bbc license fee. It costs more than every other subscription and yet the bbc is worse. Less quality, less choice and limited use of 4k never mind no use of Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos.
Agreed, the BBC has turned into a left wing activist channel.
If only they'd used a fraction of that waisted PPE money we could have the BBC for ever!
They will drop it and add it to council tax
Yes drop it to £0, only fairies watch the BBC programs like dancing on ice and eastenders
😢
