Atrocious garbage

Atrocious garbage! I am not interested in Andrew, or Africa, or Aardvarks, or your endless adverts for your own woke content. Why not some UK news for a change? Bring back Jo Gosling! Not paying £180 pa for this anymore.

They need defunding

They need defunding, they're a disgrace

They're supposed to be impartial but it's nothing of the sort. Just look at the people they have on their shows and the huge bias they show when reporting the news.

BBC news on Radio 4 this morning

BBC news on Radio 4 this morning. W.R.T. Filth posted to Carol Vorderman ,( I cannot repeat it ) .. This is not news its filth.. supported apparently by someone who is standing as an MP for Reform. I still cannot believe what Ive heard from the BBC who continues to drag itself along the gutter.

The selection of news is by box tickers whose job is to fill space

oooh, another archive pic of Andrew Mountbatten quick, same old ones ,just use over and over again.

Health warning. Catastrophe, sandwiches may contain bread, threat to most of the population - whatever that is.

Here's what you need NEED to know. Star of latest bonking film changes underpants 60 times a day. This is our Kulchur section.

HOW WORRIED SHOULD WE BE when you could be strangled by knicker elastic in 60 seconds? (Not at all).

WATCH! WATCH! building falling on people, plane crashing into house, WATCH! WATCH!

Five things you need to know. Or maybe ten things. A pop star you've never heard of is in a relationship with a footballer who earns £2M a week and has developed a ginger moustache.

If you keep scrolling through a huge amount of rubbish, you might be lucky enough to find informed comment.

I'm so sick of the BBC news

I'm so sick of the BBC news, I want to know what is happening in the world that I live in!!! Not the same story about football and money waisted on the railways. The world is a big place. TELL US ABOUT OUR WORLD. WHAT IS HAPPENING. your news coverage has gone down hill so much its disgusting.

Sign in for a 90 year old? What?

This afternoon I have spent time enabling my 90 year old father watch BBC news on his ipad again!
One of his few outlets now as looking after an 89 year old wife, in the later stages of alzeimers, and on his own!
The BBC had asked him to 'sign in' (why?) rightly he didn't understand or know what to do, nor, should he have even been asked!!

He did nothing wrong, he's paid a licence fee I'd estimate about 65+ years. You treat him like this? This is NOT USER FRIENDLY SERVICE, BBC thugs, as I myself have also found out!!!

Make it subscription, you pay you get, you don't pay, you don't get. Simple!!

You give yourselves a bad name!!!

BBC love you but you are afraid of Trump and Netanyahu news deserves a true and genuine…

BBC news deserves a true and genuine review . We get up to date info except when it comes to Gaza and the Middle East. BBC failed to see that Kier Starmer lost the respect of most British people when he announced on USA tv that he had great sympathy for Israel ...he completely ignored the fact that Palestine has lost thousands of innocent victims. BBC also fails to admit or sympathise with the genocide taking place in Gaza. Palestinian and Lebanese people are lovely, gentle citizens who only want peace but are subject to slaughter by the Israel terror force; with no help from the so called UN peace keeping force. I am Welsh , we have kind hearts, we would like to see the BBC tell it as it is. If people like Netanyahu and Trump can joke and brag about the fantastic amount of people they have annihilated then news readers should speak up about these killers getting away with murder on a daily basis. Speak up BBC, about the evil of genocide for the sake of greed. The counry, Europe and the world would give you a standing ovation.👏👏👏👏

Declining reliability

The BBC has positioned itself quite firmly to the left, which would be fine if they didn't have the impartiality charter... However, I often find that the journalism is not what it once was. More often than not there are stories that are purposely omitting key details and I feel like I have had enough of the BBC and other News outlets.
BBC sport remains alright.
I will find an alternative news sources, where possible.

Completely underwhelmed and let down

Completely underwhelmed and let down. A waste of money. Wish I had stuck to Apple News. Smattered with ads which are not supposed to be there. Limited offerings when compared to Netflix, should be combined with Briton. No local UK news. Outdated international news. Poor broad base world news offering. Words fail me.
