The BBC has long been left wing and anti British, its treatment of pensioners is disgusting and now they want to ban british songs "Land of Hope and Glory" etc
Slowly but surely the BBC are chipping away at "Britishness" and supporting every left wing agender they can find, they are supposed to be impartial but left that a long time ago
