“I want everything but I don’t want to pay anything for it.” basically sums up the views of the right & the wealthy.
Billionaires are by definition extractive of far more of the society around them than they give to it. The same society they benefit from, which allows them the life they enjoy.

There is clearly a problem at the BBC. I’m not a fan of defunding it but it certainly requires a root & branch overall of not just the management but editorial teams and processes too.
