@Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

@Riley_Gaines_ No. It gets shouted about constantly and has disproportionate coverage of those with those opinions across major outlets. MPs with those opinions have their own TV and radio shows on Freeview with very little governance. You're talking bollocks. Stop ****-stirring.

@BowesChay Why waste money on Netflix when one can enjoy Freeview or built in Roku TV when buying a new TV down in Tesco? And you get Clubcard points too!

@CapelLofft Never underestimate them. A good way to combat it is feing ignorance. You don't have a smartphone, you have no computers. Never been much into that stuff. You just have a plain telly and freeview box. No internet. And you don't have BBC, or a smart meter.
