FFS the BBC chose to give up the full rights to F1 in favour of keeping shite like Wimbledon!! no amount of petitions are going to make any difference because they cannot afford it!!!

Watch it at the pub?
Stream it online?
Find the extra Ł50 or so a month?

The possibilities are endless my friend.

tough shit. havent you worked out this country by now?? theres money to be made by fucking over the lower working class.

the upper working class and middle class are rich enough to pay for good tv that used to be free so of course anything decent will end up on sky.

you not noticed that on freeview?? anything fresh or decent on freeview gets bought out by sky then asset raped for all the good shows.

give it 10-20 years and TV license will buy you permission to watch a blank screen. You will need pay tv subscriptions for even the most basic channels.

capitalism in action my friend.
