And to think that we Brits are threatened with a criminal record if we fail to pay the BBC Licence Fee which is essentially a non avoidable impost.

They are even threatening 90 year olds with prison for not paying!
The BBC also seems to make a point of using voice-over people who can't pronounce "th" correctly, or who have the faux-Jamaican accent that seems to have permeated through some of the youth of the country.

I guess that it's about inclusivity, but when that involves things that are to the detriment of spoken English I feel that it's gone too far.
