“The BBC are saying, ‘we need more money because the nasty people have stopped paying us, so we're going to have to put up the TV licence’. Well, stop giving yourselves pay rises then. Cut back. If people don't want to pay for the BBC then tighten your belts.” @BeccyRyan tells

“What the BBC has now produced is not an act of accountability, it is an act of institutional self-preservation. A cover-up of a cover-up. A report written not to confront failure, but to excuse it.” @jonsac. #DefundTheBBC.

“Whilst the BBC is in the midst of this turmoil around these various reports, particularly around the Hamas report and Greg Wallace one, people see these salaries come out and are like, ‘well, why are we paying for this?’” @BeccyRyan. #DefundTheBBC

The BBC has admitted it could have done more to stop Gregg Wallace, as an official report upheld 45 allegations against the MasterChef presenter. Have the BBC learnt nothing from their countless scandals over the years? Another complete failure. #DefundTheBBC.

The BBC are set to hand Wayne Rooney a £800,000 deal to be a Match of the Day pundit. Another outrageous use of licence fee payers money for an ex-footballer on an incredibly bloated salary. A slap in the face for many Brits struggling with the cost of living. #DefundTheBBC.

🚨The BBC cannot be trusted to mark its own homework. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is being pushed to intervene following a “series of high-profile blunders” which reveal “deeply ingrained ideological bias”. #DefundtheBBC.

The BBC has admitted it streamed the Glastonbury set by Bob Vylan live despite categorising the act as “high risk” beforehand. It’s unbelievable how this was allowed to happen and yet Tim Davie still hasn’t resigned. #DefundTheBBC.

“The Beeb’s official apology was a joke: far too little, too late… You would have expected BBC director-general Tim Davie to tender his resignation. The situation demands nothing less.” @AllisonPearson. #DefundTheBBC.

Lisa Nandy has a lot of questions, but does she have any answers? . She should be urgently looking into getting rid of the licence fee to stop the British public being forced to pay for the broadcasting of hate chants. #DefundTheBBC
