This is a very important point. There is a reason there is a "cultural victory" in the Civilization games and the UK is definitely ceding cultural influence with this move.
To such an extent that I wonder if there is back-channel influence flowing out of the US pushing for this...

Or the reason why the US has had Radio Free Europe for decades.
I believe all such programs were defunded a few months ago...

Time to unfollow them, I guess.
Geez, I feel slightly to blame for checking bbc.com a couple times a day and rejecting the cookies

Guess the Tankies are loving Trump for that one.

Their grants were cut by a Trump EO, and they’re suing to have them reinstated. They’re very much still around.

Glad they're still there - hope they're not working without pay anytime soon.

A bizarre decision.
Every paywalled news site is a news site I don't read.
I mean, nobody likes adverts, but I think even fewer people like paying.
I don't like having to have one more login for something, it's more about that then the money even.

Can you just use a vpn to listen to the radio? I listen to bbc every morning before work, I will not pay though

I work for a living, so I'm used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.
That's exactly my point.
Presumably you're paid for the work you do, and you shouldn't have to do it for free, yes?

Yes. But I'm not paid continuously for the work I've done in the past, and I'm not paid the actual value of my work.
Should we still be paying Homer for his incredible work on the Iliad, do you think?
