SELL THE BBC'

Alliance’s plan ‘to make £5bn’

- PETER DYKE

A CALL has gone out to Chancellor Rishi Sunak to sell off parts of the BBC and also Channel 4 to ease the tax burden on Brits.

The Taxpayers’ Alliance claims its plan could generate up to £5billion in total – enough to boost the entire nation’s tax-free personal allowances by £300.

The group claims both stations “no longer fit into the 21st century broadcasting market”.

Members say parts of the public-funded BBC should be sold off, which could rake in £2bn alone.
