Funding the Putin regime

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, British Broadcasting Corporation should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

Do you pay Wimbledon tennis club for the rights to show the annual 'Wimbledon tennis tournament'. If so, how much do you pay to this private, exclusive entity?

This year the Wimbledon tournament features several Russian players. By broadcasting this tournament and potentially paying money to this club you have allowed Russians to earn vast amounts of winnings (income) presumably subject to tax in Russia and therefore used to fuel Putin's killing of Ukranians. My question is, how can you use British licence payer's money to facilitate the killing of innocent people?

Yours faithfully,

Kim Campbell
