Regarding the points made by @blakeyrat, I think I have some comments to make.
- Not every damm nation in the world needs to have the same government type. It is perfectly damm fine for every nation not to be a Glorious Presidential/Republican Democracy. Monarchies (so long as they aren't absolute) are also perfectly damm fine.
- The BBC is pretty sweet. It provides fairly unbiased coverage and a number of good shows e.g Doctor Who. I'd rather have it over having every station be a biased corporate mouthpiece showing shitty commercials to get us to let other screw us over.
- It's also okay for the government to essentially be paying for and sponsoring things. Socialism is sweet, and in some cases better than communism (Corporations can, and will screw you/everyone over in the pursuit of Glorious Infinite Money.)
