Calls for BBC boycott after Panorama

People have been taking to Facebook to vent their anger at the BBC following a Panorama report on tax avoidance.

After the series showed a two-part investigation into the "Paradise Papers" stolen from law firm Appleby, a number of Manx-based social media users have said they'll stop paying their TV license.

Most say they're angry at the way the BBC portrayed the Isle of Man and accuse the programme of poor journalism.

And they've been urging other people to stop paying their TV licenses.

Others have taken to Twitter to air their frustration with the BBC:

Biased half truths presented as fact by the world's most sanctimonious man. Not sure how this is journalism.

There isn’t a political party system in the Isle of Man. So no opposition party. Quality reporting #Panorama

Panarama attack the Isle of Man without recognising it on their own map. Shoddy. #fb pic.twitter.com/fNY8THSBN2

In case you think the Isle of Man is populated only by tax avoiders let me tell you we have a foodbank and plenty just about managing.

People do know the Isle of Man's VAT rules are almost identical to the UKs?

Hope Tynwald considers a robust response to this unwarranted attack on our Parliament @juanwatterson https://t.co/oC1tQ9lNFN

Panorama has fundamentally misunderstood the Isle of Man's political system. https://t.co/n3YuRkLrCw
