But the licence fee is one thing that I believe they've got right. One of the very few remaining strands of socialism we have left in this country and I resent the idea of that being abolished. We're already edging towards the prospect of the NHS being taken over by private investors, I absolutely do not want that happening to the BBC.

It's rare that I agree with Pyramid, but as I've just explained I in no way disagree with any of what you've said with regards to MP's expenses and the like, but what relevance does that have in this thread exactly?

Jack stop thinking....

I would prefer to see our public services remain unprivatised...
You would have to live in a hole in the ground if you thought for one minute the news and programming on the BBC were not controlled by those with money and power.
Again I use it as a comparison, if you cannot see it then I don't see how I could make it any clearer jack sorry.
