I want to know what WE.. the Licence payer are paying for. The BBC is being sold off bit by bit, I thought it was ours as we pay for it? How come? Wheres OUR money going.. paying Mr. Thompson to cut everything.. ?? Budget.. who sets it, the government, I ask again, wheres out money going? Collected by Capita.. are they `adminning` everything? Why? Said who? Not me.. I just paid £135.50.. by LAW.. what for? Only the BBC.. I dont listen to radio.. DAB has a bad name for efficiency so far.. the BBC still thinks its superioir.. why is it even competing for viewing figures when the charter doesnt mention it? Something is twisted. Come on.. sense?
Yup. Keep the tat when you're cutting the fat.
That'll work.
