I think you're bang wrong there CanonCaliberyou have no idea how much stuff the BBC does for this country. I am biased, I freely admit it,but I loved them even before I worked for them. Working there only increased my understanding of the breadth of content and community schemes they get involved with.
like others have said, if you look at the alternative (Sky) they're the brainwashers, and to a much more sinister end...
consume, fear, separation, feed corporate beast, fill pockets of fat cats, prejudice, Glen Beck, Murdochs agenda and empire.
Who do you believe more? Sky News or Radio 4 coverage of a story? What comedy would you rather watch? BBC stuff (the list's far too long) or sky's stuff? oh right... they don't make any, they just buy stuff from America.
Sure the BBC isn't completely innocent, but if you had any idea of how much effort is put into fairness and value for money, you'd shut the flip up!
phew!!!!! It's high & Windy up on the soap box... can I come down now? ;)

We'll miss it when Murdoch and the Tory philistine's are all that's left.

I am not against the BBCBut I am vehemently against the licence fee (which funds the BBC), If you love the BBC so much then pay for it yourself through subscription, stop forcing others to subsidize your entertainment
