Heffer has some good insight on the BBC here….
Most significantly, a drastically reduced BBC would eliminate much of the Leftist influence that dominates it. Socialist dramatists, reporters, editors and presenters could take their chances in the private sector. Oddly enough, I suspect that might be the last we would hear of them: which is precisely why the BBC will fight like a hellcat to retain as much of its present functions as it can.
Heffer omitted all those atrocious leftie comedians.
I was listening to a repeat of the Now Show today – I didn’t find one single line amusing. Just one long bloody rant.
Heffer hits the nail on the head. These worthless unfunny toerags give their kind lots of space on “Toady” etc to wonder whethere the Tories will be as nice to the arts as that nice Tony Blair!
The rest of us get the chance to listen in as we crave Brigstocke and radio 1 Xtra…and Naughties Opera box won`t be coming cheap.
First person to halve the BBCs budget gets my vote!
Yes, all the BBC would be left with is Radio 3.
