To be fair I don't think that the budget calculator is particularly good - it shows me being +- £500 up as a result of the budget.

In the interests of science, if you can arrange it, I am happy to put your hypothesis to the test.

Are you a complete moron ? People like you don't deserve the BBC.

OK, you check the above with Mrs Cole, I'll check the rest of her group (plus the Saturdays, for good measure and as a "control set") laugh

I think Mclovin has a point, the BBC certainly isn't what it used to be, dumbing down the nation, in line with it's pay masters requirements.

Who is the moron here? I would be quite happy if the BBC was made a private organisation and was forced to compete with other news organisations.

To me it is effectively a TV tax. Not necessarily a problem if the funded organisation is un-biased and fully independent.

But an organisation that uses the phrase 'Tories' in all its articles says it all to me.

The BBC is a bit like the government - bloated, inefficient, arrogant, agenda-ridden, champagne-socialist bds.

What a shock you are going to get when the BBC goes. The Joy of Fox.

Fox can take whatever political line they want, I don't care because I am not forced to pay for it.

I watch the BBC, I also watch ITV, Channel4 and Channel5. I watch Dave rather a lot too.

In fact the proportion of watching of the BBC is about 1 fifth of the TV I watch so if it were to simply disappear, which I doubt will happen, I will still have award winning TV available at the touch of a button.

I don't doubt the great contribution (Top Gear) the BBC makes, even if it is biassed with politics, and I would miss it if it were to vanish, but it won't.

I do begrudge the BBC's TV tax. Whats it for? Owning a TV. Oh dear, I own a lawnmower, are they going to tax me for that? (OK probably)

If the licence went tomorrow I wouldn't shed a tear.
