The Tories Never Did Like the BBC

[jazzy_dave]

This damn fucking government is trying to Alter the very fabric of our most dearly beloved Auntie Beeb.

"The government is in danger of “dismantling the BBC’s civic value and destroying its economic value, which makes it even more important to involve the British public, especially as they haven’t had a chance before” to become involved."

Mind you , there are some programmes they could easily drop , such as The Voice, Strictly Come Dancing, the Bake Off programmes, and other such fluff.

Here is Graham Norton's view -

The Canadian Conservative Government has had it in for CBC ever since they got into office. They have gutted it financially. They have tried to silence it. They've effectively emasculated it especially its ability to provide regional coverage. The comedy shows continue to deal mercilessly with the government but ... how can you parody something that is already a parody of itself?
