Nebuchadnezzar (Blake) |
The outgoing BBC chairman Sir David Clementi has risked ridicule by using a very small-scale internal BBC study of 70 households carried out 6 years ago - before Netflix, Amazon and other streaming services had become fixtures in so many British homes - to allege that most people "cannot cope" without the BBC, whatever people he calls "professional detractors" and "right-wing thinkers" may say.
After just 9 days of BBC deprivation two-thirds of the BBC licence fee sceptics in the study underwent a 180° change of heart, saying they couldn't live without the wonderful BBC and expressing the belief that the licence fee is worth every last penny.
H'm.
I wonder how that ever-growing number of people who have rejected the wonders of the BBC and cancelled their licence fees are faring.
Are they all at their wit's end and eating grass? I very much doubt it.
