As much as I support the necessity of good public service broadcaster, I would really like to challenge Beeboids like him: If he really believes the BBC is providing a “world-class” service for the public, how successful does he believe it would be in its present guise if it was paid for by voluntary subscription?Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818860172734529356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-25395449220397903572017-07-09T12:56:26.855+01:002017-07-09T12:56:26.855+01:00Very true.Very true.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-12845001769208347092017-07-09T10:10:31.636+01:002017-07-09T10:10:31.636+01:00If John Simpson had worked his way to the top of h...If John Simpson had worked his way to the top of his profession anywhere other than at the BBC, he would have been retired long since by now and put out to grass - sent elsewhere with a big clock under his arm and told to keep quiet.
