How can we pay for the BBC .... ?

It's a knotty problem. The Beeb has been wasting license payers money for years, paying "stars" like Jonathan Ross tens of millions of pounds and commissioning reality crap for the masses whilst the management gets fatter and more indolent as time goes on.

It's all a bit tricky really, faced with huge debts and an inability operate the corporation sits on it's fat, bloated arse like Jabba the Hut dreaming up ever more expensive and preposterous ideas whilst whining about how badly done-to it is.

Obviously the Government is listening, because, according to a report in today's News of the World, the latest, greatest scheme to help the BBC is to tax Internet advertising. Yes folks, you heard it. Not content with buggering everything else up, the "people in charge" have now reached the point where they have so little over ANY financial matters, they've decided the raid the last piggy bank available to them. Tax from smoking is on the wane because they've basically criminalised it, drink is next and without two of the biggest money spinners to boost the coffers, the Internet is an obvious choice to pay for the failings of yet another "responsible" organisation.

I've had a think, and here's some of my ideas for making the BBC less wasteful.

* Sack Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton and and anyone else on a grossly ridiculous salary - and let's be honest "grossly ridiculous" really means anyone on more than £100k a year.

* Stop making crap TV that no-one wants and focus efforts on what the BBC does best

* Scrap News24 as no-one watches it.

* Scrap all radio stations except for Radio 1, 2 and 4, the rest is either an indulgence or the brainchild of some Politically Correct halfwit

And most of all ...

* Get rid of the World Service - for Christ's sake why are the British people paying for others around the world to get free news coverage. Once upon a time, the BBC was a highly regarded, unique institiution. These days, it's just another new service and WE do no need to be paying for it.

Six or eight months ago, the Beeb launched a Persian news service to cover Afghanistan et al - but really, who the hell cares? You can bet your arse most of the suspicious halfwits over there regard it as being pro-West propaganda anyways so it's complete waste of money - a bit like the Olympic coverage where the BBC sent 400+ staff members to China to cover a few running and jumping games - pointless, dull and utterly uninteresting...

Better still, make the BBC carry advertising and make better use of the material it sells internationally - I'm sure Dr Who is a great little money spinner worldwide as is Top Gear - but then, they never really talk about how much they make from worldwide sales, do they?

Two interesting points are raised by the News of the World article;

1. The BBC needs taking in hand and sorting out - or closing down - once and for all.

2. The Government are so utterly devoid of ideas they're looking to tax anything in sight before we really, truly realise the extent to which they've sold us all down the river.

It's time for an end to Brown and the scum-sucking toadies he's appojted to run the country. I have no idea what would replace him and right now I don't care, even Lucifer himself would be a blessed relief after the last ten years of bullshit, lies and wars.
