I'm not too worried about that as every is entitled to their own slant on things as long as it's broadly balanced out by others.

Other people in the country have a similar view. What makes her opinion so noteworthy? Is it because she has a famous brother? What makes that 'qualification' so special?

Will we be highlighting the views of the siblings of pop stars, film stars and footballers next? ;)

The BBC chose her to guest on Marr just for a bit of controversy.

It would just become a Sky clone going down market. Another in the 100s of crap cable channels, many of whom are showing repeats of BBC shows.

The BBC has had a lot of cuts, e.g BBC3; however the £13 a month it costs compares very favourably to other providers esp. since most of it is new/original. We'll be sorry when it's gone, like the NHS better keeping politicians away from it.
