When you get payoffs as high as the bbc has made recently i question the "public sevice" spirit of many of it's high end staff they just seem like snouts in the trough no different to many politicians.

My issue with the BBC is how they force themselves on you, of course the BBC zealots will say you don't have to pay your licence and dont watch the BBC.
However if you don't pay for a licence because you dont watch the BBC rubbish and you only watch commercial stations you will still be hounded to death by the TLA who will call at your house every week till you give in and pay your TAX.
If the BBC think there product is so good then issue cards to everyone for the freeview boxes and make the BBC a subscription service to the same amount as the licence fee. That way you have the CHOICE if you want to watch the BBC then pay your subscription if you dont then you dont pay and dont watch. This will remove the other argument that they should go to a advert based system.
