And we all are welcome to our opinions However, as I have already saif, this current investigation, in my opinion, just be another waste of money when it is found that they aren't, actually, doing anything wrong.

It's called an analogy; or a comparison. They are (whether you think so or not) both public services paid for out of taxes of some description.

we are talking about the BBC and other media providers
No. Just the BBC.

Quote:
The others that Sirius mentioned are media providers such as Sky and ITV they are private enterprises and can pay what they like the BBC is not and must pay what is deemed reasonable and must be accountable to the tax payer
And they are. Hence this investigation. We'll see what happens.

Wow! Way to completely miss my point as I have never actually said specifically that.

Quote:
The likes of Sky and Itv do not have the benefit of a yearly tax handout and have to ensure they are profitable or they go bust.
My comparisons are and only ever have been with other public sector services.

So another one who doesn't seem to actually read my posts and links therein
