We're obviously veering well off topic, but our government should, through the democratic process, generally reflect the will of the people. In general I think we're a tolerant, accepting nation who welcomes people who want to come and live here, work hard and contribute. And since we've routinely voted in governments who have allowed this to happen, and we don't generally live amidst racial and community tension (although of course it does exist) I think I'm right in thinking that, regardless of naive that might sound.

I think that they could pay for this by sending fewer people to cover major world events, where the number of BBC staff embarrassingly outnumber all the other broadcasters.
The BBC needs to have a sense of proportion and fund the things that matter. More regional and local programming would be very popular indeed.

How does that chime with what appears to be the general view of local tv?
