The BBC have known for years that the funds raised from the licence fee were never going to match their expenditure given the amount of money they waste paying absolutely massive and unnecessary salaries.

The BBC have not learned the lessons of the past whereby we all have to live within our means. Instead they waste losts of money and expect ordinary people with limited means to pick up the tab.

We need to sack Tony Hall and members of the BBC Trust and put in place people from the National Audit Office who are brilliant at identifying money wasted by the government and could do the same at the BBC.

If the BBC decide to go over to a subscription system what will happen to Sky & Virgin customers? Will the BBC charge Sky & Virgin more for BBC channels? It may well be that rather than subscribe directly to the BBC, customers may simply stick with Sky and Virgin on the assumption it will be cheaper.

It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
