Every time the BBC’s charter has been renewed over almost 100 years (each charter lasting around 10-15 years) its remit has been reviewed and revised.

I get that your opinion is that public service broadcasting - most especially as performed by the BBC - is an old fashioned idea, but it is an idea that has been thoroughly reviewed and renewed eight times since the first one was issued in 1927. So yours is not an opinion that has any significant traction among the experts whose job it is to investigate these things, even though I have no doubt they receive submissions similar to your opinion on each occasion.



Slightly smaller number, hmm? What is this number? And what is your source?
As I said, old fashioned. There comes a point when sticking plaster is just not going to work any more.

As for my source...nobody who disagrees with my point of view ever provides a source to back up their views, so why should I? I've provided a link to many of my arguments over time but the same guys just carry on ignoring them and protesting the opposite.

Strange, that.
