The link doesn’t confirm your opinions except inside your own head, where you persistently use motivated reasoning to elevate your opinions whilst explaining away those parts of the debate that don’t fit your narrow view.
Clearly, you’re not reading the links properly then.

I am well aware of Ofcom’s view and I know it is one of several options. There are always choices to be made and it’s not Ofcom’s decision, it is the government’s. In the light of existing budgetary constraints, I don’t think the alternatives you prefer will fly.

I totally get it that you have a different view, Chris, as do a number of people on this thread. It’s a mystery to me why you are getting so upset about it. It’s only TV, after all, and we’re not the ones making the decision.

Just chill….

I’m sure many people don’t give a rats, Maggy, because in the scheme of things, it doesn’t matter one way or the other to most people.

I’m interested to see how this all plays out and I’m trying to have a discussion about it. Sadly, discussion on this subject is very emotional for some, although I fail to see why.
