Etc etc etc...
Schools and roads I'd say were far more essential than an ageing broadcasting company who do nothing but bleat about a lack of funds (a chap who interviewed me for a job at the BBC even managed it). I'd say we owe some kind of social responsibility for education and transport, I certainly can't say the same about the BBC.
