CONNIVING WITH GORDON
>> SATURDAY, JULY 04, 2009
What do you make of the BBC’s director general concession that the licence fee could be scrapped and replaced with funding via council or income taxes – or even a levy on electricity bills?
Mark Thompson’s comments have been taken as an admission-that the growing use of new technology to watch programmes will make the licence fee obsolete.
Rubbish. It's not new technology that invalidates the license tax- it is the very concept of forcing us to fund a biased and insidious State broadcaster. And as for the notion of transferring this cost to an income tax or council tax - NO WAY. Thoughts?

Brown's Broadcasting Channel
Tip of the 'fillet 'o fish' to
Gigits for spotting this one.
You must go and visit the relevant BBC web pageand watch the video. It is astonishing.
Do the BBC think we are stupid? They just happened to have a camera crew in the studio whilst the one-eyed moron was being interviewed. The crew then followed him 'around the corner' to the very convenient premises where there was a perfectly choreographed and amiable chat between Brown and the fish seller.
I may be cynical, but this must've been a set-up, mostly because Brown doesn't actually make a complete arse of himself, for a change, and everybody was way too pleasant to him.
Pravda are so far up the Gorgon's backside that only their feet are visible.
The BBC.
