FLASHBACK - BBC Under Threat - Comedy not the only problem
Guardian: WTO: open public services to market
A government consultation report released last week says the UK faces demands to 'remove all establishment restrictions on hospital and social services, rest, convalescent and old people's homes'.
Other demands include the removal of distinctions between postal and courier services and calls for Britain to end subsidies to broadcasting organisations.
This could have massive implications for the BBC.

But under Gats, commitments are irrevocable. Countries will be locked in, which is incompatible with democracy.'

This would be great, if the money was ours, but Goldman Sach's. et, al. With UNLIMITED access to fiat, will buy up all the assets via favoured hedge funds. We The People will not be given options. We need to get our currency back, or its all over.

Surely autumn 2008 must mark a true low point for Britain. The mismanagement of the economy the government has shown the country to be financially bankrupt and the Ross/Brand affair has shown it to be morally bankrupt
All in all great advertisments for the UK.

If you want to watch Jonathan Ross Show, CH4 or CH5 should be available. BBC's mission (in my own view) is basically proper news coverage and enlightenment, and in this sense must be totally different from the commercial broadcasting operations, though the Corporation's credibility in news reporting is in tatters these days not least since it reported the collapse of WTC7 more than 30 minutes before it actually took place, and that it could not come up with any reasonably convincing explanation, let alone the simultaneous loss/misplacement of the relevant footages in the three archives, despite legal obligation for safekeeping. Anyway BBC must stop wasting TV license fee, and should even reduce it by 70% by scrapping Jonathan Ross and other rubbish.

But notice. The cuts in funding won't be matched by tax cuts. Taxes will rise to fund international Socialism. I hear that crash gordon pledged over 14bn to bail Hungary, Iceland and the other. So, agreed, cut socialism, but, screw Iceland CUT OUR TAXES!

While we're on, maybe we should open all banking services to the market. Big business will make a good job of that.

The Brand incident? Paid kickbacks to fill tabloid pages during dark times. He will holiday, then return, full of apology, with tabloid sympathy and support. Maybe kickback is payment for the coming apologist story about his woe?!

Indeed. If we allow this sort of gross lie to carry on, we won't be able to criticise other liars saying house prices will be soaring forever. In substance the same thing.
