10 Membranes

Via Mssv. A fascinating breakdown of the BBC’s budget. What annoys me about the cuts are a) it is in response to an as yet non-existent Tory administration slavishly creating their media policy according to the whims and dictates of the long time BBC haters, the Murdochs and b) the BBC is one of the only world class institutions Britain has left, and we (well, the Tories) want to cut it down. We need to preserve what cultural, industrial and creative power we have left and the BBC is central to at least two of those.
