Up until now I usually defend the BBC to some extent whenever somebody is ranting about the licence fee or whatever.

This time they have gone too far. They are going to scrap the erly morning UK Theme on Radio 4. Have they no shame.

Do they still play the national anthem on the birthday of our monarch?

Replacing it with 5 minutes of soundbytes that put across absolutely nothing but biased or not fully documented news stories to mislead listeners.

Great

Clearly people like it so why bloody change it. Labourism seems to have slipped into the BBC. Change things even if they don't need fixing because you think you know better!

Arghhh

New programme controller isn't he?

Desperate to "make an impact" but short of decent ideas so goes for "controversial" instead.

Fool.
