Politics vs BBC

I've been spending most of my time today reading about BBC cuts. As with any license fee payer I want to get the most out of my BBC license fee. In the majority of cases I think I do. Like everyone there is a program that I'm not a fan of (total wipeout & hole in the wall) that just aren't must see TV for me but I can see the majority of people enjoying them.

What annoys me is the politics that are trying to kill what is clearly one of the best broadcasters in the world.

For example here are just a few:

BBC cuts 6 Music & Asian - well Tories are saying they should be cut back.
BBC Trust delaying Project Canvas review - Well the government put them there because BBC didn't do them.
BBC Worldwide could be sold the government to cover banking debt - rubbish BBC worldwide is corporate arm that keeps our license fee low and its not owned by the government.
BBC Three should be cut - Written by a Tory backed review, oh hang on if you cut that what is the alternative for over 12 year olds (age cbbc ends programs for, again due to government pressure) till you reach an age appropriate for watching other shows, oh well suppose its teenage sex and drinking again.

Notice a Pattern.
Do you see the problem if your big and successful like the BBC you should be cut back. I'm not implying the BBC is perfect it is just competitive in the broadcast industry. But political groups pull your heads out of your arse's and come into the real world. Your cutting things or forcing things in place that stunt this countries growth and more importantly the industries the BBC is part of. Want proof lets how about this.

BBC cuts 6 Music & Asian - Brings new music to people increasing record companies profits and supplying audience to a £3billion entertainment economy in UK. Also covers equality and anti racism by supplying a cultural knowledge to a large part of our UK residents, hang on isn't that a government policy to tackle racism and prejudice in the UK.

BBC Trust delaying Project Canvas review - why, it could be creating the UK version of Google. Again a government policy to bring technical innovation and a UK version of silicone valley to the UK.

BBC Worldwide could be sold the government to cover banking debt - Why, we didn't look after the banks that was the governments job. And if you do sell BBC worldwide does that mean you could sell my house, cause you don't own that either, also my license fee will treble to cover the cost. I get we need to make back the debt but isn't innovation and proper financing the way to go. Last time politicians sold things we ended up with major job losses oh and a poorer public transport system than in the first place.

BBC Three should be cut - it's aimed at the young, your not it, it aims to create innovation and new program forms by experimenting. Again political promises of innovation and opportunities for the young If you cut their TV channels no wounder they won't vote.

So to all politicians and to everyone who wants to attack the BBC. Get a life do something positive to improve the UK, not destroy it.
