A Real Eye-Opener
The BBC is considering to request that over-75s volunteer to pay for their TV licences to 'preserve the viability of the corporation'. It is interesting to see the published salaries of current staff

You wouldn't stand for free shopping for pensioners, being paid for from a levy put on your shopping basket. That is ineffect what is happening here. Your license fee is subsidising someone elses free viewing, and you were never consulted.

Both management of large corporations and anyone who makes it in entertainment are on a gravy train. And management of the BBC is both. This is no surprise surely ? It is the norm for the market and a consequence of lack of limits to a capitalist system. Public can be (willingly ?) fleeced and the few gain riches beyond their dreams simply because they can.

Back to the thread. I'm not sure you can blame the capitalist system for this one, og. It's very unlikely that the Marxist hive members at the BBC would be any use to or of any worth to any business in the real world. (Outside of charidee, of course, which is stuffed to the gills with similar champagne socialists)
