Re: BBC from the days of Yes Minister and Spitting Image - yes
The BBC of today wouldn't say boo to a goose. It's even too scared to hold the government to account for having no plans for the greatest economic and social change in decades.
That's because the government of the day -- of whatever flavour -- keeps threatening to defund it.
You have the choice of a public broadcaster which only occasionally dares speak truth to power, or a commercialised provider which will head even further downmarket in the chase for profit and sooner or later fall into the hands of a Murdoch or a Desmond, becoming little more than a mouthpiece for a billionaire.
