A side matter, but handing the BBC's governance over to Ofcom? They haven't held the Independent Television programme contractors to their remits since 2001 under the threat of any sanction - or, for that matter, put their contracts up to tender (not that it worked or ever will work if we want a One Nation Tory-style public broadcasting system again - and not that I remain suspicious of their inconsistent singling out of Thames Television) since 1993.
The BBC Trust, at the very least, has an image to mantain.
- arethuza 13y agoI did a quick check to see how Wikipedia defined a "One Nation Tory" - after all they have been pretty thin on the ground this last 30 years (especially here in Scotland!). I'm somewhat amused to see that "One nation conservatism" appears to now be the policy of the Labour Party: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-nation_conservatism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-nation_conservatism
