>I pay money to you to develop a TV program, you sell that TV program to Netflix and make money, and then you tax me purchasing the product. So instead of being content with fleecing me once, you want to fleece me three times...er, no. And the idea of funding yourself by taxing your competition is utterly repellent.

No, that's not what I suggested, as I was advocating replacing the TV license, not running it in parallel as you portray, so no, just no.

>I am not unfamiliar with the BBC, most of my knowledge about Kangaroo came from someone I knew who was on the Trust, but it is just a totally broken institution. I have never managed to work out if the hiring policy just finds bad people or something happens to people they hire after they start working there but it is just horribly broken.

You seem to confuse your experience with `management` and project that upon all staff and without qualifying what you class as `bad` and yet happily postulate that as record, most odd.




Haha, you really don't get this. I have already paid the licence fee, you have already the developed the program...you are just charging me a third time for it.

The BBC Trust isn't (wasn't) "management".

I class as bad almost everything you have said. It is self-evident. Fundamentally, I disagree with people being ripped off.
