BBC Scandals

The Jim'll Fix It show was a great put off as far as I was concerned. I could never understand the adulation with which it seems he and his show were greeted. To me it exploited the stories of not only the unfortunate but also the naive and having seen it once I never watched it again. I do recall though being told when the country was going through one of its paedophile scandals some years ago that Jimmy Savile was guilty of child abuse, that the police knew about it but decided not to do anything because of the help and pleasure his show brought to millions. At the time I was sceptical and thought what I had been told was tittle tattle and likely untrue. I do not know whether the police were involved in the cover up of Savile's crimes but it is now certain the BBC protected Savile from his just deserts. Any private organisation that has behaved like the BBC has done would be the subject of a police investigation to find those who authorised the cover up or rather perverted the course of justice and aided and abetted a criminal to carry out his crimes. I will fall off my chair if the BBC and its responsible executives are charged with anything or suffer any other consequence for their actions. It just goes to show that the BBC is above the law that the rest of us, including private companies, have to abide by. This is why the BBC can continue its bias against the Tories, the Republicans and even the natives of this land contrary to its statutory duty to be impartial. This is why it can continue its bias in favour of the climate change scam, the EU, immigration and the Labour Party. The BBC just carries on its dishonest way with impunity and will do so until it is wound up. Patten's inquiry will be a damp squib and the BBC will get away with it once again. I accept it is not possible for each of us to be impartial all of the time. In order to achieve any kind of impartiality it seems obvious therefore that a plurality of providers is required. Thus the BBC should be replaced by private companies which like the newspapers can follow their own political star and we the public can choose which particular flavour suits us best. The solution is simple but will any politician dare administer the medicine? Probably not but at least the BBC with 60% of the market could and should be cut down to less than a 50% share thus giving space in which Sky and/or other providers can grow. The obligation for providers to be impartial should be abandoned as should the iniquitous licence fee.
