The British Buggery Corporation (BBC)

 It has long been my view that the BBC is the outlet of the British  establishment, with it's grovelling sycophantic treatment of our hugely dysfunctional royal family and failure to criticise or challenge  aspects of government policy, such as it's recent reticence to denounce Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
 But, it would appear that like the British establishment, it to is rotten and corrupt at its core. Recent cases of paedophilia have largely involved BBC entertainers and many of the offences have been committed on BBC premises. There are also huge question marks over the excessive salaries that it pays it's senior executives and media darlings (Wogan, Clarkson, Forsyth and Evans come to mind). Most of its output supports right wing views and it's stars are not known for any left of centre leanings and many have been involved in tax avoidance schemes.
  And yet it fails dismally to provide the pluralistic view of the millions of viewers who pay the licence fee. Indeed in recent years it has lapsed back into promoting the Oxbrige set as the core of its programme makers and presenters and it's sad attempts at political correctness has imposed on us a mediocre and lack lustre brood of female presenters. The institution needs root and branch transformation to represent the pluralistic society that we live in and a complete review of its expenditure and an opt out of the licence fee for those who do not watch its flacid pro-establishment propaganda.
