The Protect the BBC Society
Shout “Hurrah for Auntie!!”
Bells and Whistles
This is not a bells and whistles website and to get the best out of it you will need to do some reading and look at some links. Please do make the effort and then do what you can to protect the
BBC from the politically motivated interference that will destroy it.
A Genuine Concern
The reason I have sent up this webite is because I have a real and genuine concern that the Conservatives are out to destroy or at least emasculate the BBC. They do not like the independence of
the BBC and they do not like being held to account by it. Their friends in the commercial media want rid of it.
The Conservative Government's Reviews
The Conservative government's reviews into the BBC's charter and the licence fee are always biased against the BBC. I wonder why? The former chairman appointed by the government John
Whittingdale has declared the BBC licence fee is worse than the poll tax. He was PM Maggie Thatcher's politcal secretary when the poll tax was imposed and I cannot see he spoke
out against it at the time. Then he went onto become an MP. Strange that!
WORK IN PROGRESS
This website should be seen as a work in progress and as it developes bits will be added and bits will be revised. I am setting up a Twitter account so as to be able to send out information and
notices of changes. Details to follow.
IMAGINE
For a moment or two imagine there is no BBC. Imagine there is just commercial television and radio with all the interruptions and the advertisements. Imagine no BBC news or investigations.
