And how comes you live in the middle of a road?“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Non-biased reporting would be my first suggestion.
My second suggestion would involve them paying for the advice.

The licence fee is part of a contract or covenant with us. We fund the Beeb so that it does not have to go down the commercial route for its programming.
I know it is a complex issue and there are business reasons etc.
By buying in these Ltd companies services they are breaking that contract. They are using our money to line the pockets of outside commercial interests. They have been doing this for years with certain shows. Top Gear is owned and produced by Clarksons company I think. There are others. The Beeb pays for these to be produced, but the other business gets the commercial rights.
It is about time the Beeb and the licence fee were realigned with the purpose for which it exists.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

The same applies to Clarkson, Paxman, Ross, et al: they are good at what they do, but not irreplaceable. On commercial TV a "star" may be rewarded for bringing in viewers, but on "our" BBC an employee should be paid for the job, not the star quality.Step outside posh boyComment
