One out, all out
May. 23rd, 2005 07:07 pmIn solidarity with the striking BBC workers I'm not listening to the radio this evening, so instead, I've been reading the Guardian wherein I found the following in a leader article:
This is a charge to which the BBC too often opens itself by its bad spending priorities. A current case: the BBC has recently spent a cool £1m of licence-payers' money on new weather forecast graphics that add little or nothing to the quality of service, yet the present job cuts will leave the world's most respected news corporation with just one journalist covering all of Germany, the most important country in Europe. Surely this is madness.
Ouch.
