Brussels 'will kill off online BBC'
We write about this about a year ago, I think - the EU is concerned that the BBC is receiving too much state aid and is in unfair competition with commercial providers in the online space, and so may curtail its activites. What a disaster that will be. Why an independent voice is not allowed to use the internet as a broadcast mediaum as much as using t.v. I have no idea. It is a very regressive, opressive and retrograde step, and I hope that all people, British and EU citizens alike, fight it all the way. I only hope that the UK government supports the BBC too.
