Appreciate that this will be filed by most of you under "silly old fart..."
This is what people told Thatcher when she sold off the airwaves, and granted rights to satellite TV - that, to paraphrase Pink Floyd, "I've got a hundred channels of shit on the TV to choose from." Competition, she said, would improve the choice for the customer. That proved to be pants, as she was warned.
Now, Cameron has his sights on the BBC, where he wants to slash the license fee, or give some of it away to Channel 4 and 5. If they get back to power, expect Top Gear to be one of the first programmes to hit the buffers. TG is expensive and elitist, whereas EastEnders is cheap and populist.
Whatever you do, get out and vote at the next election, and if you want TG, don't vote Tory. Other than that, it doesn't matter. I might not like the programme any more, but I defend the right of others to watch it, and my right to pay for that. After all, has your Sky subscription provided anything even vaguely as good produced here at home for your entertainment? You have been warned...
