Shadow Culture Secretary Johnathon Hunt said today it was a matter of when, not if, the BBC Trust would be abolished and that he was also considering tearing up its royal charter. His reasons? because the BBC is "Out of touch" and and wants to crush media competition.
James (as in Rupert) Murdoch recently attacked the BBC demanding exactly that. Then the Murdochs changed allegiance from Labour to Tory, and hey presto, their innocent hopes and dreams became reality.
Move along now. No link there, nothing to see. Not attempt to destroy impartial BBC news reporting for personal and coprorate gain.
