(i). the existence of a state broadcaster is offensive in
concept and inimical to a plural society;
(ii). the BBC’s public mission is patronising and
condescending in a society characterised by information multiplicity and in which
people are overwhelmingly literate, educated, and informed;
(iii). the BBC manifestly cannot fulfil its public mission
anyway;
(iv). the BBC is a subversive organisation that openly and
without embarrassment attacks the white British, is undermining the country, and provides a base for the Left's cultural struggle;
(v). the BBC is an archaic monolith, established as a fairly modest institution during the 1920s, then greatly expanded during the Second World War as a propaganda arm of the state, and now modelled on post-War era
institutions that would be more at home in the old East Germany or the former
Soviet Union;
(vi). the BBC is unresponsive to, and does not reflect, its
putative market; and,
(vii). the BBC is too large and dominant and its existence
undermines media plurality and stifles enterprise.
These problems are institutional, cultural and inimitable to
the BBC and cannot be cured by reform, such as ending the TV licence. In fact, reform will make matters worse, as
it has done every single time in the past when the BBC promised to reform
itself.
