AND SO the first tentative shots are being fired, led by our intrepid Editor, who despite incessant criticism of the BBC claims a deep love for the Organisation.

Now Mr K D Legg, remaining in the shelter of Mr Murray, comes out to ram his ideas home.

I suspect that he is a closet Conservative from his views, and like that Party uses untruths as the truth.

Lets review his comments...”they have lost most of the best sports programmes, and if you don’t like cooking programmes, there is no other choice”.

A quick look through the BBC programmes this week. Saturday, no cooking. Sunday, no cooking, Monday, no cooking, oh wait a minute Channel 4.

Tuesday, no cooking. Channel 4 Come Dine With Me.

Wednesday, No cooking, again Channel 4.

Thursday, Oh my goodness, Celebrity Master Chef and again Channel 4.

Friday, Celebrity Master Chef. Already I feel a fool, three hours in seven days, that is far too much.

Why don’t protesters say that they do not want to pay the Licence Fee.

Do they mind paying paying for Sky Sports and add ons?

Will Mr Legg tell us how much he pays, if he has it, of course? And then his comment that only people who were against the review were spoken to.

Was he part of the investigative team to have such inside knowledge?
