Memo to George

George

Rumour has it that in order to try and balance the books you are going to increase taxes and are also looking to get rid of some quangoes. Here is a plan to make some quick money, cut a major quango down to size and actually get rid of a tax (which you could always replace with another one).

Privatise the BBC. TV channels, national radio channels and a whole bunch of local radio stations; just sell them to the highest bidder. The new owners will have to introduce advertising, subscription or something more inventive to make them pay. On the other hand nobody will have to pay for thier TV Licence anymore and a greatful public will forgive you for the increase in VAT (or whatever).

It really is that simple.
