Baroness Stowell, Chair of the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee, said: “Decisions about funding mechanisms have to be led by a clear articulation of what the country wants from its national broadcaster, and how it will change for that to be delivered. The BBC needs to be more open and front-footed in setting that out, or else face change being imposed upon it.”

And there it is. The classic Tory playbook: intentionally underfund, declare unsustainable, and open up for private interests; in this case, likely advertising and other types of product placement.

Nothing is sacred to these malicious pricks.
