    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Otherwise the rest of my time is my own and I am free to have lavish expense-account lunches and shag young, impressionable female researchers. If we were to allow people to watch our programmes for free there is a very real danger that I would have to find a proper job on a real-world dalary.

    The fact is that freeloading only works for the few, not the many. If we were to allow everyone to freeload the gravy train would hit the buffers pretty sharpish.'

    When I put it to James that the BBC's output is so poor that it is, in effect, valuless, he had this to say :

    'Macca, the purpose of the BBC is not to produce programmes. The BBC exists to provide cushy high salary sinecures for people like me. Whilst we do produce the occasional new show amidst the general mass of repeats and biased news coverage, they are mostly cut and paste ideas pinched from other networks or simply cribbed from stuff we made years ago. We just use different actors and update any topical references. No-one seems to notice. In any case I am not involved in actually making television and in fact I don 't know anyone at the BBC who is. I imagine there might be a couple of chaps down in the basement who do that sort of thing but I really don't know.'
    seriously Martin, have you considered writing for a living?

    How the BBC will enforce this I've no idea, granted they could restrict access to BBC apps and services but as mentioned there are countless ways in today's techy world to watch whatever one chooses without going through the normal methods...
    I can watch a movie that is still showing in the cinema without having to look over my shoulder for the piracy police and all the money Hollywood tries to throw at stopping people doing so mostly goes to salaries and bogus organisations, think the same will happen here with money going to top brass or the feet on the ground knocking at people's doors

    Maybe labour should add this to their manifesto... Bound to be worth a pile of votes. Make them advertise or whatever, and live by what they provide instead of this carte blanche attitude currently, which allows them to make trash
