Well, if I have to spell it out in words that anyone can understand.

To my mind the BBC is the greatest English-Language force for good that there is. In some respects it could be said that the UK doesn't need a foreign policy if it has the BBC.

The BBC is our first line of defence: it presents us to the outside world, and its presence in all areas of the market should not be subject to commercial considerations any more than our armed forces should be.

It is the communication medium which we use to talk to the Linguistic Commonwealth of English-speaking peoples of all nations.

And just to really piss the ideological freebooting end of the Tory party right off: it is, because of all these things, beloved of HM, and further, is beloved of the British people. Strange, how the dip in the Tories popularity has coincided with all this, isn't it? It would be a shame if Dave had his 'Poll Tax' moment forced upon him by his laissez faire colleagues before he even took office.
