? however, my only comment would be that if there is this amount of
money floating around (which clearly there is) why don’t we get the
Community Radio sector sorted out first, before we start buggering around with
TV …………………………. If it
ends up anything like the stations they’ve got in <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> ! my
suggestion is can it now ? what a load of codswallop !<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

radio doesn’t get a slice of the cake, the BBC and the government can
stick my licence fee where the sun doesn’t shine …. I’m not
giving them £150 pounds a year to spend on this nonsense, I’d rather give
it to a community station who are still trying to raise money for a licence. I’d
love to stand in front of a man with a silly whig, if only just to say my
peace/piece (which one?) I maybe wouldn’t get
anywhere and have to pay £45 costs, but I’d feel a damn site better and
it would possibly be the best £45 quid I’d ever spent ?!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
