oh, and another thing..

Apparently Offcom has fined the BBC £150000 over "Sachsgate". What I can't understand is why the Beeb as a whole have been fined, considering they are run on public money, and why the individuals involved did not receive the fine. Because money being taken from the BBC pot in this way basically means less money to do the things they are meant to be doing, like making programmes or delivering the news and so ultimately the fine is being paid by us the public and not by the individuals concerned who actually messed up in the first place, whatever role they happen to be in.

It is like when people sue the NHS for negligence or malpractice when in the majority of cases the grievance is against an individual doctor or nurse, not the organisation as a whole.
