If this kind of thing amuse people buy DVDs of Chubby Brown, or Jim Davidson, or go to their live shows for if you do that you know what your getting. I know that a lot of people on here have a dislike for the Mail, but today Richard Littlejohn puts some valid points across about the BBC and what we should accept from a Broadcasting Corporation which is paid for by the public and a lot of what he has said makes sense to me

What really aggravates me is that the B.B.C. poach 'stars', like Ross, Brand, and Norton, who all achieved success on independent channels, with such massively inflated salaries, that they wouldn't be paid by channels who aren't funded in the way the B.B.C. is.

Why aren't they themselves nurturing new talent, instead of paying vast sums of our money for Ross, Brand et al?
