³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ in the news, Friday
Daily Telegraph: Reports that Greg Dyke asked for his job back a week after resigning as ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ director-general. ()
The Times: "Last-minute lobbying by the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ has failed to convince the government of the case for a more generous licence fee settlement." ()

Of course, we can always rely on 'The Times' for a completely fair, balanced and impartial view of discussions on the future of the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Licence Fee...[surely, Telly-Tax? Rupert]
The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ is easy pray for Government belt tightening because of the compulsory nature of the Fee. HMG are the protector of the public purse and the champions of public broadcasting at one and the same time.
I find it amazing that even today the Hutton Enquiry seems to be a taboo subject. The way the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ were treated by the Government was an absolute disgrace especially after the claims made by the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ at the time that resulted in the Hutton Enquiry were proven to be true! History has vindicated Andrew Gilligan and Greg Dyke and the dossier that was used to promote the war in Iraq has been proven to have been massaged towards that event. The Government demanded an apology from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ and the sacking of scapegoats, but where's the apology for the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ for the disgraceful treatment received at the hands of this Government?
