F1 going to Sky

[Malbec]

We were warned about the Tory future for the BBC:

TORIES WILL EXTERMINATE BBC IF THEY GET ELECTED - mirror.co.uk


BBC NEWS | UK | Tories could 'rip up' BBC charter


Tories would constrain BBC to 'core broadcasting' - TV & Radio, Media - The Independent

As with the NHS the Tories would far prefer not to have a publicly funded broadcaster at all.

I don't have high hopes of the BBC retaining F1 for very long, certainly not until 2018 or whenever it is this new deal runs, and expect more programming to disappear in the coming years.

Come on... Please don't try to argue that Labour were any different, and lets not forget Labour's attempts to emasculate the political independence of the BBC with the 45 minute WMD affair.

Both political parties have attacked the funding of the BBC when they're in power because taxpayers want more for less as usual and bashing the BBC on spending is a populist move.
