So, the employees of the BBC are going on strike, so what, the only losers will be themselves in their pay packet, viewers and listeners have all the alternative stations that they need.

The BBC is top heavy with waste, cut it out and reduce the cost of the licence. We don't need very expensive employees to sit and chat with those that only turn up to promote their latest book or film, we don't need programmes on cooking, gardening, DIY, quizzes or dancing, there are plenty of other places to find those.

My digital television channel guide tells me that there are 15 BBC television channels and 14 radio channels! Why?

It's the BBC, the first word is British, for the people in Britain, why special programmes for those living in Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, we are all British, our first language is English. Can anybody explain why there is a BBC Asian Network? or a World Service?

How about just two television channels, that will give them 48 hours to fill with fair and honest reporting on events that concern the British, give us programmes that other channels will not show due to their requirements of audience size and advertising.

Four radio stations are enough, Modern Music, Popular/easy listening music,Currant Affairs/Talk/News and Comedy, and Classical Music and drama.

I'm sorry BBC employees, you made hay while the sun shone for you, we have all read of the extravagant travel costs, taxi usage, personal expenses etc of the staff employed by the BBC, nothing lasts for ever, get on with your jobs, say good-bye to those that have to go, because quite frankly, I don't care.
