- The NAO has already censured the BBC over the £2billion it has spent on three costly building projects, including its £1billion London headquarters, which was delayed by four years and went £107million over budget
- Broadcast house now costs £89million to run 'every year'
- The BBC has written off nearly £100m on a digital media initiative technology project, so badly mismanaged that director general Tony Hall decided to scrap it in three years
- In 2007 BBC Worlwide bought the travel publisher Lonely Planet in a deal worth £130million. However, it failed to make it a success and sold it off at an £80milliom loss just six years later
- MP's have also slammed the BBC for paying off staff to the tune of £369million in recent times
And the examples go on and on..........
This is what happens when you're effectively given money instead of earning it. No one cares about being accountable, after all why bother we'll get more next year!

The feedback I keep getting is that people are exhausted by these mandatory fees during such a difficult financial time. I am spending my afternoons digging through their financial reports to find where else the money is disappearing. It is exhausting work but I am not walking away from this fight.

The decision to scrap free licences for the over 75s is another example of BBC greed, they are totally out of touch with the people who provide the money they squander
People shoulld be able to opt out of using BBC services. With the introduction of smart tv technology, BBC could be scrambled unless you want to opt in for a show or televised event.
big cats paid too much
It is disgusting to expect pensioners to pay for food and heating
Out of date BBC has to fund it self pay to view or Adds
Time to scrap Tv licenses altogether
This is a outdated thing now it needs to go,other countries manage without it let the BBC advertise like everyone else maybe then they can show some decent programs.It's one channel we never watch because of the rubbish that's on there.

The BBC is extravagant and politically biased and pays silly amounts of money to minor celebrities such as the guests on Mock The Week, Pointless and That Was The Week That Was. Obscene amounts are spent on vanity projects such as Glastonbury and overpaid football pundits and sports commentors (not commentators) are an irrelevance and are not needed. There seems no control over BBC spending by the management and 100+ backroom staff earning over £100,000 is unacceptable.
