Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

> BBC sacks 2,500 skilled staff

And 2 *billion* quid short!

What a bloody disgrace.

How the *Hell* did the Beeb ever get into that sorry state?

Is it any coincidence that the downward spiral only really started after

that Microsoft are bad news? Like a plague of locusts.
