going for the easy target... again...

The willingness of people to attack the BBC for this still disturbs me greatly. I have to wonder how many of these has complained about speeding tickets because they were only doing 33mph and 'he was doing at least 40'.

It's the same thing. Yes, there's a question over the legality of what they did, yes it could be picked up and chased through to the BBC being fined (who'll be paying for that? Us. Of course). But it comes down to the simple fact that attacking the big "easy to find" corporation is a lot easier than doing some genuine detective work and dealing with the real problem. If all these people spent HALF their efforts upturning the genuine criminals the world would be a better place.

I'm so sick of this modern world where the lynch mob can't even be arsed to leave their front room let alone get their torches and pitchforks...
