It's not separate from the state. When push comes to shove the establishment tell the BBC what to do.

We've seen this in the 2011 riots. We've seen this in the 2008 banking crisis and subsequent massive wealth transfers. Now we see it with state surveillance.

The BBC is on your side until it matters. I don't care what their charter says, I look at what they do.

The UK is preparing. As living standards continue to fall state surveillance will become more and more necessary to try and suppress alternate views. How long before posting a blog on the UK's intractable deficit and massive private debt is "financial terrorism"?
