'There is now a Versailles mentality among the BBC aristocracy. On being told in their plush parlours that we peasants are being starved of decent broadcasting, the response is less 'let them eat cake' as 'let them watch cack'. But we peasants are revolting. I'm sure BBC execs would smirk in ironic agreement at that observation, but they would do well to mark that the public mood has turned ugly towards those who line their pockets at our expense.There has been an assumption among the political and banking classes that all this will blow over and that they will return to business as normal, as they see it; that's why parliamentary reform has been dilatory and the shameless 'bonuses are back' slogan is heard in banks, even after their semi-nationalisation.The third pillar of our public-sector greed culture is the BBC. The signs are that the public stick will eventually discipline Parliament and the City into behaving in a better manner than sponging off the state, which means us. So it must and will be for the BBC.'
