Everybody’s talking about… George Osborne v the BBC
UK Chancellor George Osborne has announced plans to hit up the BBC in a bid to settle the country’s benefits bill.
Reuters reports that the BBC will be tasked with covering the cost of providing free TV licences to the over-75s. The corporation will be able to charge for the use of its iPlayer and similar services. However, according to The Times there will still be a £500m loss for the BBC.
