Nothing but a stupid tax

Thanks to my fancy dan BBC News Alert email service, just got an email confirming that the BBC is to suspend all phone and interactive competitions after further serious editorial breaches are found. Having never entered one of these phone contests I feel quite smug.

This of course follows the Big Brother furore which means that at the end of each show you now get a five minute spiel about the money goes to charity and if you have a complaint go here and blah blah blah. And the ITV problems.

Imagine that: corporations trying to squeeze every pound out of you by whatever means necessary. There's a surprise.
