The BBC spent in excess of £200.000 of British peoples licence fee money to block the Balen report, because they did not want the British people who pay their wages, to know that they were paying for a shower of left wing bias to spew anti-Israeli anti American propaganda. It should be pointed out that it is a criminal offence to in the UK to own or operate a TV or any terrestrial receiving equipment (including computers) without a TV licence and carries fines of up to £2000, despite the fact that the commercial channels pay for themselves via advertising revenue, the licence fee is entirely for the BBC. currently the fees are £142.50 per year.
