Via Blithering Bunny:

What’s more, it was reported that during the recent Dyke era, 1000 people were employed just to run the BBC web site. And this presumably doesn’t include the many journalists and editors who are already paid to collect news and write and edit stories for BBC TV and radio, and the programme-makers who make the TV and radio programmes which some of the BBC’s web pages are concerned with. 1000 people were apparently required just to put these news stories and programme links on the internet, as well as adding extra anti-Bush news stories of their own.

In related numbers, total employees at Google: 1,900. Value of Google, $54 billion.
Two thoughts occur:
1),The BBC website is worth $30 billion or so in which case we can sell it and they can have the income from that money to make TV and Radio programmes and get rid of the licence fee.
2) The BBC website is not worth $30 billion and they are therefore less efficient than a private sector firm. In which case we should sell it and allow them to become a private firm, become more efficient and thus lose the licence fee.
