BBC ‘I Steal’, OfCom ‘Fine’

“The investigations found that in some cases, the production team had taken premeditated decisions to broadcast competitions and encourage listeners to enter in the full knowledge that the audience stood no chance of winning.”

I’m sorry, but the BBC has committed fraud. Why are they not being taken to court? Shouldn’t OfCom ask the BBC for the actual numbers of the people that were ripped off and send them the money that was stolen? instead of bagging it for themselves?

As for the £400k – I find the words ‘RECORD FINE’ funny – its actually not a record fine. It Just means inflation has made the figure bigger. Perhaps they should post the fine in Zimbabwean dollars instead? Now imagine the number of zeroes!
