But Graham, the gov did win, and re-organise the BBC.

Nope.


They fired the 'bad guy' don't you remember? See :-) the brain media spray worked :-)

Read up a bit on BBC here:

<quote>
The BBC is a quasi-autonomous Public Corporation operating as a public
service broadcaster incorporated under a Royal Charter reviewed on a 10
yearly basis. Until 2007 The Corporation was run by a board of governors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
appointed by The Queen or King on the advice of the government for a term
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
of four years but on 1 January 2007 the Board of Governors was replaced
with the BBC Trust. The BBC is required by its charter to be free from both
political and commercial influence and to answer only to its viewers and
listeners.[3]
<end quote>

The Government didn't fire anyone at the BBC. They don't have the authority.
They just simply remade the thing this year :-)

Have a close look at who is in the BBC trust, click on all the names.
You will see the political support appear as usual.
No other way would you get in there.

Graham

Poor Graham ;-)
