Channel 4 is being sold by the government. So why would that be? It is state-owned so you could argue that it costs the taxpayer money. The problem with that argument is it doesn’t cost the taxpayer a penny. It is independently financed with over 90% of its resources coming from advertising.
Why Sell it Off?
So why would the government want to sell it? Well, one of

I find understanding anything beyond basic finance a bit of a struggle. I do know how to stay in the black and out of the red (do the opposite to Bullseye is my theory) and how to make basic profit margins in my business. Beyond that, I get a bit bored, if I am honest.

I finally got to enjoy my 2019 Christmas present last night.
It was a comedy gig by Henning Wehn at the Hackney Empire, a wonderful venue.
We got into London relatively early but soon discovered Hackney is a bit out on
