When the next American presidential elections are on the horizon, in about 2011, God forbid, will the BBC make it compulsory for we British to vote for one side or the other in order for us to keep our TV/radio licences?

Since the last year we have been bombarded by nothing else than American election claptrap, morning, noon and night.

The main offenders among many are John Humphrys, Sarah Montague and James Naughtie, who seemingly never themselves get bored with this repetitive American, electoral bilge.

Thanks to them my off switch is still smoking.
