"While most BBC services are funded from the licensing fees charged to U.K. television and radio owners, the World Service is different: Its annual budget of nearly $370 million comes from a direct government grant funneled through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to whom it is indirectly responsible. In theory, every significant aspect of broadcasting by the World Service must be justified in its annual report in terms of its "Benefit to Britain." "
The BBC and its WS are British.

I certainly am aware of that. We have many Brits on the forum and I was addressing them. (I would hope that would be obvious)
