The BBC website is a fantastic (and balanced) resource IMO, and covers just about every conceivable hard news topic. But, it has become fantastically large, and I can see plenty of justification for trimming it down a bit.

As long as they still produce shows like Top Gear and various nature shows that Attenborough is involved with I have no problem with these cutbacks.
