Hacker News Reader

Although in ~40 years' retrospect, especially in discussions on Hacker News and elsewhere of modern IT education where you'll find people reminiscing on how they learned computing when they were young, it turns out to have been very much in line with a goal of promoting and supporting learning. I don't know what the Charter said about that goal back in the 1980s. It would be interesting to read what the BBC's Royal Charter said over time.

Conversely, another ~40 years into the past takes us back to the time when there was a BBC Empire Service. So there's more than one contrast to be had as one looks through history.

The government today is ideologically and politically opposed to the existence of the BBC, go figure. I don't think Thatcher was exactly a fan back in the 80s but equally they had more pressing matters to attend to

Jam and Kangeroo were during Labour
