In most companies it's standard policy to have some conditions on which
someone can have a party: whether it's celebrating XX years with the
company, or a goodbye party.

Apart from that you're free to organize something with your mates: have
a booze up or go out for a bite, whatever.

I don't see why the BBC should be different in that respect. Or rather I
do see: they're funded with the license payer's money, that's why.

And it's not exactly that we're talking about underpaid, malnourished
and mistreated workers, is it?

And why would I not be allowed to be concerned about license payers' money?

Apart from that: the money is supposed to be spent on TV programs, so if
those programs suffer from misspending, I as a viewer suffer from that
as well.

A lot, if not everything. They can pay for their own fun.

I'll be bothered about domestic issues when I see fit. I do not do so now.

I have my subscription to the Private Eye for that.
