it seems utterly wrong and immoral for a publicly funded and chartered organisation like the BBC should be allowed to accept money in any form, no matter how it is dressed up, from outside organisations such as the EU! Naturally they are not going to say ought to offend their paymasters? Having said that, their main paymasters and paymistresses, Joe and Jane public they oft offend and care little for their opinions anyway knowing they are pretty much untouchable!
