Whilst other right-wing think-tanks like the [[Institute of Economic Affairs]] and the [[Adam Smith Institute]] heavily criticised the [[BBC]] since the beginning of the Thatcher era, the Social Affairs Unit does not appear to have shown much interest in broadcasting until relatively recently. In 2005 it published a 219 page polemic ''Scrap the BBC!: Ten Years to Set Broadcasters Free''.

''Scrap the BBC!'' was written by the right-wing commentator [[Richard North]], SAU’s arts reviewer who was also a media fellow at the [[Institute of Economic Affairs]]. <ref>[[PDF Copy]] of <http://richarddnorth.com/archive/about/RDN_cv_long.asp> created 14 January 2009</ref> It featured on its covered a tomb stone with an epitaph reading, ‘STATE BROADCASTING 1926-2015 R.I.P.’.

 The Social Affairs Unit was founded as a charity in 1980 by [[Julius Gould]] and [[Digby Anderson]] with active encouragement from the [[Institute of Economic Affairs]]. Its early publications attacked social security and it later developed more of a preoccupation with law and order, social decline and family values.
