TV Licence

[Rjk]

why pay for some thing that you never ordered and never use. ( in my case)

Even if you never watch it you are still enjoying many benefits of its being there.

It has a profound effect on the quality of program making in the UK. Look at other countries like France or Australia, the locally produced TV there is really amateurish. The tone of news broadcasting.
The money spent by the BBC brings much more than that back into the country, many times over.
It is a key part of UK soft power, which considering we are about to leave the EU, seems more important than ever.

It's like saying you don't drive a car, so you don't benefit from money spent on the roads, or you have no kids so you dont benefit from spending on education. Equally bogus.
