BBC LIcence Fee Hike

[JumpersforGoalposts]

You still have to pay, covers all media, from tv to radio to streaming on your computer.

The licence fee is to watch (or record) "live" broadcast tv and for access to the BBC i-player. It is not required for any use of radio or using a TV or computer to watch any other service that is not "live".

Easy fix:

1 - Scrap the license fee

2 - Take the money out of general taxation - last year license fee raised £3.8 billion this is 0.3% of government expenditure annually.

3 - Ring-fence this funding (e.g. 25 years) fix it to inflation, cross-partisan agreement with an independent financial regulator. Now the BBC can reap the benefits of long term certainty and budget planning, outside of party politics.

4 - BBC also benefits from saving a fair bit of its budget in enforcing, administrating and processing the license fee every year for millions of people.

5 - Continue making exceptional world class content in peace.
