Re: BBC licence fee no more.

You have to pay a license fee even if you never watch the BBC and just watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. .

This is just flat out wrong, incorrect, lies, not true. Why say it?

The licence fee is well worth it. I don’t watch the BBC for its news anyway and imo 13 quid a month for the content available wether that be sport, dramas, documentaries, its second to none. As others have mentioned their radio is top notch too.

To be fair all of those tabloids who did worse things than this on a daily basis and paid the people who chased her car into that tunnel all disappeared overnight when she died. The British public don't forget those sort of things quickly.

Yes but you are missing the point. You may think the license fee is well worth the money but other people don't and they are forced to pay the licence fee whether they like it or not. You should have no right to force people to pay for a TV station they don't want to watch.

The BBC would still be available the only difference being you would pay for it by subscription like Netflix,Amazon Prime and Indeed the BBCs own Britbox. Being forced to pay for a TV Chanel on pain of imprisonment is like something they would do in North Korea it doesn't belong in the 21st century. Your argument is I like the BBC so everyone in the country should be forced to pay for it if they have a TV whether they like it or not even I'd they don't watch it.

No it's not flat out wrong as the article points out if I watch ITV Channel four or Sky I still have to pay the BBC for the privilege even if I never watch the BBC.

:thumbup:

“‘Defund the BBC’ was last night’s pontification from former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie, who once put Diana’s covertly recorded private phone calls on a premium-rate line so readers could ring in and have a listen.”

"The BBC makes a convenient scapegoat when in reality all of us were part of the ecosystem that destroyed Diana"

You don’t have to pay your TV licence, it’s optional. If you don’t watch anything on BBC just don’t pay the licence. Simples.

The truth is probably 99% of people who pay the licence watch BBC, or listen to the radio, or a podcast.

As someone says above you wouldn’t realise what you’ve lost until you lost it.

I’d gladly pay another 1% to make up for the minority who clam they never watch BBC.

It's just a tax. People pay taxes for all sorts of things they don't use. I like schools. Refuse collection. And some roads. I don't like prisons, but I'd rather they were taxpayer funded than privately owned.
