BBC licence fee

43p a day is good value for not having to listen to commercial radio. For example talk sport and their constant ad breaks and that growly voiced tit interjecting all the time .

if the govt wants to help people save money start with insulating all homes for free, simplifying and reducing energy prices, and reducing the extortionate cost of public ( ha ha ) transport.

Nobody is saying scrap the BBC though. They want the mandatory licence fee scrapped. Make the BBC a subscription service. Where's the problem? Those that want it will obviously continue to keep paying and allow those that don't the option not to anymore.

By making it a subscription service like Netflix and Amazon it is then no longer a public service broadcaster.

By all means change the licence fee to a tax but to scrap it completely for a subscription service is a very selfish attitude, many programmes on TV and radio would disappear as they'd be seen as not commercially viable.

Think of the BBC as a library but on TV, you might not use libraries but if on the odd occasion you do pop in, would you get angry that they cater for everyone's needs and that your money is helping to pay for it?

To be honest I’d rather they just taxed it so we didn’t notice.

Every time I have to call to pay it knowing it’s going to some snivelling rag ****’s wages in Salford it pisses me off.
