A tad desperate I feel. Bar YouTube this still wouldn't affect me but even so this would surely be deeply unpopular.

The Licence Fee is a Poll Tax.
There are other ways to fund it without compromising on it's (lol) 'independence'

Said goodbye to Broadcast in 2016 and never looked back.
They've never had anything that I've urgently needed to see, the few comedy series I enjoy I catch on the high seas, sometimes years after the fact.
Broadcast just doesn't work for us Millennials and the Iplayer is a chore to use and isn't the full library. We want control with our viewing.

The thug you sent round to 'enquire' as to our viewing arrangements sealed the deal.

So here’s what pisses me off most about the #BBC and the licence fee. They get unprecedented access to Glastonbury but don’t make everything they broadcast available on #iPlayer. We can’t watch it all live and we’ve paid for it so make it all available!

The Licence Fee is a joke now, and as it's already a Government mouthpiece the argument that the BBC should get it's revenue from the Fee to 'maintain integrity' is moot. Blame Tim Davie.....ask your smart speaker about him /s

Hard to derive solid facts from the widely reported possible consideration of funding the BBC out of general taxation (hard to imagine considering the current state of finances). I could see it done much like the ABC in Australia though it would hake the Beeb much more impacted by future gov decisions. #TV #UK #television #LicenceFee #BBC
