Re: Television Licence

Most people I work with don't have a tv license

You don't need one to watch Netflix on demand

Stop paying the tv tax

Re: Television Licence

I don't mind paying this licence fee. Do not forget the fee covers listening to the Radio, some good talk and sports commentary on there. I just wish the BBC were less biased in Political and Foreign reporting.

I do mind paying it, T.V. and radio worldwide are paid for by advertising leaving others with freedom to choose what they want to watch or listen to.

We on the other-hand must fork out for a service we might not want before we are allowed to watch/listen to the free worlds broadcasting!

Re: Television Licence

The TV fee is good value for money. It still shows football and other sporting events. how much would it cost to attend some of these games.

Re: Television Licence

The Yanks have Public Broadcasting, but the difference is that they CHOOSE to subscribe to it.
The Brussels Broadcasting Corporation make £millions selling product across the world but that is never enough, it still demands everyone in the UK pays a compulsory tax to keep its staff on bloated salaries (sorry, I mean salaries that must be high to compete with those in the private media - figure that one out).

But no political party will ever do anything about it because they know the BBC will give any half-wit politician air time.

Re: Television Licence

only in the UK can a company be as anti British as the BBC , cover up mass sexual assaults and rapes of women and small children and be allowed to not only continue trading but have the general public pay them for the pleasure under threat of imprisonment or a hefty fine

There was no phone hacking, it was all the fault of the mobile phone companies making everyones PIN number the same and not forcing customers to change it. Anyone who knew your mobile number could listen to your answer machine messages using the pin number 1234 or whatever it was. I never changed mine back then either. That was the majority of what went on and other newspapers were doing it as well. I think the Mirror group had as many arrested as Murdochs lot. Out of all the arrests only one or two was it did jail time and that was for something else anyway. Big news story arresting people in dawn raids and then nothing reported as they were released without change.

When he started the Sun on Sunday the circulation was massively smaller than the NoTW so he lost a lot of readers. Something like a million less I think it is
