Have it your own way garinda, if you want to live in ignorance of the facts then that is your choice.
I'm more than happy to pay a licence fee that funds the regulatory bodies and infrastructure that is needed for broadcasting, what I do object to is paying towards an extravagant monopoly.

If I'm ignorant please explain how the BBC is funded if not directly from the licence fee via the government?
