The BBC is asking for the licence fee to be extended to all channels in response to falling revenue.
If I don’t watch Netflix I don’t have to pay for it. So why do the BBC think people who don’t watch their programmes should pay for them?

We need the BBC.
I’d rather have a public institution that I as a tax payer have a stake in, inevitable flaws and all, than for everything to be corporate-owned, where with one phone call, a trillionaire, Epstein-affiliated, psychopath can shut down entire stories. |

The BBC is past its sell by date.
Ridiculous high salaries, too many embarrassing cock-ups, less than impartial reporting, reliance on former glory, decreasing quality of programming and increasing costs to support a dead duck. Time to go beeb. |

"Tv licence reminders and red envelopes everywhere I go
Nobody ever seems to call to enforce. "
Will you be at home on such and such a date? They threaten.
Well I've stayed in loads of times especially for them but they never show up.
I've even replied to them that I've only got a receiver so that local vigilante groups don't pick on me for being different and not watching telly.
If they come around, and only then, I will show them it is a dummy telly with no innards, only a screen! |

It should be funded out of general taxation as a national resource but get rid of all the shite entertainment programs of any calibre lower in intellectual standard than Radio 4. |
