This shows that if I am to watch any broadcasted TV then I must also pay the BBC for theirs whether I want it or not. This was acceptable to me in the 70's when TV was provided to all via an aerial and the majority of TV was provided by the BBC but times have changed and this is no longer the case.
As I posted above in response to AJ, the BBC is not a subscription broadcaster and the licence fee is not a subscription. If you want to mount an effective challenge to it, you have to argue against what it actually is, not the way you would like to caricature it.

Incendently Chris you're not so much responding to the topic but rather ripping other peoples responses, there's a difference!
Hardly 'ripping' .... but if you aren't prepared to have someone disagree with you, and say so, then might I suggest a discussion forum is a dangerous place for you to be!
