No-one can argue the quality of the BBC and its output, be it radio, tv or internet.
My point is, and has always been, that we should have the choice whether to pay or not (should be a subscription, not mandatory by law).
I just think that it is unfair, in this day and age when there are so many other broadcasters, to be forced to pay £11 per month to fund a single broadcaster whose programmes you may never watch.
