Please don't try and use that argument Maggy because it is not the same and your well aware of that. Taxes are paid because in oneway or another we all benefit by a far greater margin then we all benefit by all paying the licence fee. Times change and things move on but the bbc isn't at anywhere near the same pace and the reason is because they have a nice cocoon called the licence to always gaurantee their revenue.

How about we charge all non sky\vm customers something so they can subsidise that for those of us that have it and yes it is the same thing. I am all for paying for what i use and what i make use of but that argument simply cannot be used in relation to the bbc. I don't want to see the end of the bbc but i do think they can manage on less money then they currently take from every household in the UK.
