I amy be selfish but as someone that watches no bbc content and my wife watches eastenders only yes i resent paying a chrage of £142 a year. So do millions of others and we never get a say on it no choice in this at al. We get told each year how much extra we have to pay and only recently have the bbc even condescended enough to tell us how some of it is spent.

Also for those constantly telling me about how the bbc makes things no one else does or would can you tell me one type of show on the bbc i cannot watch on another channel that isn't bbc. fact is there is nothing unique about the content on the bbc and what there is on there you can find on other channels.

How about they cut back the number of radio stations and tv channels they have and manage with less because thats what the rest of us are going to have to do for some years to come but not the bbc oh no they have a protected no choice income.

My cousin recently had to choose between taxing his van for work or paying his licence fee as he is a builder and has not had a lot of work for a while and he is now getting the sort of threatening letters you would normally associate with loansharks.

It isn't democratic (something that is of upmost importance to some on here in other threads when it suits them) it isn't fair and while some of you may feel it provides value for money a hell of a lot of other people do not share that view and surely should have an alternative.
