I think my original statement about selfish intent was correct after all.
no ,i think it is the imposed fee that upsets most and the fact we have absolutely no chance of having a say either way , i have seen some compelling arguments on both sides of the licence fee coin but for me the most compelling is that it is now 2010 and with all the pay per view options available then there must be a better option for the BBC than taking 100% of a tax on tv's and 100% of all revenue from the world sevice totaling god knows how much but i bet it's a lot more than channel 4,5 and itv put together so if we don't have a choice about wether to have a BBC or not i would demand a first rate programming service from them and nothing less
