As for the magistrates courts the solution is in their own hands: Just dish out a token fine of say £1 and not award costs to TVL prosecutors. I guarantee the cases will dry up in a matter of weeks.  |
I have no doubt that the BBC will change ,i think it must change but imo it must remain a public service ,just about every country in the developed world has a public tv service and all are funded either by general tax,a licence such as ours or other somewhat imaginative methods ,fancy paying for the beeb on your gas or electric bill ,or even a tax on receiving equipment
