I don't resent license fee, don't really notice it but if income was dropped I can afford the license but not all the other stuff that adds up.
And with insertion of ad's into catchup/OD what will people think then about ad free content from the BBC?

Absolutely - eg. BBC website,local and national radio. Do we really want down-market channels full of ads? The BBC is unique in its content it's not reliant on viewing figures/advertisers so it provides programming and public service broadcasting that others don't.
There is a case for those on the lowest of incomes to be exempt from the licence but exempting rich pensioners is crazy, they use it most !
