Over 90% of the funding goes to the BBC. We can debate how the remaining 10% is raised.

Once again, I don't think anyone on here has suggested that the BBC is abolished. But we want to choose whether or not as individuals we pay for it.

I certainly would, and so would most others. But why should those who don't want it pay? That is the question.

I don't buy the 'quality assurance' angle, particularly when you look at all the junk you can find on there as well as the better stuff. If that's what people want, they will be prepared to pay for it.

I'm afraid I don't believe in the Nanny State. Maybe we should have a referendum on it!
