But then there's that choice in paying for it than being forced to pay for it is the main point. But I don't know what the internet and a broadband 'tax' has anything to do with the BBC. So basically using this tax as an excuse and nothing more to make people pay it. That is something I don't agree with.

At least this way there's be no more needs to have vans to parked up outside your house with their radars to see if you're watch the BBC, lol.

The "TV TAX" should be for BBC programmes only, and if you don't watch them you should not pay it.

I have never once had anyone answer the question as to why the BBC need to be paid for me watching something that they have had zero involvement in?

That would be like me saying, "you have food in your house, as such you need to pay £200 a year to eat that food, doesn't matter where it came from, who produced it etc, you owe me £200 because you have it", now you might say that is ridiculous but that is exactly what the TV Tax is currently and will be when the clowns allow this "Internet Tax" to be used instead of a "TV Tax".

As it is Burnham has already basically said that by the next election he will be raising taxes even more, so the people in the country already struggling because cost's are increasing because of this clueless clown show of a government, are going to be struggling even more so, because Burnham is going to increase taxes so he can give more money to the people who shouldn't be getting more money!

I think it would be stupid of Labour to do this, but they have done much stupider things so we will just have to wait and see, but it will be interesting to see how many times you have to pay for it, because they may try to add it to each connection which for this house that would £88 a month!

Let's see someone justify £11 per device!
