As your only choice is to pay a tv licence or not own any kind of broadcast accepting equipment which is now extended to computers hooked up to the internet, it is an undemocratic fee applied to all despite wetehr they wish to have BBC or not.
We dont watch BBC much at all if it was an option to pay £10 a month subscription or not have bbc we would yes do without bbc. It is not an option and therefore does not fit in a democratic society which we are supposed to be. The way it is forced upon us pay, go to court and get fined extensivly or have no tv is none other than legalised extortion, the only reason it being legal is because the government say so. So the government is yes imo guilty of extortion because they are the law.

You want BBC you pay for it. I do not owe you BBC so I dont see why I should subsidise your pleasure.
