I think the point OB was making is that she believes that as someone already paying a lot of taxes and making a positive contribution to society and to others less fortunate that may not be making the same positive contribution, she feels aggrieved by having to pay a further tax for television channel she doesn't particularly want to watch.

I don't think she thinks herself more important, just ****ed off

Why should *anyone* have to leave a country just because *YOU* don't like them?

I don't think she said anyone shouldleave the country - that was you, in fact telling her to leave the country.

Sorry, no logic to it at all, Fearon is a **** sucking toerag with a conviction list as long as your arm and we (yes, we -it's our money) are paying him £4,500 grand. Thats approx 450 licence payers' money going out of their bank account into his. It's disgusting and dispicable.

And it's not just this single point that is the argument against the Licence fee, this is just one of many.
