Here is the question again for you.
I framed my question in the light of your question.

Ok, in this case, the answer is no. It's different if you are providing essential services such as education and social care, then yes, everyone should pay as it is beneficial to society as a whole.

But this is not an essential service, it is entertainment. Why should the BBC be thrust down the throats of those who don't want it? There are other channels that are free of charge to watch, after all!

It's not anti-BBC, it's anti-licence fee. You do like to twist things, don't you, Mr K?

I'm glad I re-read that. You said 'peering', not the word I thought you used....
