Please explain why the BBC is so good we should all pay for it if we want to watch it or not.

The only people who are brain washed are those who still think that the TV license is to watch BBC programmes and pointedly refuse to accept that this is not the case.

You don’t pay just to watch BBC programmes. If the BBC didn’t exist we would still have to pay the annual TV license fee.

The TV license authorises the installation and use of video receiving equipment in a house, pub, hotel etc. and you can watch whatever broadcasts are available to you, regardless where they come from. In private domestic property the single license covers all the TV sets in that property.
