This must be the most underhand tax in the UK.

Re: TV license
Completely wrong is BBC tax. Perhaps there should be a state tv channel with MUCH lower cost, for giving out information that might be relevant, perhaps news at 10, but the rest of the stuff? Should be paid for by advertisements like every other station.

Ah but you don't have to have Sky to watch TV.
I wish we could just have the option to take off BBC channels.
Then again, we'd get radio tax...

Re: TV license
Where have you got this price from? It only went up by £5 last year, so I doubt very much that this time it will be jumping up by almost £20. Incidently it is the tv signal that you are receiving that you are paying for, NOT the BBC channels, and the fee is set by the goverment, NOT the BBC.

Re: TV license
you should have teh right to opt out of bbc1 it sis forced purchasing , i wish i cold force peopel to pay fro somthing they didnt want
to me it is a total infringment on our human rights because we are forced into paying for it regardless if we want it or not
i for one do not need or want it yet i have to pay for it
teh bbc is a buisness and it should have to pay its own way just like every single other channel does
sky are just as bad because they charge a monthly fee and have adverts , the greedy bastards

Re: TV license
the bbc for teh past 2 years have been trying to bring in a internet licence ontop of the tv license because the internet can access the bbc website
i sh1t you not so thats another fee we will be forced to pay yet what about peope all over the owrld not in teh uk who can also access their site
is teh bbc powerfull enough to make the world pay up or is our govenment happy to just let them screw us
its teh govenment that allows the bbc to do this and every govenment has ignored petion after petition with thousand upon thousands of signatures
remember the govenment is here to represent us and carry out what we want i a democratic order
i say the majority of people dont want tv license fees so in theory we shouldnt have them

Re: TV license
Part of the BBC's charter states that it has to provide 'quality' and 'educational' programmes.
As much as I may like both Graham Norton and Jonathon Ross, the multi-multi-million pound contracts for them both, amongst others, funded by the licence payer, to me is a load of b*llocks, and the sooner the BBC has to join the rest of the Western world in the free market economy, the better.
