BBC Tax for all

They prefer 'alternative facts' from dubious crank bullshizzle outlets. It gives them great comfort. The truth just grates on them.
You could get Mone landfill for twice that.
As said, we don't get to say how our taxes are spent. It's tough titties.
I agree its tough but it still ain't right
Government are losing money with so many not paying for a TV licence so they dream up a way to scrèw everybody no matter what!
Yep and these lot are up for it....like lemmings they'd be off a cliff if told to.
Here they go look.
Is that a BBC edit?

Licence fee purchases are falling and the rate is accelerating. People are defunding the BBC - over 500k this year. The right thing to do is some of the following:
1) cut the service to suit the money raised by those who do want it.
2) change what it does to recruit more subscribers, like any other content provider
3) seek additional sources of income to fund the gap.
The wrong answer is:
1) accuse those who no longer want to consume its content as law breakers - I regularly get letters at the properties I own.
2) pretend its evasion, not migration
3) demand taxes on competitors to fill the gap.
Intel doesn't get compensation from apple, because they don't use their chips anymore
Youtube doesn't get fees from TikTok because they have lost views.
The idea that Netflix etc are benefiting from the BBC's groundwork and should pay, would mean Microsoft should pay Xerox, Google, Yahoo, Oracle, IBM. etc. As they all built their business on the ideas of those who went before them.

Like Sky, ITV, Ch4 online Newspapers etc..
Have fallen correct. I doubt anyone is shocked. 22 million or so still paying. That’s a heck of a lot of people that still want and pay for BBC content.
Your statement is nonsense as per.
A third of the UK population is nobody, lol.
That’s a lot more than voted for Brexit.
Or are worried about a violent knock on the door if they dont.
I’ll pay your share.
