Why don't we just have a straightforward referendum to end the license fee or continue with it...in a true Democracy, it would be well worth having a referendum on this question as the British people have been paying this fee for quite a long time now, with no say in the matter if they want to own a TV.

All these actors, directors, writers, presenters...let them swim against the breaking waves of Democracy.

How would you vote?

Keep license fee -- KEEP.

Abolish fee -- ABOLISH.

ABOLISH for me.........I'm an Abolitionist....

Keep. If I watch a programme, and I watch very few, I don't want it interrupted by adverts.

Have you contemplated getting off your fat @rse and doing something else when the ads on, or do you just sit there like a comatosed beached whale? Paying for something you rarely use, is something that well off people tend to do, and that is certainly not your social standing......

Is that right joe? Go on get all that pent up anger off your chest.
How much is the licence fee, £146, hardly a huge sum is it.
BTW it's the fact that the programme is constantly getting interrupted that puts me off viewing but all to our own.
No doubt you pick up your knitting during the breaks you big sweetie wife.

I don't have a TV

, therefore don't pay the licence fee, anyone one who does, pay the fee, is , by definition, not bright enough to know how the licence system manipulates you. Given the fact you admit to not really watching to TV and are yet happy to pay the fee, tells me you are intellectually challenged, or GLASWEGIAN , as the more discerning Scot calls people like you..........

It's two weeks JSA for some, perhaps that's why joe wants it abolished.

Oh well.

'e aint got a george melly, so he can save that from his JSA.

No matter, there is a saying your never 6ft away from a rat. Through work, I travel up and down, and around, this Island and unfortunately the same can be said of GLASWEGIANS, the dirty little things are everywhere, pretending to be cockney or whatever...........

There will be one lurking beneath your toilet , trust me. Perth City is lovely, as are the people from there, Glasgow is another matter.............

KEEP. I dislike TV adverts (though they are bearable in non-live programmes) but I downright HATE radio adverts.

In that case he's on the bottom of the stairs and he'll get kicked out of the way when me and the dog go outside at midnight.

You don`t have to pay, at this moment we have the best situation, but of course guess what keep shouting and make things worse.
