you actually think the tories would have no tv/broadcasting tax at all?

The television licence was introduced in June 1946 to coincide with the post-war resumption of the BBC service the same month. Television licences always included a licence to receive radio broadcasts.

Sorry guts comp playing up, since the above there have been 4 Labour Governments and 5 Tory inc the recent coalition, I don't either of the parties have any interes in changing the status quo. There has been ample time and many election opportunities to look good abolishing it.

 . I think SH is correct about a 'back door tax to replace it. The most annoying thing for me is the time dedicated to endless trailers and other introductions like the swimming hippo's for example that 8- seconds cost 1.2 million!!!. If they turned that time over to commercial adverts, alone surely a reduction at the very least would be forthcoming.On this subject, I think a non party affiliated protest group would be far better/effective than the petty squabbling divisions above. Just a thought.  |

only one way to de claw the BBC. it's too powerful in propaganda to attack up front. the guy who was in charge last time got dragged through the mud once he cemented the new agreement.
cut the fee in half. then half again in five years time. kill em slowly. it should be a subscription service like everything else. |
