Why should I be taxed for having a TV? Do you think that you should be taxed for having a computer? Would it be right for BT to be paid for being willing and able to provide broadband, if you were using , say, VM cable.
Everyone understands taxes for infrastructure essentials, but TV channels?

I have never used the police or the fire service… but I pay it via my council taxes … I should ask for a refund maybe

Like something we tell all immigrants.. paying for (and moaning about it) the BBC is part of being British.. now suck up or move to another country which does only subscription/advertising based services.

Now off to listen to TMS on the WC final..

Are you honestly comparing the Emergency Services to a television channel ?

Agree.. wrong one.. what about schools in council tax if you don’t have kids ?

 

[GuyInLyon]

Why censor or even avoid news outlets people don’t agree with?

There's no way I would watch a chat & panel show network showing the folks that they have, if I could get it here in France...

 

[GuyInLyon]

Just switched over to it, to conduct my own research. Dan Wootton, whoever he is, interviewing Lady Campbell, whoever she is.
Utterly bizarre. Are we certain this isn't some kind of spoof channel?
I shall not be returning but see no reason why other folks shouldn't have the choice to melt their brains watching it.

Dan Wooton is the Pound Shop version of Piers Morgan.

 

[GuyInLyon]

Is GB News not just the Daily Mail on TV?

There does seem to be a certain cross-pollination between the two. GB News evidently has a few DM contributors (Wooton for example) and the DM has been pimping the network ever since it was announced.

 

[GuyInLyon]

...a see you next Tuesday.

That's clever. I hadn't seen that one before.

Are you for real.? We are talking about a TV channel. The way you are going on I can just see you bowing towards Broadcasting House if you were passing it.
And why the hell are you mentioning immigrants and "move to another country" etc.

It's only a golf forum?

BBC is more than a Telly channel though - radio , website , theatre , careers , etc

BBC provides a lot more service than just a couple of programs a day

But this is old arguments

I thought this is what the ‘woke’ want.. defund the police, defund the fire, defund the bbc ……

Agree, just like Sky, ITV, Channel 4 etc are all more than a TV channel......but they all have to do it and provide those other services commercially (and most aren't as biased or up their own arse as the BBC!).

Oh no! The BBC is the spiritual homeland of the Wokeratzi.

and Sky costs the same per month as what the Telly License is plus adverts ,and the others just full of adverts. The BBC isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but for millions that can’t afford sky or don’t like adverts it provides them exactly what they want. It’s very cheap for what they provide and if it becomes a subscription service then the price increases to get the money in and many can’t afford it

But it's not a choice like the others. It should be a subscription channel.

Does your TV have a channel change button?

 

[SocketRocket]

Does your TV have a channel change button?

Yes but I don't have to buy a licence to use it.

 

[Mudball]

Yes but I don't have to buy a licence to use it.

go ahead and start a petition… maybe we should do a once-in-a-generation referendum…

 

[theoneandonly]

Yes but I don't have to buy a licence to use it.

You don't need a license to use a TV. You could happily watch Netflix, amazon , Hulu and the like and do away with the burden of paying £12.50 pm and clearly being forced to watch Naga.
