Or, more precisely, the Labour government’s bullshit attempts at ‘reforming’ it.
The main problem with the current system, as far as I can see, is the element of compulsion, not the price, ie being forced under threat of all sorts of legal sanctions, including imprisonment, to pay for the propaganda department of Labour Party.
Changing the name of the telly tax and/or the method/reason for collection, without making it entirely voluntary, is yet another load of flim-flam from the degenerates in power, merely to protect their own interests when they’re eventually slung out of Parliament, hoping for a cushy earner with the Beeb, and of course protecting their own, horrendously biased, bloated PR company.
There’s talk of putting it on Income tax, or internet fees, or telephone bills, or, or, or ffs! It’s dead simple; encode the transmissions.
Anyone mad enough to want to watch Nònces on Ice, Celebrity Queers Cooking or the party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party – Question Time, is more than welcome to do so. We all know that the BBC would be bankrupted overnight because it’s not commercially viable, because it’s shit.
The ONLY reason for this change is that millions of people are refusing to pay for this garbage and the Beeb/Gov need to come up with a way to make it unavoidable if you have a phone, computer or any income whatsoever.
Do piss off.
Nominated by Termujin.
There’s absolutely no way this current government is going to alter the BBCs charter in any shape or form.
They’ll talk a good game of course, but ultimately, it’s all just window dressing.
And before you know it, the BBC will have another 10 years on condition they explore alternative income streams, which they’ll halfheartedly pretend to do.
The BBC are simply too valuable to the leftist, commie cunts currently in power.
They parrot every announcement and initiative this government utters without challenge.
They align politically in almost every aspect, from climate change lies to transgender bullshit, to the hatred of Israel and Trump, to the belief that uncontrolled immigration is for the greater good, that indigenous British people are scum, to the fantastical existence of a coordinated ‘far right’ movement that threatens our security.
The only way to make them see sense is to refuse to pay. But it needs millions of us to do it.
Have we, as a nation got the bollocks?
Let’s see.

I think you’ve miss the point FMG.
They will change it, definitely, but only because millions are tefusing to pay it in its current form.
It will, most likely, be a monthly charge, added to your internet or mobile bill, whether you watch it or not, totally inescapeable if you don’t live in a cave, like green taxes on leccy, flights, etc.
I guaranted it will involve the BBC getting a LOT more cash, in perpetuity, and it will be dressed up as though the Labour party were the only party brave enough to scrap the TV “license”.

Absolutely right. They’ll filch the money from us one way or another. A simple subscription along the lines of Netflix would see them bankrupt within 12 months.

Indeed, because who in their right mind would pay to watch the dirge and biased crap the Boring Bastard Co-op churns out?

O/T.
Not quite Hanging Judge JPs recommendation, but a minimum of 52 years will do for a start.
Southport MP has referred the case for review, calling the sentence “unduly lenient”
Good man.

Hopefully he will not last long in prison.

Time to bring back the “DEATH PENALTY”..☠️

Yes, indeed, although I don’t think it was completely abolished.
I’m under the impression that acts of High Treason could still carry the DP, I’m probably out of date on the subject and I’m happy to be put straight.

Yes. Blair abolished it in 1998 to save his own skin.

That made me laugh out loud, quite startled the dog as he’s not used to jollity.
Thank you, S-c B, much appreciated.
