These cunts want to ramp up the licence fee by almost 10% (or £15) from the current £159 to £173 per annum next April.
The government, and in particular Culture Secretary, Lucy Frazer, has responded by an almost-but-not-quite “fuck off you greedy cunts!”
The BBC defends the rise after the fee was frozen for two years due to the pandemic, energy and cost-of-living crisis. But Frazer said that people are still struggling to feed and heat themselves without the added problem of paying more for the licence fee.
There was a drop of over 400,000 licence renewals last year, most of these were legitimate, although the BBC/Craptia did pursue over 1000 weekly cases of licence evasion.
The government also suggested that people have far more choices now, especially with catch-up and recorded streaming (neither of which need a licence unless watched via Iplayer).
The BBC’s Royal Charter ends in 2027 and the licence fee may be replaced with a more modern alternative, including subscription, or an additional tax added to the Council Tax, Income tax and benefit payments.
The BBC replied by saying it is looking to save money and offer value for money in these changing/challenging times.
Yeah, well we all know where they can start with their savings … don’t renew the contracts of their so-called superstars like Lineker and news-readers for a start (don’t sack them or make them redundant otherwise they’ll get a massive pay off)
