We've Got Boris On Our Side,c'mon Boris ,you Tell Them

[Bobbisox1]

That ALL 75s should have a free TV licence, the BBC hit back by doing this we'd lose BBC 2 and Radio 5 live , Scrap the Bias BBC might be better

[dannyk13]

Gromit, you are wrong:-
including programmes streamed over the internet and satellite programmes from outside the UK.

[anotheoldgit]

What's going of, it shows that there is 20 answers but only the 20th is showing?

[aelmpvw]

it took more than ten minutes for danny's post to appear, think i'll find something else to do until it's sorted out ...

[dannyk13]

Annoying to say the least.

[anotheoldgit]

Must be the heat!!!!!

[fender62]

it's out of date, subscription service like netflix sky amazon etc, no pay license you go to court, seems odd in the 21 century, as for radio
there are thousands of channels dab or internet, again my choice.
i wonder how many people would be willing to carry on paying.
id love the bbc to go bust, and all there over payed employees
left hanging in the wind, managers, dj's, actors totally funcked.

The Government, not the BBC, took away the free licence. You should know better than to believe anything Boris says. The BBC isn't biased, it only looks that wat because just about everything else is biased. The Tories are constantly trying to undermine the BBC because they can't directly control its independence and they can't make a profit out of it.

[Bobbisox1]

Boris is a breath of fresh air he's fast moving and not a ditherer like Teresa May was, I disagree when you say the BBC aren't bias, that aside, take a look at the list if repeats today alone

You pay for quality!

You want a decent NHS. You pay for it.

A decent police force? You pay for it.

One of the best broadcasting companies in the world?

That’s right, you PAY for it!

Catch yourselves on, you mugs.

[Zacs-Master]

Are you suggesting a rise in income tax, BB?

[Mozz71]

Would it really be so bad if the Beeb went commercial? I'd be happy to see that if it saves me £150 a year.

[Jackdaw33]

I can remember when you needed a licence for the wireless. I think it was 10s (50p) a year.

Bb,what charm school did you attend?

[bainbrig]

Bobbisox, you ask “Bb,what charm school did you attend?”

I suppose the most accurate reply is that it was the same place where I learnt proper economics, unlike the Mickey Mouse variety prevalent round here...

[Bobbisox1]

You don't 'have' to partake in the Mickey Mouse politics if they're below your elitist learning bainbrig....do you?

//Are you suggesting a rise in income tax, BB? //

He must be. Communists - even those who have never witnessed, first hand, communism in action - are good at spending other people's money.

[Zacs-Master]

I note he didn’t answer, N.

[naomi24]

No surprise. He's prone to 'cockin a deaf 'un' - as they say in his neck of the woods - when it suits him.

[dannyk13]

Just as a matter of interest what would be the cost of streaming form Netlix etc per annum compared with the licence fee of £154.50 ?
