The license fee thing may have been less of a populist thing and more of an A) shot across the bows at the BBC for its coverage of partygate. B) a sop to murdoch who has been wanting to kill the BBC/license fee since forever.
- denton-scratch 5y agoThe licence fee thing has been in development for years. It was brought forward to distract attention away from the PM's blatant lying. I imagine they'll have a new policy announcement each day for the next week - anything to keep discussion of ministerial hypocrisy out of the morning news shows.
