You’d be forced to pay way more than the cost of the licence fee in punishing austerity if it was up to the Mail and the Times. The per capita cost of Brexit that they campaigned for far exceeds the licence fee.

- th0ma5 11mo agoYes, for-profit services often cost more and deliver less than non-profit or at-loss public services which make more sense for commodity services especially those needed to survive like healthcare or infrastructure.
- gadders 11mo agoI'm talking about providing less services in the first place, regardless of who does it.
- ben_w 11mo agoSo was the comment you replied to. More broadly (like "not just UK" broadly) if you get rid of propaganda paid for with your own taxes, what you're left with isn't "no propaganda" but rather "everyone else's propaganda". If your government is a democracy and you are not an elite yourself, this is bad for you. If you're not in a democracy or you are part of the elite (in this example meaning you can pay for the creation of propaganda to serve your own interests), that's good for you.
