No long-term future for BBC licence fee say MPs
- paulhauggis 12y agoSo it looks like they are replacing a licensing fee that not everyone has to pay (if you don't have a TV) to a levy, which will be required by all citizens.
- Mamacom 12y agoThe BBC's between a rock and a hard place, and attacked from all quarters: conservatives hate it because it's bloated and full of left wingers. Left wingers hate it because it's supposedly the voice of the establishment. It's done itself no favours by competing on ratings and pop culture, and it is definitely losing its position as lighthouse of Britishness. Despite everything, it's scary that one of the most successful public broadcasters in the world may see its funding gutted out.
