If the BBC were to become a subscription channel, I might pay to watch them, but that would be a fraction of the price of the TV Tax.
TV Tax is about 50p a day per household, isn't it? And that include as many TVs as you want plus catch up on iPlayer.

I have qualified for a free TV license for nearly 2 years, but it seems I'll soon have to pay again, due to a change in policy.

Irrelevant.

How would you feel if we were obliged to pay a regular tax to support specifically the Labour Party?

I await with interest the forthcoming publication by the Mary Whitehouse brigade listing both acceptable and unacceptable words and phrases for public usage.

Poofs! There, I've said it!

Incredible that this investigation was launched because of a single ridiculous complaint.

Toby Young, General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, previously criticised the BBC for giving classic programmes a "moral health warning".

He said: “The BBC has been taken over by the ‘woke’ cult. Its managers are like 17th Century Witchfinder Generals, constantly on the lookout for heretics.

"Any programmes that depart from their narrow ideological dogma are immediately slapped with a moral health warning."Someone needs to remind them that Britain is the birthplace of Parliamentary democracy and the licence-payers who pay their wages believe in free speech.”

No need to ask where some of the licence are being wasted...
