I don't know how much the "independent" TV companies grab, from us, in the form of charging vast sums to advertise, the whole of which is passed on to us by the manufacturer. (and then some).
Making a case to put pressure on the BBC to change, that's worth while, in my opinion, but I think that Boris is, definitely, on board for that exercise.
No, of course it's not just the money; it's the principle.
Like you, we spend more than that on other things. The real reason I cancelled my TV Tax is that I resent having to support a political organisation with whose politics I disagree.
