Personally, I strongly resent being legally obliged to pay to subsidise a left-leaning political organisation when my political leanings are exactly the opposite.
Even if I were completely apolitical, it would be unfair to expect me to pay for a political organisation of any kind.
The BBC, if it pretends to be our state broadcasting organisation, should have absolutely no political bias at all.

Re: TV licenses and the over 75s
Same licence fee, less to watch though. Is anyone going to miss this particular programme that's due to be cut?"The Andrew Neil Show will disappear from BBC schedules as part of cuts to the corporation's news operation."
"The political discussion programme had already been off the air during the Covid-19 crisis and will not return. But the BBC said it was talking to Neil about a new BBC One interview show.
In total, 520 jobs will go, from a workforce of around 6,000 people."

Incidentally, I received my first letter from the TV Tax Police today, once again explaining the ten commandments of television viewing. I had to fill in a declaration online, of remarkable similarity to that I had already done when I cancelled our TV Tax, which ended with the veiled threat that they 'might' send some Gestapo to investigate me and check if I have been watching any proscribed programmes, and which could result in a fine of £1000.
I was having a good laugh all the way through completing their pathetic warning declaration.

HiI have no problems at all with paying.
I hate adverts and they lead to the lowest possible denominates.
The BBC World Service is is our biggest and cheapest method of exporting our views.
It is highly respected, not here, but in the rest of the World.

Not for very much longer though, I am fast coming to the conclusion there's no point in wasting money doing so!
