Thread Name: The BBC are arseholes
Subject: RE: The BBC are arseholes
Punk it really helps when you post if you have some idea what you are talking about. The suggestion is that the BBC becomes a subscription service, or runs advertisements i.e. not funded by a outdated poll tax type of system. It is nothing to do with right or left politics, it is failing miserably as a public service broadcaster, and needs replacing.
As it stands it is only answerable to itself and has compulsory funding at our expense. That is not sustainable in this day and age.
Try explaining to a 21 year old student why he/she has to buy a licence when he/she does not watch the channel regularly, and already pays for another provider. All that is being suggested is it becomes independent, like ITV.
