Default The BBC needs to take 2% of General Tax : Cancel the BBC Licence Fee

This is the sensible way to get rid of
The Direct Debit of £15month to them.



[The licence fee is a legal requirement
for any household
watching or recording live TV,
or using BBC iPlayer.
Evasion can result in a fine of up to £1,000.
The number of households paying the
licence fee is falling
,
leading to financial pressure on the corporation]

PM Starmer must bring this in.

The BBC need to have adverts to pay for itself then we don't have to. Bloody fat cats taking our money.

After talking to others.

Who actually like the BBC without advertisements, and also don't want to kind of have a pay per view scenario too.
They'd prefer it done out of taxation as well..
As they've indicated to me, that would mean fewer not then paying it.

I've always been in favour myself of the licence being scrapped.
Not bothered as to how the BBC continued without a licence fee.
However I could go with it being taken as arista said, out of general taxation.

The Former BBC CEO Tony Hall
spoke on Laura BBC1

And stated a Household Tax
which could be more fair,

Stopping the BBC Tax

BBC can replace the license fee with sponsor deals i think? and have small adverts of those sponsors before and after each program

or have a big investor, Richard Branson perhaps to inject money into the BBC, would love to see Branson to be the UK's own ''Trump'' in terms of the entertainment tv world
