I still think it is time the universal licence fee was gone and other things set in place all geared to choice rather than force.

The thing is the BBC is told to clean up waste or lose the licence fee, I am really now hoping the BBC doesn't clear up waste and that it is lost.
It is also time,in my view, as some Conservatives believe and tried to do too,that not paying the licence fee be decriminalised,that would be another start to ensuring the end of it.

I wonder why no party seems to dare say it will get rid of it,could it be that they suspect the new 'freed up' BBC would go for that party with some gusto if any of them did.
I am just stunned we still have this antiquated thing still in place, it should have been gone years ago for me.
