Being debated in Parliament.
Cultural Secretary Morgan said is the BBC relevant?
Lucy a Live debate just on Radio 5 had a story of a Fella who could no longer afford the fee. The Judge finned him £200 or 3 weeks in prison. He had no money to pay the fine so went to Prison. When he came out, could no longer get a job Criminal record.

I'm torn
Because I want the BBC, but I want it to be better. At the moment, it's an absolute shower of sh1t. |

I don't get the comparsion with Netflix or Amazon, how many times do you go on Netflix and find nothing to watch, plus they don't cover politics, music, science etc

I have no problem with the fee, better than all the ad breaks.
However, I do think it should be free for anybody on universal credit or genuinely hard up. |

The fee isn’t really the issue, the issue is the channels constant refusal to stick by the guidelines set for them, they’re meant to be impartial and they’re anything but, either serve the people that pays for it, or stop taking money from everyone

This thread is called "BBC Licence Fee Debate". It's very much the issue. |

Right and if the channel sorted itself out I think more people would be happy to pay the fee, so in the grand scheme of things, the fee isn’t the issue, the state of the channel is, imo

I think fewer people are bothered than you think. So long as Silent Witness and Strictly are on time.

There are a few programmes I watch on tv but there arent enough good programmes for the fee to be so expensive. Especially when I already pay over 100 quid a month for sky!

The Government intends to stop
the BBC taking folks to Court, for not paying their TAX and the BBC does not want that. |

Sargon did a video on this, if anyone is interested. He's also done a video on the BBC in general. Last edited by Alf; 05-02-2020 at 10:34 AM. |

But of course, plenty of people will happily not have the BBC at all and they'll lose a tonne of money and we can't have that, can we? No no, some people think the BBC is excellent and watch it all the time and so, obviously, it's only right and fair that the people who aren't arsed about it pay for it for the people who love it. Makes perfect sense. How about this; We let the 50% of people who don't want the BBC stop receiving the BBC and pay nothing, and the 50% who do want it can pay double and they won't lose any funding. They should be happy to do so. No? |

I think it should be on subscription, then if you want to watch it just pay as in Netflix etc, maybe if it was cheaper more people would subscribe ,I also think it should be free for people who cannot afford it .
