I dumped my tv licence several years ago. I don't watch any live TV and if they come up with any scheme which forces me to pay for a service I never use. I should be most displeased, not that I'll be able to do anything about it.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 10:38:06 PMWe have a window cleaner, £9. Once every three or four weeks.  Impossible to clean the bays from inside, so I'm happy to pay.
Wow,  that seems a good price, Granny.
Can you send him down to me after he's done yours please?    :smiley:

Fortunately, the USAF bases in this country are virtually the property of the US.  They are fully able to protect themselves should any sort of attack compromise them, and if our Labour government doesn't like it, I am sure they will back down without any argument.
The other option would be the possible withdrawal of all US properties and forces stationed in the UK, which would make our country a prime target for a Russian attack, especially as our own armed forces have been allowed to almost disappear under the 'two main parties'.
I am sure that most thinking people will soon begin to realise that voting for Labour is a pretty bad idea.

Yes, I heard mention of this.  Marge pays the TV licence, and she seems to like some of the films which, I must admit, are quite good.
What I don't understand is how can they demand this money from our using the Internet?  Can they do this even if we don't have a television?  If so, then it is nothing more than a compulsory charge for everyone, regardless of what they watch, simply to keep the BBC financed.
If so, then I hope that even more people will vote for Reform in the next national elections, because they have no specific support of the BBC and will, I am sure, get rid of that probably illegal idea.
