BBC - do we want it?

BBC - is it only me that sees that £3.5 billion in our taxes (a Poll Tax) goers to run this juggernaut for the benefit of the "Luvvies" etc. and other no hopers to get rich.

Why in the 21st century do we need Entertainment as a Public Service when other REAL Public services are being squeezed to death, Social Services, Housing Services looking after vulnerable and disadvantaged. The BBC is not elected how dare they spend our money. Or am I wrong?

Privatise the BBC - £1000 bounty to catch dodgers

TV on the Taxpayers? Ludicrous in the 21st Century. Why put people in prison for watching TV. When there are all the alternatives to the BBC - all Private and they can make money WHY do we have to pay the Licence fee? Its a TAX on entertainment.

They could save all the money in the courts hounding people and making criminals out of them and in this time of austerity we can't afford a £145 a year tax. I've had no pay-rise for 5 years yet MPs are to get 10% whether they want it or not.

Privatise the BBC and do away with the Licence fee. Public service TV can be paid for out of levy on all of the TV channel providers SKY can afford  bit.
