So the BBC's response to the consultation on decriminalising the licence fee is to devise another protectionist racket, ignoring the low-paid and smaller providers. It's just another outrageous tax on people whether they watch TV or not and shows how out of touch the BBC has become. It produces a tiny number of worthwhile TV programmes and rather more on radio, but its dominant presence in news and current affairs allows it to spew out an incessant stream of globalist, anti-British prpoganda, supported by the rest of the MSM. In recent years it has lost the trust of many ordinary people, it's audience is diminishing and it needs to be cut down to size.

Mike Knowles: We are all paying for 5G one way or another and those of us losing stations are treated with bureaucratic indifference by Ofcom, DigitalUK, etc. It seems we should be grateful to get BBC4 SD, or we can switch to Sky, Freesat or BBC iPlayer.
