brears said:tv license is there because the bbc is funded through public (not advertising money). you have to pay the license fee as a british citizen whether you watch the bbc channels or not. unless you dont own a tv, or any form of television signal receiving device of course.
yes, im sure thats hard to believe for our american (etc) friends on here, but it does pretty much guarantee impartial news coverage. and the programmes on the bbc arent interupted by adverts every 5 seconds.
im guessing everyone in the uk will already know this so sorry if i wasted your time by making you read all that.
Im sensing a Labor Voter rrr:
Na screw that we dont pay no licence fees in Australia :worship:
