TV licences.

Just what purpose is there in having TV licences? Some 98% of the population have now got colour TV so why does support of the BBC not come from general taxation?
Why have an unnecessary bureaucracy?

Why have to have teams of investigators?

Why the need to take up so much court time?
No. The whole thing is an exercise in futility and pointlessness.
I accept that having no advertising on a few channels is a good thing and that the National and Local Radio setups should receive adequate funding too but only on the grounds that in general, for all its faults - of which there are many - the BBC is the best producer of quality broadcasting and this must continue.

I used to travel on this noxious airline. I'll pay a lot more to avoid them like the plague!

Ryanair forced me to a pay a £50 baggage fee for a ridiculous reason - I thought they were joking. Have YOU been forced to pay an extra fee?...
