You watch question time Monte?

Most weeks I do plus ''any questions'' on radio 4.

I just figured out I can use my adblocker to hide his awful sigs. I just rightclick it and choose "block element" and won't have to see it again. Doesn't work on mobile though which is a huge problem on public transports.

Someone needs to put you back in the Hwen-ternment camp FDR style.

The Hitler fans should come also.

Actually, only one license is needed per residence and the farmer whose land I'm on has one. I'm covered. Thanks for your concern over protecting the BBC though. You are a model citizen.

Hwen please remove that weird porno signature. Its not appropriate. This is not the first time someone on the board has had to bring up your horrible signatures and avatars. Do the right thing.

It breaks my brain that you people are ok with licensing something like TV

The word license obviously confuses you. Try replacing it with TV fee.
You don't have to pass a test like a driving license it's just a fee to watch the BBC. Is all TV free in the states?

Do you not have commercials on the BBC?

We pay for cable but there are many channels that broadcast for free. The channels themselves pay a license fee to the government to secure their frequency, and advertising pays for the channel to run.

If you have an antenna, you can get probably about 20 channels at any given time for free

Do you not have commercials on the BBC?

No. The BBC has no adverts and therefore no corporate masters.
You can watch any other TV station online without a licence.
The fee's collected from the licence and selling programs abroad are spent on programming. There is no-one collecting the profits and the government doesn't get it's hands on a single penny. What's not to like?
