Frank I object to my licence fee being used to televise golf. I'm sure there are plenty of anti-golfers who are TV licence holders.

Oh! Why should we scrap historical and well loved customs just for the sake of a few mean minded idiots in this country. angry

And of course nobody who is totally lacking a sense of humour should have any part of their licence fee used to produce comedy programmes

gardening programmes should not be subsidised by those with only a window box, childcare programmes, motoring programmes blah blah....

Frank if you start down that route, you could then argue that no church services should be broadcast at the expense of someone who doesn't happen to be C of E.

Cookery programmes featuring meat should not be shown at the expense of vegetarians, etc etc

Notso

Yes I agree with what you are saying.

Televising the Royal family should not be done at the expense of any antiroyalist and I am sure there are plenty of antiroyalists who are TV licence holders.

I know, we could call the annual charge the TV licence!

Notso! grin

What a brilliant idea Frank!

We could also have pay TV for Soaps/News/Comedy/Drama/Music/Children/Reality/blah/blah
Just pay for the things you want to watch!

Has to be a whole lot easier than just not switching on the things you're not interested in.

Anyone who is not interested doesn't have to watch anyway, Frank

Instead of announcing things like the Royal birth on general television why not create a Royal pay TV channel and anybody who is interested can pay to watch this channel and anybody who is not interested dies not pay.
