Abolish the TV licence
The television licence fee funds the BBC, yet a consumer is required to have a licence to watch or record any live TV, regardless of whether or not they want to consume BBC content. There should be no requirement to fund the BBC in this way, and no licence should be required to watch or record TV.
Everyone will be required to have a licence even if you just have a computer with internet access, oaps, deaf and BLIND will now have to pay in full. The tv licence can apply to gain entry to your property through a court and fine you up to £1000 if you have a tv but no freeview you still have a tv which is classed as channel receiver equipment even if its in your childs bedroom hooked up to a dvd player.
