DON'T extend the BBC Licence fee to Streaming Services like Netflix & Disney+.
Do not extend the BBC Licence Fee to include streaming service subscriptions such as Netflix and Disney+ as there are many UK residents moving away from BBC TV, Radio and streaming service for alternative providers.
It has been reported that the Labour government could extend the TV Licence to streaming service subscriptions such as Netflix and Disney+. Many UK residents are switching to these alternative entertainment services as they often provide better content. It would be unfair to force people to pay into an organisation for a service that they do not use. We believe that we should have the right to choose our entertainment provider.
