Scrap the BBC licence fee, and make BBC a Subscription Service
Th government has the power to overturn the TV licensing fee. Labour have already considered scrapping the fee, now it needs to be put in motion.
The BBC licence fee is an old and outdated method of charging for a channel, they still allow a fee for a black and white tv at £57!
The BBC should be an optional subscription service, the same as many other channels. This would allow a much more affordable option and reduce the risk of people avoiding paying licence fees.
