#1 Why should the public fund the Fifth Column? That's what George Soros types are for.

#2 I refuse to pay the TV-Tax.

Over 10% of people in the UK are refusing to be extorted too.

time to end the idea that extortion funded entertainment can be anything but far left.

#3 Any rumors whether the infamous BBC radio detector vans can pick up emissions from LCD TVs? My guess is no since there is no high voltage flyback transformer and tuners are now single chip and easily shielded.

#9 NHS and the BBC are the best indicators of why you don't want socialized news reporting or medical care. The answer for BBC is do as PBS stations do - beg for handouts and contributions. Leave it to the audience to decide your worth - either that or go commerical. In some respects Channel 4 is more left-leaning than the Beeb (if that is possible). Sky is the big competitor and with more satellite and cable the Beeb market share is shrinking. Its become basically an inner-city service thus the slant to islamists and socialists.

#10 IIRV, PBC receives a gov't stipend which they funnel down to individual PBS stations. The local PBS stations only do the pledge weeks to fill the remaining $ gap
