[QUOTE="PGowdy, post: 308555, member: 2042"] Yes, it's a ****ing scandal. It made some sense when there were only 4 or 5 channels. But now 90% of people have Sky (which the BBC earn money from too), which we pay for. We are forced to pay for the BBC whether we want it or not. And that's on top of the astronomic taxes we pay for working, living, driving, buying, dying etc. Whether we need it or not we're buying it, cos the government says so and i don't think any sane person could claim on any level that that is reasonable. What other product can you think of anywhere in the world that citizens are forced to own?? With Sky one pays for the channels one wants and if you don't want them you don't have to have them. I pay £20 a month for my sports channels, because i want them. The BBC shouldn't be any different. The telling factor is they know that they're product is fairly **** and pointless and if people had the option to either purchase or not a huge percentage would opt out. [/QUOTE]
