Background
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.
