Background
The television licence is an unfair tax on the public. There are now hundreds of TV channels none of which require a TV licence. The BBC should have to stand on its own two feet. Many of the programs that are on the BBC are repeated. If the BBC struggle financially thy should take a luck at the salaries they pay to their staff.
