Background
No BBC Consumption: Many UK households rely solely on streaming platforms and do not use BBC services. It is unfair to force them to subsidise a service they do not watch.
Unjust Taxation on Choice: Charging a licence fee based on owning a TV or internet connection rather than actual BBC usage is outdated and penalises those who prefer on-demand streaming over live television.
