Background
We are still paying to watch programmes we have paid to have made over 30 years ago and still paying to watch. The BBC needs to be scrapped, sold off or moved on to subscription if they want to continue. This unfair tax, needs to be blocked now. If the BBC want to continue to remain a fta service then they need to up there game, start making programmes that are not all about crime, cancer, and the awful things of life that we turn to tv to forget.
