I find it surprising that people who complain about this are often the same people who happily pay out hundreds each year for satellite or cable television services which come complete with adverts.
Personally, I would prefer the BBC to be funded out of general taxation, since I pay very little in tax.
Sometimes I think I would even be happy for the BBC to be completely closed down, since it is now so completely under pro-feminist (of the extreme radical kind) and pro-Israeli control. Biased is not a strong enough word to describe the BBC these days. Remember the outcry in 2009 when the BBC refused to broadcast a humanitarian appeal for victims of the Israeli attack on Gaza, an appeal which was broadcast by all others, including Sky and ITV.

The BBC is both biased and incompetent, but, of course, other broadcasters also have their own faults and shortcomings. One thing is certain. If the licence fee is stopped, if even the BBC is closed down, governments would find some other way of robbing us of our hard-earned money. And commercial broadcasters would continue with their own ways of ripping us all off..
Well if this happened where would all the homosexuals go to get a job?
