    Unless UK is not a democracy anymore, taxes are decided by the deputies of the People - that's not exactly an extraction by force.

    No, that's exactly what it is, which is why I object to it being used to pay for an institution that should exist in the private sector. If someone doesn't pay their Sky bill it is a civil matter, but to refuse to pay the TV licence is a criminal act.

      You have a problem with the concept of Democracy, haven't you? ;-P

        Edward Heath, who was involved, boasted about it when he got too old to care.

        Is/was Heath employed by the BBC?

        No, he was 'Conservative' British Prime Minister before Thatcher. He was a traitor who sold his country to the EU for 4 million pounds, an illegal pension for life and immunity from prosecution for his crimes. He continued to recieve undeclared money from the EU in breach of parliamentary rules until his death a couple of years ago. Many are only sorry he passed away because now he will not be publicly hanged.

        Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

          Nope, I've long held that the BBC is just as biased (in their news coverage) as everyone else.

          I think it's obvious that they're just a tad more biased.

          Than what? Fox? I doubt it.

          This statement was never false.
