To scrap the outdated way the BBC are funded with the public’s hard earned money by having to pay for a TV licence.The BBC need to look at other ways to fund itself.
With the pandemic of covid19 here for the foreseeable future.And so many out of work the licence is an unwanted burden we can ill afford.The government have a responsibility to help the public in as many ways as possible.By scrapping the TV licence this puts extra cash into peoples pockets without any extra funding from the governments purse strings..The BBC need to stand on its own two feet with finding other ways to fund itself.
