I'm not in favour of a system whereby people who don't access BBC services have to pay for them. We have that now and it's manifestly unfair. I can't see the argument that £12 a month is a bargain, either, when it adds approx. 20% to my monthly telly bill, but accounts for considerably less than 20% of my viewing . But, if every household had to pay a levy this would surely mean a reduction in monthly outgoings for those households (the majority) who currently pay the licence fee, so I can see how this idea might gain traction.
