I really find it hard to understand how people don't understand how much you get from the monthly licence fee... news, entertainment, education, radio, web etc. Especially someone of your age group (assuming 'OLD BOY' suggests what I suspect it suggests).
And why has the BBC been given the bill for pensioners' licence fee to make funding even more difficult? We all no why really; the Tories want to help their mate Rupert by attacking the BBC.
But here's my question to you:
How many BBC services do you currently consume?
How much would you be prepare to pay, if it were subscription based, to consume what you currently consume?
