The question was, "what else does the licence fee pay for?" The licence fee pays for the radio and iPlayer.
But it is unfair to say that using these services without having a licence is "freeloading", because you do not need a licence to use them. Hell, would you say anyone who doesn't have a licence who browses the BBC website for news is a free loader? Of course you wouldn't!0 -

I mean, they have bought a VEL, so what are they doing using the road? :mad:0 -
