    Should have gone to a subscription model when the digital switch-over occurred.

    They didn't, because it would be impractical.

    There is no way that they could introduce subscriptions for radio. The TV subscription would end up as big as a disaster as virgin and sky.

    People were conned into leaving the EU with vague promises of funding our NHS, we ought to be funding our BBC as well. Both have "dubious" output, but both are something to be proud of.

    Not sure where the EU comes into this. People should have a choice whether they pay for the BBC's output or not, regardless of whether they watch other channels.
