    Again, it's only your opinion


    And again, your opinion.



    Yet again, your opinion.

    You seem concerned that I have opinions. Yes, I do have opinions. You have opinions. We all have opinions. That's what this is all about - expressing our opinions. Which I am entitled to do as much as anyone else.
  • Of course we all have opinions, but state them as though yours are facts.

    As I have said over and over, I agree with licence fee being included in benefit calculations. Do keep up.

    But it currently isn't, making it regressive.

    If a licence were only required for watching BBC channels, it wouldn't be a burden on the unemployed/low paid.

    That the BBC is "a precious jewel not only in the eyes of the UK but all over the world" is an opinion, but you state it as though it were a fact.

    Isn't World Service radio part of the BBC?
    It is now, by govt action.
    Indeed, the LF is approximately two whole weeks of JSA.
    I agree it should be included in benefit calculations. :yawn:

    OK, that's a valid opinion (yes, one of those dreaded things). So propose it in the current charter review.
