Are you serious? I cant believe that you didnt understand my post, please read again.

No - I don't understand what charges you were talking about.

And I don't watch Eastenders so I am afraid you lost me there again.

You have failed to answer my question because you seem to confuse being "forced" to buy a licence fee with BBC News being forced upon people.
The two things are different.

I REPEAT, WHO PAYS FOR THE BBC NEWS ?

As I have stated I think the fee is worthwhile but I have also acknowledged that many people do not.

And you are happy to have the majority forced into subsidising your viewing habits ?

I never at any point suggested that there would need to be advertising for any BBC platform I said there would need to be a new funding model.

Me neither I think people like you should have the CHOICE to pay it via subscription instead of scrounging from everyone else :rolleyes: After all if the BBC is so good everyone would queue to subsribe (goes off and has a laugh)

I shall not use my inserting method of commenting to your posts again as it seems to upset you.

No one in their right mind likes idiots adding to they're quotes. The quote feature if there for quoting in individual and not for you to extract the urine

And thanks for reminding anyone who is reading that I don't work for the BBC

Can't see anyone thinking you don't work for the BBC after this constant repeat rubbish you've been playing. Only the BBC staff here have used that approached and looked fools

Okay - I shall not ask the question again as you are incapable of understanding the difference. But for anyone who wonders what has been going on here it is....

One last time - the licence payer pays for the BBC, including the News.
The News is not then forced upon anyone.

Simple.

As to your comments about quoting other posters - I disagree. That doesn't make me an idiot. It just means I disagree.

You think I work for the BBC - you are wrong, I do not.
Nor do I work for TV licensing.

Why do some posters think that I work for the BBC?

I do not

Lack of imagination and intelligence generally. It's usually the case that more intelligent people watch the BBC whilst less bright people watch ITV. Not for nothing is 'level of ITV viewing' considered a key metric in the quality of a particular area.

Sorry what were you saying about not working for the BBC again ? The fact that you've just called millions of people (members here too) who watch ITV & ITV news doesn't matter to a selfish opinionated liberal/left "person" (I use that term lightly) like you doe's it :rolleyes:

This is the funniest thread I've participated in for ages.

You can't comment about anything against the BBC without becoming an unpaid employee of them.

Look, ronben and Defiant - you need to get one thing. I like the BBC the way it is. I don't care that you don't. Not in the slightest! Not one teensy-weensy little bit.

You say you're paying for me to watch BBC. You are. I can't deny that. If you don't watch BBC then you're effectively subsidising me. Thanks.

I don't care that you think you're in the majority (based upon what, a poll on a website?). If you can persuade the powers that be to remove the licence fee then you go for it! If it ever comes to a vote, you'll vote one way and I'll vote the other and we'll see who wins.

I think its a case of less intelligence when paying for something that is not worth it.

I've not needed a BBC TV Licence for over 18yrs and so they haven't had a penny for me. I would hate to imagine I'd been helping to subsidise people like mymatebob & magyar. I did have this info in my sig but it seems the BBC people have complained again even though an admin okayed it last year lol

Oh and on another note even though magyar has called over 75% of the British public thick I'd like to remind him who won news channel of the year again!

Sky Wins Top News Awards

He'll find thats neutral too
