Closed Make the TV Licence optional

Closed on

The TV Licence should be voluntary. I pay for Satelite TV and I can quite happily go without BBC. BBC should be completely self funding. Why should I pay for F1, Eastenders, Match of the Day etc when I can get my broadcasting from Sky or other alternatives.

Point 2, to play game consoles a TV is needed, why should a game player pay for BBC
