Just further rationalizing the licence fee, if you ask me. Isn't it about
time to finally remove what is left of the BBC's monopoly and scrap the
licence fee -- assuming that brits are qualified to select their own
entertainment choices without the boot of the government over them?
Of course, you might end up with more BBC-produced and distributed
programmes where contestants try to remove a woman's bra without using
hands. Not to mention the permanent opposition that constitutes much of
BBC\s domestic news coverage ...
