I'd rather watch ads and use the TV license money for other things.

Exactly. It gives you a break to go to the loo or make a cuppa.

Generally, I hate Tv commercials but I agree it's handy to be able to have a pee or make a cuppa between or during programmes.

out of the hundreds of channels we now have, there's only 4 channels on tv that DON'T show ads (and two of them are only part-time)... are you really saying that you want to pay £150 for these 4 measly channels?

Exactly. It hits low income families very hard. And what about people who are struggling to pay their kids' university tuition fees, plus rent, and then have to fork out for a second TV licence for them?  The fee is a complete con too - the huge, above inflation increases in recent years have been used to pay for digital channels the majority of people don't have access to!!!


I can't believe that the Tory government believed it was sensible to sell off the country's railway network, which is now in chaos, but to keep a TV station in public ownership.

Was that meant to be cough or count? And my point is that most people don't have access to the channels other than BBC1 and 2!
