I'm glad that you are happ...Dear Laci the Dog,<br /><br />I'm glad that you are happy with the service provided by the BBC, however, would you agree that it's unreasonable to expect the many people who do not want the BBC's service, to unwillingly subsidise programs you enjoy watching?<br /><br />If we were to subject the BBC to fair market forces (make a licence optional, and only applicable to those that <b>do</b> want to watch the BBC's content). Then do you think the quality of programs would remain as it is now? Or would you agree that they would decline in quality as a result of their reduced budgets?<br /><br />Assuming you agree that the quality of programs provided by the BBC would decline, then would you agree that you would be less likely to continue your optional subscription of the BBC's services? <br /><br />It's easy to see how the BBC could be forced to turn to advertisement driven revenue generation in a fairly short time if they did not have an immoral monopoly upon everyone who has a television.No Dramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781837837646802127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-49100085157765934282012-03-17T13:52:49.328+00:002012-03-17T13:52:49.328+00:00Hey, Peter, before you make accusations about &quo...Hey, Peter, before you make accusations about "little knowledge" you should try to understand what someone is saying.<br /><br />From reading this post, we are pretty much on the same page about the role of the TV licencing folk.<br /><br />Where we differ is on the value of the institution of the TV licence.<br /><br />I would prefer to pay for a licence and pay my share to make sure the BBC can remain non-comercial.<br /><br />If you have seen the alternatives, then you micht change your mind about the "evil" of licencing.Laci The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138644349857941157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-10664312520927884072012-03-17T09:59:35.124+00:002012-03-17T09:59:35.124+00:00If James was implying I was harassing him he'd...If James was implying I was harassing him he'd be wrong. All I am doing is using the Act to scrutinise the underhand tactics of TV Licensing, and demonstrate how little co-operation they show when people try to hold them to account.<br /><br />They undoubtedly do not like my requests, because I am very good (if I do say so) at nailing them on succinct points of policy and law. They must be very uncomfortable about that, particularly as they now know that the likes of The Sun and Telegraph read what we write here on a regular basis.<br /><br />Incidentally they have still not replied telling me the true number of complaints that have been received about TV Licensing correspondence.<br /><br />As I've mentioned a few times people should be seriously alarmed that the BBC doesn't have those figures close at hand, because it demonstrates the flippant way they deal with public concerns.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702203117069680585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-64060065376720150452012-03-16T23:26:22.002+00:002012-03-16T23:26:22.002+00:00I find it phenomenally ironic that James is effect...I find it phenomenally ironic that James is effectively complaining about you harassing him, when at the same time, the company he works for strong-arm thug division are harassing thousands of innocent members of the public on a daily basis with mail threats and doorstep abuse.<br /><br />I would guess that he probably is less bothered by this harassment due to the 100k+ salary he courtesy of that very same department.the ranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15940350040203431722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-5895639402211697482012-03-13T18:43:20.601+00:002012-03-13T18:43:20.601+00:00Welcome Captain UKIP.
