Joining us to give their thoughts on the matter will be John Whittingdale OBE MP, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, and Alex Deane of Bell Pottinger Public Affairs and previously Big Brother Watch. Following on from the sp...eeches from our invited guests there will be a question and answer session. The Freedom Association’s report – entitled “Free the Airwaves: A look at the BBC and the Licence Fee” by Tom Waters will also be unveiled.<br /><br />As the BBC approaches its 90th birthday, questions are being asked about the oldest broadcaster in the world, and whether it’s fit for purpose in 21st century Britain. More people are beginning to speak up about its – sometimes flagrant – bias on important matters like the European Union, the left/right divide and global warming. Tales of waste and extraordinary executive salaries have been widely publicised. It’s time to rethink the licence fee, and rethink public service broadcasting.<br /><br />Please come along and join us. Admission is free but there will be a collection at the end to help cover costs. We look forward to seeing you there!"<br /><br />If you would like to attend, please register at: http://freetheairwaves.eventbrite.com/<br /><br />More details here :<br /><br />http://www.tfa.net/the_freedom_association/2011/09/the-curious-case-of-the-tv-license-fee.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
