And? Those retirees are "forced" to pay for roads they may not be able to drive on, research of all kinds they may not benefit from, education systems for children and grandchildren they may not have had, and all sorts of other things. All of those (BBC/news included) are very good things and it is insane to complain about them. Especially when the alternative is things like Fox News and Murdochs other trash propaganda companies.

Well no they're not because most of them don't pay tax as they're below the threshold.

"All of those (BBC/news included) are very good things and it is insane to complain about them."

That's an assertion not an argument.

I disconnected and stopped paying when Jimmy Saville made posthumous headlines.

I still benefit from roads eventho I rarely use them.

You may not watch Fox News and Murdochs other trash propaganda companies without paying the BBC.
