End TV tax!!!!! Why should a whole nation be forced to buy an TV entertainment package with the threat of criminalisation, fine or jail time if they fail to pay?? This is in the united kingdom of great Britain and Northern Ireland not a communist country or a dictatorship. Why is this acceptable?????? The only thing people can say in defence of the BBC is "its good value for the money you pay" No its not if you dont use it. What they really mean is, if i get you to pay for something i want when you dont, it makes it good value for me because you are paying half my subscription for me.
