yes i know my licence is only for the privilege to have a tv that receives signals and digital content (as such) but the BBC are funded from the revenue.

the tv licence is a stealth tax, nothing more nothing less. what do they actually do with the rest of the revenue that they dont give to the BBC?
Prop up government officials with handouts, the very reason nobody will tackle the issue.
