'Our' (yuk) BBC has made some proposals to help staunch the flow of people not paying the annual license tax and to make mo' money!

The BBC has suggested the cost of the TV licence fee could be cut, in return for getting more people to pay the annual charge.

The corporation is also asking the government to take on the full £400m cost of the BBC World Service - a bill that used to be paid in full by government until 2014, when it transferred the responsibility to the BBC.

Other suggestions the BBC has made include opening up the iPlayer and BBC Sounds services to advertising-funded programmes from ITV, Channel Four and other broadcasters, as a way to help protect British content.

The BBC is also arguing that the fact its charter expires every 10 years means its existence is constantly under threat. It wants that system to be dropped so the organisation can be put on a more permanent footing.

What the BBC persistently fails to realise is that people are not dropping their licenses because of the cost but beause of the agendised nonsense that has gradually permeated the BBC over the last 20 years or so.

It's not about money - it's about content!

Basically these proposals, especially relating to the funding of the World Service, confirm that the BBC sees itself as an essential propaganda channel for communicating 'British values' - something that it can't do if no-one watches it and instead watch other 'propaganda' channels like RT or access 'dissenting' Internet news channels (like FNN) instead.

The charter should expire every 4 years on change of government, not dropped, and if there is advertising on the BBC then its license fee should be dropped altogether. The business model in the real-world is pay a subscription or put up with ads - not both.

The BBC is a dinosaur left over from a bygone age and soon it will be extinct because it has a pea-sized brain.
