Yes. The BBC can't act like a natural tax payer funded media outlet so it should be stripped of it's easy cash and learn to self fund.

In fairness, your idea of "neutral" is probably very different to most people's. For example, you might think that merely deporting immigrants and refugees is a neutral stance, as opposed to your own preference of killing them.

Good tv

If it's so great, surely it can stand up on its own merits? It should run adverts or become subscription based. If it's such good TV, people will be flocking to fund it.

People are forced to pay for it if they watch any live TV and if they don't the BBC will send their goons round. Thankfully, I don't help fund the BBC.

Missed this post, but this is so true. BBC are so blatantly left wing and have an anti Brexit agenda.

We get it for free in American. It cums with basic cable in most places.

They should charge for a streaming license as well.

Because it's an internet based service not TV. I don't see why someone who only watches Netflix should fund the BBC.

I don't have one! I just think a streaming licence would be a bad thing, especially as you already have to pay for Netflix.
