Abort and ban any existing and future plans for BBC "YouTube Tax" style funding — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.
No additional tax should be added to pay for the BBC. The British Public is already taxed enough. Subscription services are the norm. The BBC should change to that. Subscription services already cost a premium. No tax should be added for something people don't watch. The BBC needs to do better.
The license fee currently costs £180. That is already a lot of money for one person/household. The BBC should not be funded by charging the public additional tax on streaming/internet services that do not belong to the BBC. Furthermore, the TV licensing agency is an absolute disgrace to the public. Sending many harassing letters of false threats to multiple households. Waste of paper, poor use of funding, and bad for the environment. We do not need more tax on entertainment we already pay for.
