They charge you a license to listen to a radio? Geordie, let me introduce you to a concept called "freedom"...

 

No. They used to.

 

Before 1971 the government decided to fund the BBC by a radio licence instead of commercials. This lasted until 1971 and BBC television and radio still has no commercials but we still have to pay a TV licence. :ninja:

Clive forgot to mention they are looking for ways to charge for viewing TV on computers ;)
