Ive got a solution...
...that has far less administrative overhead.
1. Scrap the TV license. Make the Basically Boring Channel collect their own subscriptions.
2. Make sweeping cuts to train fares and/or allow people on jobseekers allowance to use the trains for free. Can't get to interviews if you can't pay the £20 fare.
3. Force the beeb to flog the Top Gear brand to Amazon.
4. Make the bogs on the trains coin operated. Not only will this keep the toilets in a usable state by keeping out tramps and vomiting pissheads. It'll pay for the cleaning services they clearly dont have on the trains.
This will also precent fare dodgers hiding in there when the conductor appears.
5. Force the train companies to operate under the assumption that there will inevitably be a small percentage of people that dodge the fares rather than spending more than the fare is worth on prosecution.
