Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument
If it is so wonderful then people will surely choose to pay for it instead of charging those who dont use it
Ok, I'll bite here
If you live in some African countries, the BBC radio is the only non-dictatorship station you can hear, who is going to collect their subscriptions?
During the wars (inc Iraq and Falklands, many people only knew what was happening due to the BBC services), are you prepared to collect the money in Mosul?
The Open University is also a product of the BBC
So stop thinking that Eastenders and TOWIE are the whole world and look around you
So I take it your kids will never watch CBeebies or CBBC?
