Or we could just make it voluntary. No-one would pay. Would you pay your tax if it was voluntary?
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

When people say "we don't want the BBC to follow a subscription model because the content is so good we'd hate to see it falter" they are only destroying their own argument. If the content is good a subscription model would succeed. If the content is bad it wouldn't be missed if it didn't succeed.

If an adult was 'chatting' lovehearts to someone who says they are still at school, wouldn't you be concerned ?
I disengage, I turn the page. |

It does. It is that the cases are all different. It also learns. As we all ought to as time passes. Savile was the watershed. Trusted and revered by royalty and politicians he duped them all. Thatcher tried to get him a knighthood. So now the BBC has to find the balance between not acting precipitously and ensuring the least damage is done to its reputation. Not easy and in some eyes always a failure. Different in that one presenter works for a rival so the story is in the public interest.
