    The BBC rule the whole of the British isle. They are the most powerful tv corporation in the Northern hemisphere. Even Itv and ch4 and ch5, even Sky is under BBC watchful eyes.

    If we don't pay our tv licence, atleast four big beefy guys with sofisticated devices come around to your home and demand payment or a valid licence. If you don't provide any of these, you are fucked and end up in court where you end up with a conviction(Hense a Criminal Record) Once you have one of those, it is near impossible to get a job. I am one of the lucky ones without one of them. I pay my taxes to the BBC because even TOny Blair is powerless against the BBC.

    ANother worse thing about Britain is everything in London's future is bloody expensive. I am not sure I want the olympics coming to london anymore. It is going to cost 8 Billion to build all out of tax payers money. There just isn't justice out there. Perhaps England needs a bloke to fight for our freedom.

    It's to fund the public broadcasting services of the BBC. Actually it's a very impressive model, perhaps the finest in the world, which has created a media institution that is almost entirely independent of both commercial and state interests. I'm a big fan of PBS and I certainly don't mind forking out a little money to fund it....

    There just doesn't seem to be any end to the increase of tv licence fee. First it is no more than sixty pounds a year,now it is on its way to 130 pounds and climbing. As I am unemployed I join Easy cash entry. I think that the easiest way that the tv licence can be destroyed is if BBC get a few timeshared hours with some quiz channels.

    Okey back to topic:

    Another worst thing about Britain and am sure I am not alone,

    What do you bring when you go walking:( The weather always changes and you get caught in different weather in a small space of time. Especially in the Welsh Mountains.
