It will be like the poll tax all over again. All the usual soap dodgers being chased for their £145, which ironically is about what they would have paid under the actual Poll Tax back in the day. If the BBC wanted to design a funding system that would make them utterly hated and despised, this is what they would come up with.<br /><br />Maybe thats why the Tories are suggesting it, knowing the BBC will lap it up. The Tories remember what the Poll Tax did to them, they are giving the BBC a poison pill.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-62201437142283457012015-07-19T11:22:35.025+01:002015-07-19T11:22:35.025+01:00Weapons grade stupidity.
