Boris Suggests He Could Scrap Tv Licence Fees
//The PM was asked by a worker in a factory whether a Tory government would abolish TV licence fees for everybody, Boris Johnson said: "Well, I don't think at this late stage in the campaign I'm going to make an unfunded spending commitment like that, but what I certainly think is that the BBC should cough up and pay for the licences for the over-75s as they promised to do.
"But at this stage we are not planning to get rid of all TV licence fees, though I am certainly looking at it."
He added: "But you have to ask yourself whether that kind of approach to funding a TV, a media organisation still makes sense in the long-term given the way other organisations manage to fund themselves - that's all I will say.//
Should he?

Now what Boris has to do in order to shut up the hand wringers and marxist luvvies, is announce that the licence to watch tv is to be scrapped and the idle, agenda riddled, benefactors will need to do some serious work if they want to live high on the hog as they do now. However, he must say, the tv licence will be replaced with a National Health licence. A photo ID licence for all adults over the age of 18. This will cost £100 per year and all proceeds will go directly to the NHS to provide the service that we all want instead of to the Beep Beep See to provide a service that we don't want. This kills two birds with one stone ......the marxist Islington luvvie set and sorts out the problem of who is treated and who is entitled to treatment. All children accompanied by an adult with the correct documentation are treated free of charge.

It is indeed Tora. Actually Johnson didn’t say he “might scrap” the licence fee he said that the system needed looking at. Which isn’t unreasonable. The current BBC charter has several years to run and nothing is likely to happen to the licence fee until then.
I wish the Tories wouldn’t give the impression tho that they want to kick the BBC at every turn. It’s one of Britain’s successes.
