TV Licence Fee

Another gem of the UK, the poll tax for the media, paying over £160 a year for the chance to watch repeats and rubbish on BBC1, BBC2 etc. with no possibility opting out unless you don't have a TV. It seems bizarre student houses have to have a licence per TV set whilst hotels only require one licence per property!!

At least you can watch TV happy that newsreaders earn over £300k a year. The funniest thing I saw was when they were interviewing a single mum who was desperate for the £10 tax credit that the Inland Revenue had not forwarded to her!! How they squirmed!!
