Title: £10 TV licence fee?
Post by Administrator on Nov 19^th, 2014, 1:14pm

Tom Gutteridge has made his feelings known in this personal 'blog', here.

"Let’s be clear what this licence fee actually is – it’s a tax on the poor majority to pay for the viewing habits of the richer minority. Let’s admit it, and then let’s abolish it, and move on to find a new way of funding the BBC we all love. "

Tom Gutteridge was a News Trainee in 1973.
