    It amazes me the Brits don’t just add “TV license” to the tax pile rather than keeping it an individual fee. It’s such a nonsense game to pretend there are people in the UK who never watch TV/BBC.

      They’ve been pretty conservative in terms of Europe. It’s the same mindset for people in the US who don’t want to pay for public transit because they “don’t live in the city” but sure love the subsidies those city workers provide in taxes to the state.
