So, taking money without asking for a service I don't use. To me that is theft. And of course if it comes into force and I refuse to pay it. I will be prosecuted for trying to stop the aforementioned theft!

They wont get away with linking it to Council tax. If they try any kind of compulsory levy regardless of consumption there will be trouble.

In business you produce a product that somebody wants and then they pay for it. The BBC has a different business model, you produce something that few people want and then make everybody pay for it?

No, any unpaid TV part of the total should be subject to the current collection and enforcement arrangements. Unfortunately, and wrongly, such a report from the cronies and the crazies in the House of Lords, is likely to carry some weight. I reckon we are all being put on notice that this is likely to be the "solution" to the BBC's funding problems. If it happens, stand by for even more dire "entertainment" output and even more biased news and current affairs programmes.

"...means-tested to make it fairer..." NO. A usage-based fee would be the fairest way. I don't watch TV so should not pay anything. A fee tacked on to council tax would cause me to withhold part of my payment, out of principal (I despise what the BBC represents) and if after 50 years of abiding by the law, I have to become a criminal, so be it😡
