yes ... thats right ... it'd be really great if the english licecnce fee payers could shell out on yet more programming for scotland.
how about a level playing field where your �135.50 gets you exactly the same level of service wherever you are in the UK. then for those nations, or politicians in nations, who want more can throw some money in the pot to fund these little add-ons. of course taking the argument further, the corporation ought to spread the jobs around the country more too, which in turn would make it more reflective of the entire country as opposed to being so rooted in london
Maybe how I said it gave you the wrong impression or possibilly you need to book an appointment at Specsavers - it would be benefitial to England because the license fee would have to decrease because we would just be paying for English service!
What a crap arguement and indeed thread. All very scaremongerish isn't it? If anything the fee would go up because there would be around 4 million less Liscence (sp?) fee payers.
I doubt the licence fee would (/could) go up in England to compensate. I'd imagine that once you knock off BBC Scotland's running costs & cost of Scottish only services, spread the network commissions that come from Scotland around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, you could probably plug any gap left by scrapping either BBC Three or BBC Four. It's any planned 'SBC' / BBC Scotland that would lose out overall.
