The bloke in the video comes over like a bit of a twit, but in this day and age it is ridiculous for people to be charged for a TV licence.

Im not sure if you watched the whole video, but the parts about the BBC making 1.4 billion in revenue from their commercial arm last year and the huge redundancy pay offs to staff then to re-employ them again on a freelance basis is a insult to TV licence payers.
if you google Alex Bellfield he is a journalist and radio presenter who has worked for many newspapers and radio stations including the BBC.
I sometimes think that he has an axe to grind but most of the things he says turn out to be true.
