As a UK taxpayer whose broadband charges are about to rise 30%, you'll
excuse me if I don't. But gov.uk would probably take more notice of
listeners/customers anyway.

Do not mix both problems...

BBC world service is a real service for a lot of people around the world.
In a lot of countries it is difficult to get real information about what
is occurring on earth...

The fact that taxes are about to raise in UK is probably due to the fact
that companies did not pay enough taxes in the past...

So why should the British [UK] Taxpayers Pay For
The News and Information of Other Nations ?

Shouldn't the Citizens-of-the-World "UN"
Be Paying for the BBC then . . .

Maybe the British don't want to live in a world full of idiots. The
World Service is something they can be proud of.
