    The right to watch free over the air tv. They need a licence to even have a tv in their home. Worse yet im told by my good friend in the U.K that some of those funds from licences go to support the BBC. Like the old saying goes.....the BBC has more Reds in it than the Kremlin!

    No he can't but he can provide plenty of fake news links showing how stupid he is.

    There is no way people getting free stuff could have built the tech that sent us to the moon. There would be no incentive. So these lefist fools don't realize, or are too stupid to realize, that taking away incentive guarantees mediocrity at best.
