Taken from the BBC's website when I was looking at the faq's on the worldcup broadband service:


Q: Will it cost anything? ie is this for all UK broadband users, or only licence-fee paying UK broadband users?
A: It is a free service. You do however need a TV licence. In the long run, it may well be that the government decides the TV licence needs to be replaced by a more relevant funding model, one not solely based on television ownership. For instance, it is considering things such as a tax on personal computers.


A tax on personal computers? What next FFS? Please can this Government be replaced ASAP Unfcuking believable

LOL what a load of tosh. Firstly can you post links to where you get your info from saying they are only going to tax ownership of a PC when they replace TV's for the reception of TV programmes because thats not what it hints at on the BBC website that I took the original quote from?

Enjoy what superb facilities? The NHS? I just had to get BUPA cover so my Mrs could have her wisdom teeth extracted privately because the NHS waiting list was so ridiculously long she couldn't bear the pain that long as well as suffer heavy infection plus the treatment she was going to receive was third rate. They weren't going to supply a bed for after the operation, merely a chair to wait in while the anaesthetic wore off She had the operation within a week of me getting BUPA cover and after the operation she was in a bad way due to the complexity of the operation and the fact they had to give her adrenaline to get her to wake up from the anaesthetic as well as heavy blood loss which needed to be replaced with several drips. She most definately needed a bed and that is what she had including her own room, a TV and privacy and private bathroom. The NHS would have just stuck her in a chair in a corridor in that state FFS. No wonder people die from routine procedures on the NHS

Workers pay enough tax already, especially when in the top bracket yet the tax we pay for services such as the NHS are a waste of time as the service is pathetic and to get a decent service you have to pay a surgeon to do it privately Its time the NHS was scrapped and a medical system like the states have is put in place.

The current Government really couldn't manage a p!ss up in a brewery

Unfortunately Pete I am not wealthy, I just pay my employer an amount of money each month to top my BUPA cover up to cover my family. I don't pay that money because I can afford to but because it was the only choice. I had little choice but to do this because the Mrs has already been waiting months for the op and had many more months to wait before the NHS could do it even though she was in need of the operation straight away. The NHS is useless and I can talk from a far more serious personal experience than just long waiting lists. Currently there might as well be no NHS because lots of people are now seeking alternative ways to get treated, either through private treatment or by going abroad. Labour haven't improved it at all, its as bad now if not worse than its ever been and after all these years in power that has nothing to do with inheriting it from a Tory Government! Labour have done **** all to improve it apart from bullsh!t the public into trying to make them think they have. Problem is you have been suckered in by them hook line and sinker.

Labour has had plenty to do with my lack of wealth thats for sure as the taxation rates are far higher than what they would be under the Conservatives. I am fed up like most other hard working tax payers of having to pay tax for Labour to then give it through the benefit system to some bleeding heart immigrant who is only here on the sponge (eg Abu Hamza and his family who got thousands in benefit) or some stupid minority support group that Labour feels is deserving of Governement funding Labour OUT, Conservatives IN! And that is what will happen at the next general election. Labour are finished
