I HAVE just paid £150 for the renewal of the road tax on a small petrol car.

This is less than £157.50 for a TV licence. I can understand that the road tax goes to the up keep of the roads that the vehicle uses.

Why are those of us who don’t watch BBC TV and don’t listen to its radio programmes, still required to pay for it in the age of the internet?
