    so I have to pay £6 a year to subsidise people who want an idyllic lifestyle in the country but can't get the internet there ?

    love to see them get taxed more to pay for cleaning up the tube and see how they take it.

    ridiculous.

      Other nuggets:

      -OFCOM will regulate people who file share and prosecute them

      -They'll be aiming to switch all radio over to DAB

      -The secretive IWF will get even more power

        Once again this Government shows its complete ineptitude and inability to deal with anything properly.

          ...and shows quite how backward we are when it comes to technology.

          We can't even get cable in our town, let alone fibre-optic internetz!

                The current government have invested so heavily in online solutions to their different departments, without first realizing that everyone actually needed internet access to use them.

                So, we get to pay even more tax to fix up their mistakes - Bravo!

                Let's not even get into the old school folk who refuse point blank to use such features, or how faceless our government sectors already are.
