    BBC Monitoring does not receive any funding from the licence fee; instead it is funded directly by its stakeholders as well as by subscriptions from official and commercial bodies throughout the world. The principal stakeholder is the Cabinet Office and subscriptions are also received from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence and the BBC World Service. Other customers include other government departments, private sector and third sector bodies.
    Not true any more

    Labour started this and Con-Dems are driving Coach & Horses.

    It's bad for RTE. The Licence Fee here will now be a tempting target.

    It certainly can't be referred to as a "BBC" licence fee anymore.

    Get rid of it, it has matched ITV in a race to the bottom, so let them grub for their money there

    Granted I don't pay the UK licence fee but I would prefer to see the current BBC ouput opposed to the crap ITV dish out.
