The left-wing UK government is reportedly planning to introduce an internet tax to prop up the financially struggling BBC public broadcaster.
Currently, everyone who watches broadcast television in Britain must pay the government an £180 ($239) annual licence fee, whether they watch the BBC or not. The fee was originally used to fund the BBC’s radio broadcasts, but was later expanded to incorporate TV following the Second World War. Now, amid the rise of streaming services, the left-wing Labour Party government is said to be planning on extending the effective tax to the internet.
Carney’s minions are salivating.
