The UK Is Getting More Authoritarian Every Day (TV Licenses For ALL!)

The Neil McCoy-Ward Show

The UK government is at it again—this time, they’re considering forcing Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ users to pay the BBC’s TV license fee. Even if you never watch the BBC, they want your money. This isn’t just about funding a failing broadcaster; it’s about control.

For years, the BBC has relied on intimidation—sending threatening letters, deploying inspectors, even pushing for jail time—all to enforce a tax that fewer and fewer people want to pay. And now, with their revenue tanking, they’re scrambling for new ways to extract money from the public.

But let’s step back—while they focus on squeezing taxpayers, the UK economy is crumbling. Businesses are shutting down, job losses are at record highs, and the cost of living keeps rising. Instead of fixing real issues, the government is obsessed with propping up a system that the public is actively rejecting.

This is about more than just TV—it’s about choice. And right now, that choice is being taken away.
