        @A_Liberty_Rebel @BanTheBBC I bet it will come out of taxation at this rate. The BBC won't just go over night!

        @BBCBreaking @julianhuppert Is this government intent on destroying the BBC? Certainly looks that way.

        @HungryHatter it's a cross party proposal, backed by labour as well... You think people should be jailed for non-payment? Even in principle?

        @julianhuppert If it's deliberate and continual non-payment and they're watching live television as opposed to catch-up, yes.

        .@BBCBreaking if the TV licence man knocks on your door, tell him you only watch it on catch-up on your computer, like Noel Edmonds.
