So the television licensing people are heavy-handed? Well, then, let the license fee be made voluntary, with those who chose to pay it enrolled as members of the BBC Trust.
The Trustees would be elected by and from among the members in each of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the nine English regions (with their boundaries adjusted to reflect those of the historic counties). Members would vote for one candidate by means of an X, and the top two would be declared elected at the end. A Chairman would be appointed by the relevant Secretary of State with the approval of the relevant Select Committee.
All would hold office for a fixed term of four years, and would have to be sufficiently independent that they could, in principle, serve on local authority remuneration committees.
The National Trust and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution not only survive, but thrive. So would the BBC.
That is the policy of the British People's Alliance. Unions and others, do get in touch - info@britishpeoplesalliance.org.uk
