Bye-bye, BBC!

Don't get too excited; they're not going anywhere. I, however, have finally cancelled my Sky tv subscription and will be removing the cables and boxes from my house so that I am no longer legally obliged to pay for a television licence. 

It's a tiny victory; one family's middle-fingered salute to the BBC in the face of their recent appallingly biased news coverage and censorship by omission of key events. While I can't exactly imagine mournful howls echoing through BBC HQ, I do feel much happier knowing that I am no longer contributing to the public funding of a body which has failed miserably in its supposed endeavour to produce fair, impartial and balanced news coverage. 

Luckily, as it turns out, you don't need a tv licence to watch Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or blu-rays and DVDs. Ha.
