New TV Licensing laws means BBC's iPlayer will cost us £145 a year
From the 1st of September the crafty buggers have found new ways to sponge money out of us.
Dubbed the 'iPlayer Loophole' - these new rules mean no longer can we catch up on programs from the iPlayer unless we fork out for a TV license. At a whopping £145 a year, that's not a small amount of cash!
Should be noted that the change only effects the BBC's catch up service, with their rivals' catch up services not being affected with the change.
The move comes as the government promised to close the loophole that cost the around £150 million a year - because selling media across the globe doesn't get them enough nowadays, even if Chris Evans has fucked Top Gear.
In reality the Beeb has lost a huge chunk of money though, by agreeing to let the oldies watch TV without a license.
Just a quick number crunch here; the over 75s getting free TV costs them £750 million a year, and people watching a cheeky bit of 'Strictly' online cost them £150 million a year. Now I'm no expert in Maths, but it seems that once again us youngens will be paying for the older generation, cheers Nan.
