The TaxPayers’ Alliance (TPA), a UK pressure group campaigning for a low-tax society, has called for the part privatisation of the BBC and the scrapping of the “outdated” licence fee.

In a new report (pdf) released on Tuesday, the TPA said that “a part privatisation of the BBC would abolish the outdated licence fee and see the broadcaster funded by a direct government grant.”
