You can’t stream what is a simultaneous broadcast live; the only question being whether it’s a broadcast as defined by the Communications Act 2003 section 361. This defines a broadcast. And this is a wireless transmission.

Very soon, and before the 2037 charter, few channels will still be broadcast (because they won’t be ‘wireless’). Therefore, a tv licence won’t be required. Therefore, for the BBC to survive, from a legal perspective, it will either need to move to subscription or be funded directly by government.

Essentially, no you can stream everything without a licence except if 1 it’s a BBC programme on iplayer and 2 you’re watching it simultaneously with a broadcast. So, you can stream live except if it’s simultaneously on Freeview, Freevee, Freesat, or Skydish. Cont

Someone’s clearly had a sense of humour bypass - in which case it’s discriminatory against my culture of taking the ‘p’ out of politicians so can I complain about the writer for offending me?

Yeah, those supporting the misogynistic, theocratic, antisemitic homophobes who don’t support individual liberties like the Palestinians are no longer friends as must reach the very low bar of at least supporting liberal democracies in disputes. Fortunately l, that’s only one neighbour blackballed.
