Licence Free 10 years thanks 😂😂
20 years here!!!
Every letter RTS...GFY 😂👍👍 ( go fund yourself 😂)
@@lordveteran9126Never return to sender because that proves that you live at that address.
@@mollienight its addressed to the resident...it proves nothing..
@@lordveteran9126It's addressed to the occupier, what you are doing is proving that someone lives there.
Scrap the tv license fee and the BBC , both not fit for purpose
Radio 3 is OK if TV was like that, it would be world class again !!!
As soon as those people who still pay stop paying the BBC won't go away
what
Nope they will fight to get the laws changed to require licences for things that currently dont. Either including streaming, Internet, or a general media tax.
Best result would be them sticking around as completely advertiser funded.
Tha bbc will hang around some way or another.
I live in rural southern Scotland. As far as TV goes, we effectively have no local news services. We used to have Border Television - from Carlisle. A broadcasting service so crap that when people were bidding millions for services like Granada, no-one at all bid a penny for them. Eventually subsumed into Tyne Tees TV, which essentially meant it disappeared.
We've had murders here we'd never have known about if it wasn't for an enthusiastic (commercial) local radio station. We're officially covered by BBC Scotland - but that coverage is such a joke I've had to point my aerial towards Northumberland to get a signal.
ITV? Fine if you don't mind 5 minutes of advertising for every 10 minutes of viewing. And you can still whistle for any news that doesn't involve Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Even streaming is problematic. Where I live, 30 mb/s is the best any provider can offer. The spinning circle on my screen suggests we're not getting even that most of the time. My son lives further out, and has had to resort to satellite Internet despite living one mile away from a 'full fibre' box.
My point being that not everyone has a serious choice to avoid broadcast TV. But that broadcast TV is so crap, most people here view the licence fee the same way people used to regard the Window Tax - a charge for services ill--provided..
or maybe not ....@@ruspj
@@ruspj I have no problem with the bbc going fully commercial and not having to pay for a service I've not used for many years.
Remember these words and share...... If you do not watch or record live broadcast TV or use BBC iPlayer then you do not require a TV licence 😊easy
…and don’t contact them to cancel
And there is no obligation to tell them what you do or don't do. It's none of their business.
If you pay via direct debit some people are upto six months ahead in payments so sometimes worth that call to cancel and ask for any refund
@@laceandwhisky I see your point but if the goons know you as Legal Occupier then contacting them will reveal your true identity. No contact whatsoever is my way of dealing with them
After July this year I become licence free. I'll never buy a license again. Conning bastards.
Why not close it down now and get a refund, as I did?
@@davidlacey-goodman4711 because my / our licence is in my late mothers name, I don't want my name on their records is the reason. Cheers 🍻
@@peterward3965 You can still cancel under her name. Just send a copy of the death certificate. Far easier to cancel that way also.
I don’t want the licence fee to be abolished, I want the whole BBC to be abolished.
Why ? (if you don't want to watch the BBC ... Don't watch it and save the License fee)
@@JulieFromYork The BBC is still a propaganda organisation (MI7), controlling the agenda and dictating the tone of the news market in cooperation with Reuters and the few other agencies. Taxes still subsidise their activities and they still poison our minds.
100% correct
When I read “BBC strike” I just started laughing hysterically! 😂 absolutely hilarious! Thanks for that.
I cancelled mine about four years ago. Did it all legal. Best thing ever and saved myself a few quid in the bargain. To all those out there who are scared of doing it, DON'T BE. I don't miss live TV in the slightest. Anything I want to watch, I can do through here (YT) or from my own collection. Watching Jon's videos in the first place gave me the required info I needed beforehand.
Consider getting an Apple TV media player. You can get TH-cam on your TV. There are non-live channels that are free to watch, as well as subscription services and pay-per-view.
I've got a letter saying will you be in march 26...I won't! I'm on holiday! It says we may or may not call! They are a total embarrassment won't get a penny out of me EVER!
We've had same letter today with date for visit being 29th March sane as you we are never giving bbc another penny to waste on stupid virtue signalling people or projects
I've had 4 of those types and they never turned up once which peed me off as wanted to give the licence goon a piece of my mind before slamming the door in its sad face.
@@brimcilroy9002 this will be our 3rd visitation letter then on top of them we get the normal letter every couple of months you would think with postage going up and apparently millions of letters sent how can bbc justify cost
They never actually turn up.
SNAP! I got the same!
Would never pay the Bugger Boy's Corporation.
Finally moved into my new home and registered that i dont need tv licence, will never get one again
Big mistake, why on earth would you engage with these demons at all?
You aren't obliged to tell them anything. Like Bob Marley said don't worry about a thing!!!
It would be the same as registering you don't need a gun licence too.
At this point the TV license checks are a form of ‘stalking’. You couldn’t pay me to watch the BBC.
Every time the fee goes up, I save myself even more money. 😁
I just had a sorry we missed you Card put through the door saying I missed one of their tv inspectors on inspection of my ring doorbell cam it was delivered by CALISEN energy based in Manchester , which is a metering company ???? Why on earth is a metering company delivering TV licence rubbish ??
Saves money if the energy company were doing reads in the area anyway. Seeing as licencing don't have staff
Data protection breach? I would do an SAR on that regarding the data shared with a 3rd party.
That doesn't sound right. Keep the door shut, energy has nothing to do with tvl anyway
@@susie5668 They are only delivering the letters not trying to sell you a licence but should Capita or the BBC be handing your details to a 3rd party that is not royal mail?
Legally don't pay it,i hope all is well with your relative
I legally don't pay for a gun licence...
My license expires 31st of this month and already I've had two reminders!! Think they're getting desperate. Won't be renewing this time or anytime soon.
They are making cuts but raising the fee???? How does that compute????
In tune with everything else in the UK nowadays
They are making cuts to save money. So raising the licence fee brings in more money. . Easy really.
Who else is disappointed that the inspectors didn't come on 15th January?
Been waiting 10 years for a visit, despite the monthly letter of empty threats.
lol. 😂
Im from Blackpool and have never had a tv licence. Ive tried to educate alot of people but they dont take it in and they are too scared to not pay up.!! I have tried.! 😪🙄😪
I do not have a TV, I have seen BBC programs at my son's house. It is mostly repeats of repeats.
Same for me when visit girl friend. She is very selective on what she puts on when i am there as MSM news, trash programmes and general bs gets me irritated. We gave been muting adverts for years, but now even the flashing pictures are driving me nuts and i tune it to a blank channel for a while. Its getting worse, hilleriously laughable in places and becomming more intense as broadcasters get more and more desperate for attention.
@@HowardKlein1958 Agree wholeheartedly. Once you stop watching it a TV in the background in a friend's house or in a pub is like a mosquito in your ear!
You're a good man, hope your uncle is doing OK. Appreciate all your posts.
Loads of good radio stations round Oxford , BBC not one of them.
Lots of us in my generation listened to pirate radio, relishing the fact that we were technically breaking the law in doing so. Lol.
they been getting high views due to gladiators and they cancel this week's show what is wrong with them makes no sense
Would anybody notice ?
Wpuld be great if they stopped the licence. I reckon so many of the woke idiots they have would have to be sacked if they had to start counting coins
May be Gary will leave then his pay will be near to 2 million again we could all do his job for that even a 4 year old
My daughter was on our local BBC news so I used IPlayer to watch it at my mums who has a licence. They then sent me an email today to say I need a licence as I accessed iPlayer without a licence. Blooming cheek, rang them up and said take my email off your system and don’t send me anymore stupid emails.
I got a letter today saying i've been watching bbc iplayer, even though i haven't haha.
Could you forward that to Jon? I'd be interested in seeing that.
How would they even know?? What a load of BS
Next you will get a letter saying you're thinking in watching BBC Iplayer.
I had a lovely letter from Ross McTaggart today threatening a visit from their "officers."
I wonder what happened to Scott Robson? 🤔
Sales goons.
Keep it up mate, you’re an inspiration to all. Haven’t payed for what I don’t receive for 10 years, was a little worried until I found your channel 3 or 4 years ago, and you just confirmed all that I believed was true. I now have absolutely no doubt I’ve been doing the right thing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CJC.
I now love to receive their self invitations monthly just for a good laugh at their empty scare tactics. Surely their an embarrassment to them selves.
26 years ago I stopped paying for the shite TV licence!
Increase it all they like... noone I know pays it..😂😂 letters get RTS ...GFY 👍👍👍👍
Is it normal in Spain for people to park in the middle of the car park when it is full?
If a car fits somewhere, its a parking space
plus hospital parking is free as well
All very underhanded. How do the BBC get away with it???!!! 🙄🤯
I watch bbc have no licence for 6 years and the picture looks great
Haha. I say to people my tv works perfectly fine without one.
Exactly this, UK residents who pay the licence fee are getting less and less value for their money, yet the BBC is buying up third party companies left right and centre who are then making more and more profits for the BBC... the big question has to be where are all the profits that those subsiduaries are making going, because it's certainly not going on quality programmming in the UK?
Bauer media brought out a lot of local radio stations and streamlined into their Greatest Hits brand.
Sorry forgot to add this Oxfordshire.
Those that go on strike are the ones that would not survive in the real world ... still trying to cling on to the 'Gravy Train'.
It isn't just the ones on strike. Very few, if any, BBC employees would survive in the real world.
If the BBC has a series of multiple commercial companies, making billions of pounds, 1. Where's the money going? 2. Why isn't it ploughed back into the BBC to alleviate the costs to the viewing public? 3. Why oh why are people paying a licence fee when they're making huge profits. 4. Why are the BBC screaming poverty when they can use the licence fee to purchase other production companies? 5. If they're using licence fee money to buy companies for investment, are the British public also part owners?
"Corporation is making plans to trim staff. So staff go on strike to helpfully give corporation a clearer idea of who they can survive without.." Excellent use of forward thinking by those striking staff there. Like turkeys voting for Christmas.
The population at large could survive without the BBC as a whole. If our ancestors survived until 1922 without the BBC, I'm sure we could do likewise.
It the TV licence needs to be stopped it is an unfair tax for rubbish
Come on you lot kick some arse and get it banned
They have £10 billion of our money in the bank, somewhere!
It's in a bank called BBC Studio's. Use public funds and licence fee money to purchase companies but accidently put BBC studios as the owner, it was a typo honest!!
I got one of them visit date letter Ol Chill was on about 2 days after he put it out.
So i returned to sender stating.
"I do not require nor want your service, so all future mail you send will be incinerated".
Nice note on the back of the letter.😂
No need to pay
Just don't pay. Do nothing, just cancel. Nothing is easier than doing nothing...
I got my "will you be in..." Mine was 15th march.... Nothing!! Their threats don't scare me but can see how they can worry people
Great work chill, hope famliy ok, yes your right, every one leaving, BBC now, money talks
example one ....Ricky,,,Gervais, they can not afford him, plus he hats BBC now, he never work for them again,
I cancelled my loicense a while ago and haven't bothered to do the noTV thing. They sent a red slip of paper to my door saying one of their goons had come to check up. But I was in all day and never heard them.
Licence free 8 years thanks
The only reason our below par local bbc service is still here is the 10% offshore tax that they will provide for all of the bbc and staff for tax dodging as a company what’s worse is it’s all legal while they drain you of cash 👍🇬🇬
I find it amusing that BBC programmes are available on Netflix, ITV X and many other license free program apps. So I can’t understand their stance on tv licensing fees! They are more likely to make more money becoming a subscription service provider, but then again I suppose the government would not have the control over the BBC that they have now!
i lived in Australia, they find it baffling that we pay it
They still pay for their tv stations, but it comes from general taxation.
Remember if they knock on your door.... Say NOTHING... Just smile and close the door... You can also put a sign on your door (see eBay etc) no trades person or cold callers no junk mail... You can report them to trading standards... 😊😊😊
God bless you all
There's a guy in our work who hates the BBC ,but now he supports it,due to his daughter getting a job there, so he's gone back to buying a tv licence after years of not needing one😢😢😢😂😂😂
Hey Larry, tell that guy that his personality is shallow and weak, and if we're you I'd keep your eye on him as he is the sort not only unreliable but not to be trusted as he has all the traits.
A number of readers admitted they don't have a TV licence. That's badly worded, it makes it sound like wrongdoing. Replace the word with: said, and it sounds different.
I have questions why are paying for a license? that all money goes to the BBC and we are getting stopped for watching other live tv channels who are independent (due to commercials ) as they don’t get nothing from the tv licence fee, as it all goes to the BBC, what gives them the right to tell use what channel we can watch ?
great point always been my thoughts why dont the other channels get together and fight the bbc for some of that cash or at least deny them any right to say who watches their channels when they are self supporting guess the bigger picture is more corrupt
Had my letter last week saying a visit has been authorised, struggled to sleep since 😜😂😂.
So, in a Spanish hospital car park, you don't have to park in one of the spaces and you can park in the middle of the road without getting clamped. I bet there are no parking charges either. Imagine what would happen in the UK if you did that, or parked with a wheel slightly over one of the lines of a parking space.
In Spain, if you can fit a car there, its a parking space.
And yep, no fees at all, been there all week for free
As far as I know, if you have a small shop and you have a radio playing in it, then the BBC wants you to pay a license for your radio. I am surprised they are not trying to make us pay for using our mobile phones.
Hiya..
Just a thought. Why is it that UKTV Gold is only available if you subscribe to Sky tv etc. So not right as its owned by the BBC and shows programs that the public have already paid good money for with the so called licence con..Plus all the other UKTV Channels like Dave and Yesterday that also shows BBC programs..
Love watching your updates on what the Nasty BBC are up to..
Phil'👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love Blackpool. I was there last year for a weekend and it’s an economically challenged area. People there can’t afford the TV licence anyway. It’s not a hard decision to pay a tenner a month for a streaming service instead of a tenner a month for the TV licence - you’d get more value for money paying for Netflix than watching BBC content. It’s amazing how better you feel without watching depressing EastEnders every day.
From Blackpool, waiting for my invite to Spain. Licence Free, tell you 'em don't want it - they don't bother you!
Then you can watch all you want...
Cant understand why people buy a licence, I haven't had one for over 5 years!!
Got to wonder how many people actually listen to local radio, especially the bbc stations.
i cancelled mine last month 😂 it felt great telling the guy at the end of the phone the reason why “because i don’t want to support the biased bbc who only aired one side of the icj hearing” totally disgusting, the bbc should be ashamed of themselves and there is no way i am giving them 1p of my hard earned cash
i already pay to watch tv with a media company and internet bbc can do 1 there is no way im paying twice to watch tv
And there is no obligation to
My respect for the BBC has gone from maximum to zero over the last year. 5 months in with no licence and no regrets 🙂
I’ve been licensed free for 14 years now. I actually spend more. Than the tv licence However I have far better quality tv to watch.
I offered two postings to this channel. No abuse, no bad language. Both have disappeared. I give up.
My old local station vanished a few years ago. They just merged into a big countrywide station with a local news/weather. BBC will do exactly the same.
Surely if the BBC are buying up these companies with our licence fee money .. shouldn't we have a share in them 😅
well dont have a licence ...
I don't watch telly anymore and haven't for donkeys years, its all a load of shite anyway !!
What an exotic location!
not a problem .... 5 years tv tax free.
They should change their name for a start it's a complete Lie .
The best advice in dealing with TVL at the door is treat them like you would a Jehovah's Witness - "no thanks, I'm not interested"
I only stopped paying for the licence last year but I banned Eastenders in my house over 20 years ago, I think I deserve reparations 😂
Smooth move BBC. Not going to backfire at all... 🙄
Have you parked your car in the middle of the road Jon? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I we have to pay, we should be given a choice as to which channel our money goes to. I never watch BBC so I should be able to nominate someone else.
Chilli for pm please the voice for the nation
Streaming is so much better. If I visit my mum and she has the tv on, I can’t believe how much drivel is on and loads of ads too! It’s awful.
Cancelling when it goes up. Dont use it anyway!
Licence free 5 years now.. . They will never get another penny out of me.
They can stick the TV licence where the sun don't shine
If you or I tried using another version of a company I’d “set up” purporting to be just an additional outlet for my main company yet sold on as an option I’d get shut down in the blink of an eye.
I am personally having a binge on perry mason and David Jansen as the fugitive. All on TH-cam 😂
There is a petition which the link is added to comments to abolish TV licence. Not that it will do anything!!!
Just abolish it yourself. It's easy, just don't pay.
I think the only disgrace I can think related to the BBC is, the amount of people who do not understand if you just ignore paying them and never talk to them they cannot do a damn thing about it.
why would a sentient being even watch the BBC? I do not understand my countrymen one bit.
Will not be Paying mine after this one expires❤😊 Happy Days
I'm feeling left out. I haven't had a licence for over 30 years. Never had any of those nice letters of any visits. 😅
You can have some of mine as I have well over 100 BS letters. 🙂
The dreaded hospital car park ... here's hoping things go well.
I watch anything I want. I don't watch the BBC.
The reason we have a BBC tv licence fee is because the 3 main establishment political parties (LibLabCon) want it. We won't get rid of the licence fee while those parties are in power.
They expect us to pay while they’re on strike? Laughable…..jog on beeb…
The de-regionalisation of radio is similar to how they amalgamated regional television, not that many years ago. No longer is there any localised flavour to broadcasts that cater to the people within certain areas who actually listen to/watch and felt that the broadcaster had a genuine interest in what was going on in their area. Instead it's all been homogenised into a bland, centralised, faceless corporate entity with no favour at all. For no other reason than them wanting to maintain the astronomical salaries of the, 'super star', main presenters and make even more money than they're already doing through their private enterprises that are funded with public money. Nothing but a publicly-funded scam that benefits a small handful of elites at the top of the dung-heap commonly known as the BBC.
buy a licence. and a top box says BBC. we have changed things around..
I won’t be paying it 😁
I read on X that Tim Davies is being questioned by a parliamentary committee tomorrow, should be interesting. John Nicolson M.P. has invited questions to be put forward for him to raise.
These things should be public knowledge months before it's being discussed. Top 100 questions posted by the public should get an answer. Top should be BBC Studios using the BBC name and where does the money go. How much money goes to employees not actually working and not on sick pay.
