BBC ONLY promote Labour/liberal/woke agendas and have blatantly done so since Blair. By funding the BBC through a licence fee is just totally out of line as the BBC is supposed to be neutral. It's appalling and we the people shouldn't have to pay for mostly rubbish/repeats and overpaid untalented presenters. Time to go commercial or subscription like any other TV channel.
But you have advertisements every 15 minutes, the BBC don't have ads.....I don't pay it so I don't give a fuck. I get letter through the door with big bold lettering saying I'm a bad guy....
You don't need a licence just because you have a tv in your home. You only need to pay the BBC licence fee if you watch or record 'live' broadcast programmes on your tv or any other device. Its as simple as that.
I don't watch bbc as it is awful. The problem is I watch other live tv that I need a licence for. That is not fair and the fee should only be for the beeb.
The licence fee was to pay for 2 ad free channels and 5 radio programmes, there are now dozens of both, translation services and an ever expanding world paid for by people who won't use 5% of what they churn out.
You forgot it was also so people all over the world could listen to the BBC so your funding for other countries to access it. They need to move into the 21st century and go subscription or get adverts either way I still wouldn't watch it.
Why can't they just do the right thing and scrap the Licence The BBC should be self-funded Either by subscriptions or advertising as other tv stations and platforms do. Then those that want to watch it can pay for it and those that don't Would not have to. It's worth mentioning that the BBC would actually raise Considerably more revenue by doing this.
the government will never loose their propaganda arm.. they will not make it right the way it should be, as they are determined to tax us to death (up to and including) so.. what they will do is make it a 'media tax'.. or put it on your council tax bill they WILL NOT force the BBC to a subscription service.. all 'opt-out' avenues will be shut off
Why do people keep moaning about the bbc but continue to hand over their money to them I haven’t paid for over 13 years and I haven’t missed the bbc one bit If enough people cancelled their licence the bbc would have no choice but to ditch their protection racket and go commercial to compete with the likes of Prime , Netflix in the real world Either stop paying or stop complaining about it
Exactly. All people need to do is stop watching/recording live programmes on their tv/devices then they no longer require the licence. Unlike the French who got rid of their licence fee in 2022 the uk will never abolish the fee.
what a "stupid idea"! what do they think the british public ,s reaction is going to be to this? the bbc won,t win this one especially when another million say "no" to the increase? bad market research!! 😂😂😂
Why should I be taxed to fund the BBC when I don’t watch it or support it. BBC needs to be a subscription service like everyone else. They would have a WORLD market of subscribers not just UK citizens who are suffering a cost of living crisis
The very concept of being forced by a company which is backed by politicians to pay a tax in order that the company does not have to live in the real world is beyond obscene and akin to living in a police state. The only reason perhaps that politicians continue to renew the charter is that the B.B.C. is of use when a nuclear war begins, other than that politicians just look suspicious .
Yes, it should be scrapped . Not right that it applies to other live tv channels, but the money all goes to the BBC. And as you rightly say, programmes are often poor. Make BBC a Public News Service. All rest of programmes can be a subscription offering.
Hello there how do there think that disabled people who live in supported living accommodation & who are on benefits because we can't work to pay it because I don't think that is not fair that vulnerable people who could use that much money for something else instead of paying for a piece of paper because that is all it is a very very expensive piece of paper
You have to pay council tax of around £2000, but I don't have children, drive or visit a library but I still have to pay for it and for £159 a year or 50p a day, it's cheap if you look at Sky, Virgin or Netflix. If you don't watch then don't pay it, but stop this continued moaning.
Nobody is forcing you to buy a tv and watch live broadcasting. Refusing to pay the tv licence fee is the equivalent of buying a car and running it on the road and refusing to pay the road tax!
GBNews would be happy if they could reach viewing figures that Strictly has. Kevin stepped back from criticising Strictly as he knows its the BBC flagship show with millions of viewers, but Alex continues with her anti BBC crap. If you don't want to watch BBC you don't have to buy a license, if they raise the cost, you have the choice to have one or not.
No you're wrong. You still need a TV licence to watch any live TV. Even if you don't watch the BBC. That's the point and that's why people want the BBC to be a subscription service.
Should the TV licence fee be scrapped?
Most definitely
Of course
Yes!!!
Yep
Absolutely
If the fee was £15 it would be too much.
I stopped watching BBC years ago. Nothing there
It’s useless
Why not make it Subscription only not just in the UK but world wide. Why should the US watch for free?
didnt the yanks revolt against the uk due to "no taxation without representation"...?
SCRAP THE LICENCE FEE! 😡
They revolted because they weren't getting anything for their money. The licence fee gives you access to live broadcasting.

They can put it up as much as they want, I don't pay
Cancel your license 😊
did it many years ago...never missed it... 😜
Time to stop paying for it i don't pay for it get rid of it
It needs to be Abolished.
The BBC needs to fund itself via advertising like very other channel. No special deal for the governments propaganda department.
BBC ONLY promote Labour/liberal/woke agendas and have blatantly done so since Blair. By funding the BBC through a licence fee is just totally out of line as the BBC is supposed to be neutral. It's appalling and we the people shouldn't have to pay for mostly rubbish/repeats and overpaid untalented presenters. Time to go commercial or subscription like any other TV channel.
France abolished their licence fee in 2022. Macron promised to get rid of it if he was re-elected. Their fee was 138 euros.
They don't want to make their own cash. It's easier to threaten people until they pay up.
More will cancel
I'm from the US, what is a TV license? Here in the US we get our major networks free over the air.
But you have advertisements every 15 minutes, the BBC don't have ads.....I don't pay it so I don't give a fuck. I get letter through the door with big bold lettering saying I'm a bad guy....
A swindle

I Don't pay Jimmy Saville, s friends, end of 😂
You don't need a licence just because you have a tv in your home. You only need to pay the BBC licence fee if you watch or record 'live' broadcast programmes on your tv or any other device. Its as simple as that.
It’s just another tax on an already overtaxed public Scrap it they can advertise same as everyone else.
Yes 100%.
just shut down the BBC
I don't watch bbc as it is awful. The problem is I watch other live tv that I need a licence for. That is not fair and the fee should only be for the beeb.
Stop paying them people do yourselves a favour and keep your money in your pocket

If they thought I would pay any thing there live in cloud cookoo land
Why can't they just do the right thing and scrap the Licence

Yep makes you wonder what the kids are going to pay in the future.
“Government will look to block the increase”. This utterly useless government of ours couldn’t block a drain.
BBC own uktv and they show adverts so let's have BBC do the same and scrap the license fee.

Get your granny set up, and stop funding this madness.
