Haven't had a TV licence for 20 years. I don't miss it. I did see some television while on holiday a few years back, and the wall-to-wall Covid fear-porn from the BBC was truly disgusting - and mostly wrong.
I completed the online form stating that i did not watch live tv, and they still attempted to take the money from my bank account. Thankfully, my bank stopped them from essentially stealing my money.
If you don't watch live broadcasts, BBC channels or access BBC i-player on your devices you have NO OBLIGATION to pay the licence. Simply DO NOT pay it. Do NOT engage in any of the correspondence. They CANNOT force you to pay. They CANNOT access your home. They CANNOT prove you are watching tv. Please stop worrying and stop paying for the propaganda.
100% correct. You don't have to give up watching, just watch via catch up and in the case of iplayer stuff it often gets uploaded elsewhere too (bbc news is on youtube for example).
Never watch the BBC or listen the radio anymore used to be great years ago but its so far from the public if the turned it all of tomorrow no one would miss it. Its like this tory government under the Indian useless and we are paying hughly for it.

A bit like council tax which keeps going up, like a minimorgage.
The sickening greed of the bbc and its employees is truly nauseating.
Its good thing. They're super desperate if they made this kind of move.
Haven’t paid this tax in 5 years. Haven’t watched a second of live tv or the Wokist bbc in that time and don’t miss it.
Woman with the bob hat was brilliant,,get her on again..
There was a time when I would have defended the BBC to the hilt. When I was young, they made quality programmes and it was wonderful to have two TV channels with no advertising. Having rendered themselves unwatchable through poor quality programmes and relentless anti-British woke propaganda, I can no longer support them.
My reasons exactly. Well said.
@iainsan bang on 👍 35-40 years ago, up to 85 % of what I watched on TV came from the BBC. Today, across all channels, it barely reaches 5 % with the BBC not even reaching 1 %. Utter woke crap
My view exactly.
Totally agree, it's utter trash now. Ashamed it carries the word British in it's acronym!
They used to tell you the news with no emotion, they left that up to you. Now they are a propaganda machine - Goebals would have been jealous!
The BBC license fee. The true meaning of vicious extortion.
Er, No, that was The Krays
@@babetopaz Yep
😱 the British Bashing Corporation. So woke they can’t sleep. 👏
So woke they are pretending to be asleep.
or the Black Broadcasting Crap
Bux Boxx Corx
I think of it now as, Blacks Before Caucasians!🤣
Licence holders down by 500,000 to 24.3 million from last year
Needs to be stopped , voluntary only waste of money
I've not paid it for years...Best move ever
Opt out and watch online.
I never paid
That is ridiculous! That should be free
Put the woke out of a job DONT PAY !!!
Stop paying it.
The problem will go away
The problem will come to your doorstep... in the form of bailiffs
@@vg6761 ignore this guy, nobody will come to your door! you do not have to pay it! he supports nonses
@@vg6761 Who have no right of entry without a court warrant. I literally work in the UK police service and i've never been to one of these "TV license enforcement" visits. I don't wish to either!
In the unlikely event bailiffs came to my door, i'd just ignore them. Under normal circumstances they have no power to do anything other than post a letter through the letterbox or knock on the door, call you etc.
Stream all your entertainment for free online , F all these woke channels
I don't watch and pay license for 20 odd years! Have I missed anything important?? I don't think so.
Abolish the TV licence
Keep the money in your pockets
Haven't had a TV licence for 20 years. I don't miss it.
I did see some television while on holiday a few years back, and the wall-to-wall Covid fear-porn from the BBC was truly disgusting - and mostly wrong.
No, you're wrong, look the data up, I bet you're a Brit Trumper?
Good to know that you know more about vaccination than Pasteur and Jenner ! Ignorance like yours,will kill people.
I completed the online form stating that i did not watch live tv, and they still attempted to take the money from my bank account. Thankfully, my bank stopped them from essentially stealing my money.
Doesn't affect me I never buy one. Nor should anybody !!!
If we all stop paying, what are they going to do?
Watching TV off a antenna in the United Kingdom should be free and no one should have to pay for it.
What an out of date service ! Time to close most of it down.
Thank goodness I gave up the TV 3 years ago. I won't subject myself to WOKE propaganda.
Describe Woke please
BBC has recorded an overall profit of £227 million ($314.2 million) for the financial year 2020/2021,
never had one never will
They can do nothing just don't pay, Don't let them into your house.
Bye-bye BBC.
I'm away to cancel my license, right now. Enough is enough
Don't worry about it just cancel the direct debits. Don't phone them and bin all the begging letters!
I haven't watched the British Brainwashing Corporation, nor paid for it for years.
So if its just for bbc why does the government website say its for any live tv channel, itv, channel 4 etc??
I got rid of my TV and just watch UTube
More fool those that pay the TV tax
No, the licence fee should ^not^ be replaced by a different tax.
If you don't watch live broadcasts, BBC channels or access BBC i-player on your devices you have NO OBLIGATION to pay the licence. Simply DO NOT pay it. Do NOT engage in any of the correspondence. They CANNOT force you to pay. They CANNOT access your home. They CANNOT prove you are watching tv. Please stop worrying and stop paying for the propaganda.
100% correct. You don't have to give up watching, just watch via catch up and in the case of iplayer stuff it often gets uploaded elsewhere too (bbc news is on youtube for example).
Never watch the BBC or listen the radio anymore used to be great years ago but its so far from the public if the turned it all of tomorrow no one would miss it. Its like this tory government under the Indian useless and we are paying hughly for it.
Write to them and tell them you have no telly they will leave you alone for a couple of years , then do the same again after 2 years simple
I just deleted the BBC App and installed the GBNews App instead!
