BBC have loads of younger reporters
get rid of this old tired one.

This is disgraceful. Greedy bastards.

Well leave.eu have a solid record for truth telling, so I'm on board.

it's no coincidence that all these far right groups and commentators want the BBC to be scrapped, just as they introduce British Fox Propaganda network over here.

The BBC has been pretty bad the last few years for their failures to report truthfully about Brexit, and fawning all over Johnson etc, but they will be needed to offset some of the crazy that is about to hit our airwaves.

April 1 :skull:


:unsure: some silly april fools joke by leave.eu

I keep getting 'threatening letters' informing me if I own a device that has the potential to connect to live TV, I need a license. Erm, nope, thats not how it works dears. But do try to turn up and tell me you have the right to come into my house again though, that was fun last time.

Get em' Beefy!

Which far-right groups? What are you talking about?

Anyone thinking of stopping paying this..all you need to do is NOT sign anything they turn up at your door with. I fell for it once, never again. I signed a consent form that gave them permission to take me to court. The duty solicitor said basically, if you don't sign that, they cannot prosecute.

Am not saying it so those who enjoy bbc/live tv avoid the fee. But for anyone who uses netflix and stuff..do not be bullied into paying this by any 'if your device RECEIVES live tv you need one'...no. They have to prove that you are watching it, you do not have to pay incase you might.

Oh, thy also cannot forcefully enter your home to 'check your tv'. They say they have this power, and will often try (a friend got a broken wrist, from tv license people trying to force their way in), but they do NOT unless a copper is with them..which is hugely unlikely...in my experience, they will bully and lie their way into getting you into trouble any way they can, even if you actually do not watch any live stuff.

You can also walk out of Tesco's with half a lump of beef in your pocket as long you have a bag of other stuff and a receipt.. dont worry about the alarm.:nono: or the guards.:nono:

Thats not the same though, if people actually do not watch live tv? Am not advocating for people who do have live tv to do this, but so many only watch catchup and that now that..it needs to be said :S

Might as well sit down with a sunday roast for nowt whilst watching though eh.:cheer2:

At the table.

Well you could really..as thats how its set up. I wouldnt personally advise it though tbh. I only dont pay it as I actually only watch netflix and streaming sites now.

:joker:

My son gets these regularly in RED LETTERs ...we are coming on the 25th Feb, why say when they are coming :laugh:

You dont pay it cause you are standing up to the system sister.:dance:

Stand up to Tesco's system and the law and have a nice munch for free.:hee:


Remember I am the person that introduced TIBB to the free takeaway scam in 2015.

Intimidation...simple.


They think people care.:joker:

No memory of this free takeaway thing :suspect:

Might have been 2013 or 14 then.or 16...


Definitely one of them though.

It is has gone up £5



[TV licence fee to rise by £5 to £174.50 today.


[The cost of a TV licence is to rise by £5 to £174.50
in 2025, the government has announced.

Thousands more households are also
to be offered support to pay the licence fee,
the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)]

It's just nothing that's worth £14.50 a month, ridiculous. I reckon about... £7 a month would be reasonable, so half that.
