This is Wrong : BBC "letting off" over 75 year olds to pay the TV licence
 
Its £15 a month.

From the BBC site :

[Your TV Licence lets you enjoy a huge range
of TV. It covers you for:

All TV channels - like BBC, ITV, Channel 4,
U&Dave and international channels
Pay TV services - like Sky, Virgin Media and EE TV
Live TV on streaming services - like YouTube,
Amazon Prime Video and Freely
Everything on BBC iPlayer]

Behave Arista. Pensioners probably only watch the basic channel and anyway I'm against the licence fee completely as it's an utter rip off.

I'm 43 and even I don't pay a licence fee. :hee:

All legal of course. :shocked:

Anyone who doesn't watch live TV like me can 'opt out'. All you do is 'sign' a I Do Not Watch Live TV form on the official TV Licence website. It's valid for two years.:hee:

And then you do it again, two years later. :p :D

Look, the BBC can not pick who they let off.


I am against this Tax.

Hopefully the TV Licence stops being a thing for everyone.

Tbf Adverts are getting really strange.

But I would still rather the strange Adverts than having to pay for a TV Licence for a Channel that I only watch two Shows.

Pensioners, a lot of them can't afford sky and wouldn't want it either.

Ignore the letters. And if someone comes to your door, show them your declaration on your tablet or phone, then tell them to f off. :p :joker:

Good luck. :hee:
