I will pay my t.v licence when they sack Gary linker.

If everyone stopped paying their licence to stop the BBC robbing innocent people and funding and protecting paedophiles like Jimmy Saville to name just 1.

Well said !! everyone needs to know how to handle the BBC !! Sharing your knowledge to vulnerable innocent people will help avoid the crime of imprisoning pensioners.

I stopped paying my TV licence a year ago I watch nothing but KZfaq and Netflix , the stuff you watch on the BBC you can , get for free a couple of days later , on KZfaq anyway . not everything but 90% of it . anyway I cancelled my TV licence and my sky subscription , and I now save myself £600 a year happy days from smoggy land and I have had 8 letters and 3 visits . and I answered the door like you would do with the God squad and as soon as he shows me his I D I don't say nothing to him I just close the door and get on with my day and the letters go in one door and straight out the other door ... in the bin , lol 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well said! Subversion is exactly right.

Agree completely! The "Defend the children of the poor and punish the wrongdoer" scales of Lady Justice at the Old Bailey are way off the horizontal.

Capita don't have it in them to be ashamed, they are shameless.

@@vinnyganzano1930 I wouldn't be surprised if any of the employees of Capita worked at the BBC

The courts always support the corporations because the ARE corporations themselves!!

@@ColinGilbert24 Unlikely, there are only so many hours in the day.

subscription or advertising, simple as.

BOYS BUGGERING CLUB, THE GOVERNMENTS MOUTH PIECE.

The word is Charlatan’s

But they love the bbc. It's how they push their agenda. They'll always be on their side. Trouble is the majority of joe public are too scared not to pay up.

.....and the one politician who raised this in PMQs - Peter Bone I think - was just laughed at and mocked by the rest of the House......

Not just the present government but all the preceding ones including labour. Haven't heard the opposition making a big noise about the licence situation.

The correct spelling it Crapita.

They run call centres for loads of companies eg utility companies

place them in charge of the Dinghy_Dwellers in Dover ! !

They run some local libraries. Stopped using mine and don't have a tv.

@@Rbourk252 🤣

I'm a pensioner and don't pay or watch BBC because it's all garbage.

I wonder what would happen if you lived in a secluded place and someone bound and gagged the inspector, tied them up in a forest etc

well said!!!

So stop buying a TV licence then!

Nope ... wrong, they're not allowed that's the whole point .. it's a scam ... don't pay it.

Don't worry about being sent to jail where you will have three meals a day as much t.v as you like access to a doctor and dentist only have to go out ones a day and when you come out your have your pension s in the bank

Yes we should campaign against it in every legal way possible. If everyone stopped paying their licence and educated the vulnerable and or elderly on protecting themselves.

If you open the door like any other sales person just say no thank you and close the door easy seems rude but it is your right, don't get clever and argue or say your name they are encroaching your castle shut the door no thanks easy, practice it and it makes it easier.

Frank if there's anything you ever need to know or need any advice I recommend you check out Chilli Jon Carne's channel and laceandwhisky is right never talk to them just say no thanks and shut the door.

Numerous videos, seem to show that an awful lot of people like to have an argument, they try and be clever, argue, insult or abuse the people that knock on their door, it's pointless all they are doing is giving them more reason to escalate things, a simple No Thank You and close the door is enough, don't make it personal. If at the end of the day, they go back to the office and report 4 No Thank You's, 3 F off!! And 5 F off or else!!! All those No Than You's will fade into the background

I haven't paid for a TV licence since 2013 and I wouldn't pay one now

Put a covid 19 warning notice on your door, they wont hang about.

they should get fck all ....bbc studios is making over 1 billion pounds

Your right. Make it stand on it's own feet. Jailing people because of the BBC is barbaric.

No, that was window tax 1696...lol

Hello Robert yes it is daylight robbery I don't think that all they care about is getting their money in their back pockets from Rachel

BBC scum

I stopped paying over 12 years ago, and will never buy a licence again.

@@BedsitBob it must cost them loads in letter thay i just throw in bin and if they turn up i choose not to open the door they get bored after an hour of knocking as you dont have to open the door or speak to them they find it very difficult to charge some one with no name and no date of birth you have the right to remain silent even to the police dont have to speak to them at all even in the police station they can't make you speak if you dont want to

@@bonehead2412 I've had close to 140 letters, in the 12 plus years I've been LLF, and had 12 visits (that I know of). I've even been in for 4 of them. The last one was 9 years ago, and my response seems to have put them off visiting. 😁 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNqDdNZp3qqdopc.html

Actually - when i was locked up (years ago) you was charged a £1 a week for the licence fee, (or 50p if you were 2 in a pad) out of your basic £6 a week allowance.

@@rog3833 When I was in the big house last year they didn't charge you anything for the TV. With only 20 channels to watch and having to put up with what mince your co-pilot watches. Now it's an experience I don't care to endure again.

If you get sent to jail over the TV license it's for not paying the fine for breaching the telecommunications act. Not paying a fine for anything imposed by a court is actually a contempt of court and they can severely hammer you

I have a TV and DON'T need a TV licence. I don't watch, record or stream ANY TV programs at the time they are being broadcast. That includes live broadcasts on KZfaq and other TV apps especially the BBC iPlayer Being in prison is no fun either! Your choices of TV channels are extremely limited and you're forced to live in a cell with a complete stranger who could have any kind of disease, COVID being the most concerning. You have to compromise and end up putting up with the s**te he wants to watch. Last year I spent 3 months in a very overcrowded Barlinnie prison for breaching a court order that could have otherwise gotten a fine. During that time I was locked in with 3 co-pilots and I was exposed to only God knows what.

Same has staying with a friend or staying in a hotel or B & B or watching TV in a pub you don't have to pay because it's not your home address.

But sometimes people make a mistake by opening the door to some goons

@@MYBIGKINDHEART yes, I think "digital communication" is mostly only practised by younger people. I'll explain - whenever any of their contacts come to their house, they're on the phone or texting almost since that person left his own premises to come over. Then, when arriving at the front door, the idea of having to knock on the door is almost unheard of.!!! Most usually the guys waiting in the house are under earphones anyway, so they wouldn't even HEAR anyone knocking on the door. It's a totally different lifestyle to older people, for which older people are not trained or accustomed to. It goes back to the days, yonks ago, when anyone knocking on the front door must be a special person that needs the kindest hospitality. So today, older people obviously are still practising a well outdated custom fit for the 19th century.!!!

@@MYBIGKINDHEART i did that once and when the goon asked who i am i asked him who he was. As soon as he identified himself i closed the door, job done. No contact, no contract, legally licence free for 9 years now.

@@homeandtravel7235 oh wow 9 years? I've suddenly amazingly not had any letters for like over a month or so, not even a Christmas card yet lol

@@MYBIGKINDHEART Funny enough i have only had 2 letters this year, i think they may have realised they are just giving me more ammunition to use against them in the form of you tube videos. Amazing how many people have stopped paying the telly tax since finding out that the threats are just intimidation and scare tactics.

Yeah I got that for a while until they start turning into the Incredible Hulk of threats again

I so agree with you it is like watching Nigerian etc TV.

And remember to cancel your direct debit first ignore letter and ignore the Capita goons when they come knocking they can't enter your home without a bent warrant with the police. Easy to proove you don't watch live TV and the auful BBC crap content.

@@PeaceAndLove303 never myself had a direct debit, but now I have no Intention of paying a racketeering mafia organisation, all this is way out of date way out of line and totally despicable in this day and age when there's the likes of other well known streaming services that don't come a knocking on my door and sending me disgraceful threats and yet the law will say its all part of the job, What BS!!! all of this needs to be stopped!!! How is it people march about many different things but never about this pathetic TV licence crap fee

@@MYBIGKINDHEART totally agree 👍🏻 I cancelled my direct debit years ago we are on the same page my friend.

I did, over 12 years ago.

Bravo, well said 👏

@Harry Crabb Each to their own, provided I'm not expected to pay for other people's TV.

License is not required for TV ownership, its only when you watch or record live TV.

If they are watching the BBC and just not paying for it I have no Sympathy. The license should be scrapped but until it is if you don't want to pay...don'y Watch

@@artful1967 you talk complete BS

i have the same view on council tax its not even a tax if it was they wouldnt send enforcement agents to try and collect it .it would be real high court bailiffs its all in the wording people they say tax to make you pay it

Enjoy your peace and quiet! 👍

Just shred the letters.

​@@chrisratboy479 I'd like to know more please, did you just stop paying council tax? What happened?

Ditto😂😂😂😂

I've done the same since Jan 1st and feel the same. It was tough not watching Eurovision though...

Well done We need a valiant minority like you!!! I would buy you a pint.congrats!!!

You're gonna have to provide a link to that.

@@vinnyganzano1930 I saw it on chillijoncarnie KZfaq video. 14th April 2022. Cheeky gits - meter readers. Sorry no good at uploading links.

Yes don’t engage with them, you don’t even have to speak to them, they are nothing more than salesmen who rely on your engaging in conversation to use anything you might say against you, so ‘say nothing’ just shut the door and ignore them.

They need a signature, or at least a name. I agree dont answer the door. I also seen the news that they want meter readers to spy basically.

no TV license for Dinghy_Dwellers? None ! - !nvasion?_0ur income Taxes are funding the 4*Hotel-Rooms with TB sheets & diseased_Towels changed everyday.. Free TV, Wi-Fi_4_p0rnHub, free h@lal Meals...? No council Tax bills. £52 a week spending cash. Unlimited hot water? Madness ? Doomed

IF I WAS MP I WOULD CLOSE THE BEEB DOWN AND INPRISON EVERY BBC MEMBER FOR 18 YEARS KNOCK EVERY BBC BUILDING DOWN AND CHARGE THEM WITH HARRASMENT ALARM AND DISTRESS ON THE PUBLIC AND FRAUD.

Especially that wind up merchant john kay. What a scaremongering bastard he is.

Not if you watch 'streaming' providers like Netflix, Prime and KZfaq.

It’s only for the bbc and iplayer. You don’t need one for other channels.

Robert you're completely wrong 😂

Its only for any of the BBC channels and the iPlayer... U can watch any other channels and dnt need a license so what u said is incorrect Robert!

@@smellyfinger684 it’s a licence to watch or record live tv and to watch BBC channels or their iplayer. So if you watch Sky News they want you to pay.

Why? I am disabled and I have to pay for it if I watch live television. Many pensioners are better off than I am, so why should I have to subsidise them?

@@juliewills8034 Because they've probably paid it all their working lives!

I did ..years ago

'all'? Lots of 'us' have. How come you haven't?

@@ef7480 Your logic is flawed. I stopped paying years ago.

It is theft from everyone.

That's how I feel.

Keep up at the back

While I do not disagree it is also problematic, sure if you say nothing and do not give them access they can't do anything at that time, but the problem is these goons get incentives for getting people to pay or convicted in court, and so there in an increasing cases of the BBC or well Capita goons going to court using TV van detection data to get a warrant to enter and search the property and the courts are issuing them every time, because if capita say " oh we have TV van detection evidence that the person was watching then it forces the court to issue it, aside from the fact that the TV van almost certainly do not exist now as they originally worked by detecting specific EM signals produced by the old tube style TVs when it received a signal and well new flat screens put out nothing of any value, but the insidious part is using it to get the warrant so they can then turn up at your address with the police where the warrant is issued and it forces the matter because if you refuse the warrant you are arrested and the TV goons gain access or if you accept the warrant the goons get access and once they do all bets are off as they are not above fabricating evidence, one example is when a goon was given access and he took photos of the TV Which was turned off, but in court the picture of the TV had been digitally modified to have an image on it, luckily for the individual they had hidden security cameras in each room because if they did not it would be a case of your word against their word and their photo evidence

That’s what you think 😂

@@RebeccaHollyGreen OK, let me rephrase it. You legally have to pay it if you watch/record ANY live TV, which, in this age of hundreds of commercial channels, is frankly ridiculous. 🙄

Do these guys know the rules? No mention that you can watch catch up tv legally without a license just not the I player.

Absolutely, how dare the BBC force anyone to pay for a licence to watch live television on other channels.

The licence fee aids one company, the bbc, yet must be paid if you watch "ANY" live TV broadcast whether it be Sky or ITV or Dave. I do not pay the licence, I haven't for several years, nor will I ever pay it again. I simply don't watch live TV anymore. I'll stream shows without going near the bbc iplayer, I watch KZfaq, I watch on demand and catch up services. The bbc can keep sending their letters and if they ever get round to it, their Capita Gestapo, but they can whistle for the licence fee because I'm legally not required to pay it.👍🇬🇧

Well done!!We need more VALIANT minority like you in this country!!

Why would you watch live TV when you have youtube netflix amazon etc etc etc etc yawn, I watch what I want when I want, not TV for me can't say I am missing anything at all

To be fair, this is the first government that has frozen the annual license fee, and it looks like the days of the license will end at the end of this period. Other governments have made noises about the BBC, but Boris' government is the first to actually do something.

Hahahahaha! I have a 'beware of the dogs sign' with a picture of 2 german shepherds. No one knocks at our door! We don't even have any dogs, keeps unwanted guests away!!

Perhaps you would kindly lend an old man some of your rippling muscle!

Magistrates probably on commission who knows with this insidious system!!

It is disgusting that they are allowed to get away with this harassment. Anyone else would be in trouble for sending threatening letters to people.

great value at only 30p a day".............only if you watch it which i dont .....so its a ripoff.

2027

Feck them. Watch what you like. There are only two ways they can get you. If they witness you watching the BBC or any live TV. Or if you admit it. Block their view and admit nothing. Home and dry

They've never lost their way. Nothing but pedophiles stealing money to run their DISGUSTING CRIMES while the Crown looks the other way which isn't a surprise they have many in their own closets.

Watch a game streamed through the internet and there is a delay, not much, but enough to be legally very significant in that it means it's no longer a live broadcast. It's a delayed 30-60s broadcast. That time difference makes all the difference.

@@vinnyganzano1930 Never thought of it that way until you commented. Technically it isn't live.

Yep and I bet they don't have to pay TV licence.

They have two way to get you. They either see you watching the Beeb or live TV through the window. Or you admit it. Block their view and admit nothing. Home free

Have the police asked if you need a gun licence?

Tomato tomato

Only BBC no others

It would be like lend/lease during the wartime. Eventually we would be in the clear and the tax payer would, at last, be gaining.

@@kevincoshner310 ?????????

They did for years - it was a promise, no fee for over 75s - but disgracefully they reneged on it a couple of years ago. It's a common British phenomenon- make promises but renege. Same way with the Dartford river crossing fees. The Promise was to charge only until it equaled/paid back the construction costs. That should have ceased in 2002 but oh no, 20 years later we're still being gouged. And it isn't owned by the French as many perceive...money goes to HMGovernment.
