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.
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).
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.
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.
Subscription service only, most of us rarely watch normal TV. Don't pay for a TV licence if you don't watch BBC or live TV, most people tend to watch Netflix, DVDS, Disney Channel, NOW tv, Amazon Prime, Brit box, Apple TV, Paramount, Hulu etc

When are they going to give rebates for the repeats which makes up most of what is screened
Must really love watching adverts 😂😂😂😂
i stopped paying....fed up with paying for other counties getting a freebie at my expense !
Your a patriot, you walk a higher path. Young men in WW2 climbed into spitfires for people like you.
*You're
Why are you lemons still paying the tv licence fee. If you just watch netflix or UA-cam you dont need to pay. Cancel your tv licence today. Defund the bbc.
I don't know why there's a fuss over the increase. My spending on the BBC has increased by 0%
not watch BBC you can buy new TV every 4 year.......
@@jetli740It’s going up by 10 pound .
@@Jokerjaxs who care how much it gone up, i have not watch BBC since 2013
Netflix,amazon etc is cheaper with more film less advert.
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.
The Brits should demand a choice!
I'm GLAD that many Brits aren't actually paying!
The main trouble with the BBC is that people keep paying for it.
A bit like council tax which keeps going up, like a minimorgage.
Opt out and watch online.
People are switching off, because it`s a Goverment mouthpiece.
I never paid
Why should anyone be forced to pay the BBC to watch Channel 5.
The BBC license fee. The true meaning of vicious extortion.
Er, No, that was The Krays
@@babetopaz Yep
Not for me!
I don’t pay for and never will pay the TV license! 🥳
Are people still paying this tax? 😅😂😅😂
Stupid isn’t it?
@ant7936
The same mentality of fools that wore facemasks and had the jabs will pay for the TV license.
Are people still paying tax in general? 😂 I haven’t in 3 years
Yes you have.@@Rubbersuckyjq
Apparently so.
Its so easy not to watch live telly just don't pay it.
Woman with the bob hat was brilliant,,get her on again..
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 for a licence for years and don’t ever intend to pay for one again.
Me either! Not been tied to the BBC for years now. Great. 😊
I’ve just cancelled my license not paying for their woke crap.
Abolish the TV licence
BBC has recorded an overall profit of £227 million ($314.2 million) for the financial year 2020/2021,
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.
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.
That is ridiculous! That should be free
Got rid of my TV in July 23' & haven't missed it.
I've not paid it for years...Best move ever
Put the woke out of a job DONT PAY !!!
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).
Needs to be stopped , voluntary only waste of money
So if its just for bbc why does the government website say its for any live tv channel, itv, channel 4 etc??
Thank goodness I gave up the TV 3 years ago. I won't subject myself to WOKE propaganda.
Describe Woke please
Bye-bye BBC.
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.
Licence holders down by 500,000 to 24.3 million from last year
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.
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 work for the MOD and I haven't had an inflation pay rise since 2009.
Are you a crisp salesman?
@@stevetaylor8698 Mars Bars.
And?
I haven’t ever paid license fee, I don’t watch the BBC, and haven’t missed a lot. You do not have to do this.
Subscription service only, most of us rarely watch normal TV.
Don't pay for a TV licence if you don't watch BBC or live TV,
most people tend to watch Netflix, DVDS, Disney Channel, NOW tv, Amazon Prime, Brit box, Apple TV, Paramount, Hulu etc
I don't watch and pay license for 20 odd years! Have I missed anything important?? I don't think so.
Michael Cole is spot on.
Watching TV off a antenna in the United Kingdom should be free and no one should have to pay for it.
Director general just got a 30k a year pay rise bless him he needed it as was only getting paid 520 k a year in 2023 and poor old Gary lininker is only getting 2 million a year out of the forced license fee we have to pay not to watch him and others
i dont pay them a penny, it makes me feel good when i hear about their pay rises
I got rid of my TV and just watch UTube
Just see how much you'll be paying when it goes private
Stream all your entertainment for free online , F all these woke channels
What an out of date service ! Time to close most of it down.
