LOL. That's a good one! A woke organization bending over backwards to the governments tune & his highness S.Khan. I do hope the other mob do not disrupt midnight mass services, celebrations, etc. If that happened (can't rule it out) what would the BBC report?
Done to generate more news, to try and scare more vulnerable people, into paying for something, many people don't need or use but get scared into buying because of threatening letters and pushy door salesmen.
dont open the door your not obliglated to you dont know the person you have no contract with them effectivily they are tresspassers their not family their Not friends.
Don't literally 'just slam the door' without checking for body parts that may be impacted, and make sure you tell the person to step back. You could definitely be liable for injury if you just 'slam the door' on a visitor, even one you want to leave.
I’ve never received a threatening letter from Netflix since I cancelled my subscription. Time to make unsolicited license fee collection visits illegal.
Haven’t had a TV licence for 8 years. Never had a visit and if I did they wouldn’t get past my video doorbell. I never open the door to anyone I don’t know or am not expecting.
I'm at 11 years,in truth I actually dont watch as the legality quotes neither BBC or any other live programmes 95% of the time I am watching all manner of things on "you tube"
I got that letter, I felt threatened, I phoned the number given, wanting to give a mouthful, but it was an automated voice, Calmed down , and, I got another letter saying thank you, and they will check again next year. I am a pensioner, 75 , and I don't watch any TVs. And I'm bloody riled.
Don't let these barsturards get to you, instead ignore them and DON'T have anything to do with this corrupt organisation, but please have a Wonderful Christmas though ;-)
@@jimoconnor2594 If an 75+ person is in receipt of Pension Credit and does watch live television, as it is broadcast or uses iplayer, then they still need a licence, it just won't cost them anything.
If they produced the quality of content that they managed in decades past then they might have a leg to stand on. They abandoned their mission statement to "inform and entertain the British public" years ago. If they're not holding up their end of the deal then why should we subsidise them? The only BBC productions I watch are old shows that have been uploaded to RUclips. I occasionally see current day BBC content at friend's houses and I'm certainly not missing out on anything worth watching.
Over 500,000 cancelled or did not renew in 2023. That number was over 600,000, in 2022. Also a good 300,000 pensioners age 75+ have not paid for a bbc licence since the beeb removed their free one. The bbc trash are feeling the bite of the British public, in big chunks and it's telling on how anti-British their narrative has gotten in the last 8-10 years.
I remember in the 60s living on a big council estate. If a van turned up with a coat hanger on the roof word got round like wildfire. Everyone would be unplugging their TVs from wall, power AND aerial.
TV detector vans were never actually able to identify properties that were watching TV. So, that reaction was actually what they were looking for, to bully people into complying.
lots of people are still afraid for no reason whatsoever..... it is SO SO easy just to cancel your direct debit and let the uninformed keep paying for the bias views and harbouring deviants.
What I'd say to young people is when you move out, never pay it and never give any store your details when you buy one. I moved out in 2003 and I have never paid it and I've not had a single person come round my house. I think once you start paying they've got you, so any 16 year olds out there, just do not ever pay for it.
@@robtheplod But what I mean is I have never received a letter or anything every from them. However once you start paying, I'm guessing they then have the ability to send you letters.
Christian intimidation. You won't be seeing letters about turning up on peoples doors to embarrass them on Ramadan. Clearly, targeting the right people, for who they despise.
There is a very simple solution to this. Go online and declare that you dont require a TV licence. No more agressive/intimidating letters. As yes the BBC did shape our upbringings, fourty plus years of Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris. The type of 'role models' the BBC are very proud of.
You don't need to tell them anything. I mean do you ring Tescos/Dominos to tell them you won't be shopping there this week, because your popping into Waitrose/Pizzahut!? No I thought not. What's the difference?
Even Simpler!!!! Just cancel your direct debit.... job done!11 You should NEVER contact TVL/BBC as that authorises them to keep your details - dont engage with them at all.
And how much wasted postage money from the Licence Fee Payers did the BBC waste on that 1 letter 😂 ££££ down the drain again. Perhaps it was their accountant❗️
@@MrPinkStrat not sure what you're hoping to accomplish. Not sure. What any of you guys are hoping to accomplish? You have two options, pay the fee or don't
They're acting like a mafia with these threatening letters. Disgrace and for such a stupid thing. TV fee?! Why should we pay for something so ridiculous?
id be ashamed if I was you... look at what your country has done to itself. politicians are only a small part of the problem... the major problem is YOU. YOU voted in incompetence for years upon years. you reap what you sew
Children had best avoid the likes of the bbc's horrible historie, though, as for the last few years they've been very anti-British, while promoting black people, in historical events as factual, when the actual history says otherwise.
Im gutted if this latest letter is wrong as I was hopeful I might finally see someone on Christmas day, being a single man with no relatives I thoguht great the TV man will help with dinner prep. I even stopped paying my licence in the hope they would stop around.
I live in a diverse area and they just never come here. People round here don't even speak English - they ain't going to be watching Countryfile or Eastenders
Why dont they just stop the license and put adverts on, they cant use the excuse that they dont put advertising on tv because they use product placing, whats that but advertising and using weasel words to get around it. Some companies are paying them to put their products on view.
I don't think that there should be a license, as many other countries manage perfectly well without one. I also think that people who don't watch any of the BBC's offerings should have to pay it. BUT those who do watch BBC without a license deserve whatever comes their way, because they cost the rest of us honest people more.
My money saved is put on my gas same as HBB which we’re both cancelled this year, haven’t watched BBC for years, unfortunately for me l work full time ..
No license people will come on Christmas Day or any other ! I've been getting threatening letters for years, even though I don't have a TV. I think it was last March that I got a letter saying they were going to visit me on a certain day, so I stayed in all day to wait for them, but no one showed up. However a couple of weeks later I started getting the letters again ... What total BS !

Shut the BBC down.

They need you to pay for things that are bad for you. It’s in their play book.
