So basically we pay for the BBC to produce programs that undermine our culture and religion. Dr. Who last night portrayed Isaac Newton as an Indian, casting and Indian actor, they also showed the Dr meeting 'gentleman's club owner' Mary Seacole on the battlefield and proceeded to demean Florence Nightingale as an office girl just doing paperwork. Have a look at how many politicians get free TV licenses by way of expenses, guess who pays their expenses? Modern slavery is rife in this country, we, the common person, work hard to support our politicians lavish life styles.

@@utubeapeall good examples. I had the same thoughts myself a while back. So much for governments promoting and encouraging a competitive market to give people choice and lower prices, but then allow the BBC to keep having an unfair, uncompetitive licence fee you have to pay for watching live tv broadcast by someone else who have used their own money to pay for it! This country has become such a rip off country its a disgrace.
Probably because it is a UK company. Sure, it is viewable world wide, but so are CBC (Canada), PBS (United States), and ABC (Australia) and only the Canadians, Americans, and Australians - respectively- pay for those. A public broadcaster is a net benefit to the public.
also, the BBC makes money from ads in other countries, as well as 50% ad revenue from UKTV network stations, which they own half of. It's a right racket they have going. Unfortunately for them this is all slowly coming to an end.
The BBC's too useful to the establishment for it to be allowed to die. It will still be there, regardless of how many people stop watching or listening to its programming, visiting its website or buying its merch.
The problem with abolishing the BBC, is ur not only gettin rid of the 8 national tv channels, ur getting rid of 8 national radio stations and 40 local stations.
😂😂 me too I finally managed to talk the wife into not buying into another license. We don't even have a TV box or anything like sky etc . We use netflix for movies . Amazon prime movies . Disney plus movies . And are avid gamers in the house . Me the wife and two teenage kids are pc gamers . We don't need any more of our cash funding bbc at all . But you ever get the feeling that soon this new media license will be for Internet companies too as its almost a bbc fee to watch on your phone . These pirates are cooking something up that will get everyone paying for it .
Over the last few years people have been told, wear a mask, have a jab, pay your ulez, drive at 20 mph, and now pay your tv licence, I for one am sick of being told what I have to do, and it irritates me that people still comply with this cra p instead of saying No
or being told that you must support this cause and that cause, otherwise you're a bad person (silence is violence!) and should be ostracised from your work/social group. i know of people who got accosted by their neighbours due to not clapping for the NHS at 8pm.. remember that...mass formation psychosis
I've personally not paid for a TV license for almost 9 years and have managed to convince the majority of my friends and family to follow suit. I'm happy to do my part.
The BBC goes against all monopoly laws, if you own a tv you have to have a tv license but you can`t buy a tv that doesn`t get BBC television. Microsoft got sued for millions for the same thing with internet explorer.
90% of my screen time is spent watching RUclips. If I have to pay a mandatory "Media Tax", then I expect my favourite RUclipsrs to get their fair share of that Tax.
Yep, we live in a nation of asymmetric national devolution - we live in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or Britain. No England. The UK Parliament is not fit for purpose, the 'British' thing is rubbish, and so is the BBC.
You are absolutely right Jon, why do we pay for the BBC ????? Times have moved on with the introduction of many TV channels from differing companies that DO support themselves. BBC pull your finger out and do the decent thing, abolish the TV licence and stand on your own . . .
The investment in the licence feed produces around 6£ for every 1 put in back to the treasury. It's created a media ecosystem where companies get BBC contracts then expand their programming for all round the world. If it wasn't there it would reduce Treasury tax takings by around 10 billion It's also priceless in the service it provides for schools and Universities + is now the only source of local radio where the alternative is hits 24

Rishi was in his chauffeur driven car travelling along avoiding cyclists which he has given right of way for everything, when he saw a man dressed in rags actually eating grass on the verge. He told the driver to stop and he spoke to the man. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked the man. The man replied, "Because of the cost of living crisis. My wife and children are also grazing nearby." Rishi said, " Come to Chequers at the weekend for a slap up feed. Bring your wife and children." "How can I ever thank you" said the man. "No need" said Rishi. The gardener is off sick and the lawn needs cutting."

You don’t actually need to tell them anything just it may stop the threats for a time. Do I tell the fishery authority I haven’t been fishing and I don’t need a fishing licence ?

BBC is nothing more than government station. Always has been when you trace it back. And government is not chosen by people. Thats an illusion your given. There is one person above government do you know who that is...
Shareholders of private corporations vote on things that affect those corporations. The BBC's 'shareholders' are ignored once their subs have been paid, just as voters are ignored once a new Parliament starts.
Blame the idiots that pay the license and still watch BBC, it's their fault. STOP PAYING THE LICENSE, it's that simple. I hope that this rise in cost will be the last straw for most people, hopefully they've just put the last nail in their own coffin.
BBC funding will come from (increased) general taxation instead of the license fee. We can opt out of having to pay the license fee. We won't be able to opt out of having to pay increased tax.
You seem a bit naive, sadly. As the other guy said, if licence money stops flowing, odds are that it will just be 100% tax funded, as other countries already have done.
Thelatchkeykid don't call people idiots that pay the tv licence they probably like watching BBC programs if they went pay per view they would still get a lot of people watching the BBC you've just called yourself an idiot if everyone has to pay a BBC tax
Next time a BBC presenter on a six figure salary mentions people have a choice between eating or heating, ask them if it's fair for them to face a choice between eating, heating, paying Lineker his million or being prosecuted.
If you're so convinced the BBC are doing such a fantastic job Lucy Frazer, then you must think they'd be fine if they became an advertising funded service (or subscription). So bloody defund them, and see how many people agree with you!!!
I bet Lucy Frazer has never ever spoken to a real person who lives in the real world. Probably has no idea about the price of things. Or gets everything on expenses so doesn't give a crap either way. Silly bint
I cannot express how much it comforts me to know that the licence fee (which I don’t need and don’t have) will not increase next year. I’ll sleep easier in my freezing home this winter knowing that this government really has our backs.
Utter madness. Rather than focus on why so many people don't pay the license, they decide to punish those that still do by demanding more money out of them.
it needs to rise because the money is going to more shows made 'with' Disney. But Disney have no money. They lost somewhere between $500,000,000 and $750,000,000 just in 2023. So they're going to bankrupt and the British public are being used to keep them afloat by making shows ''with' the BBC.
A fair cost would be 0, get funded by advertising like every other channel does or setup a subscription service like netflix so people who actually do want to watch BBC can pay for it and the rest of us who don't aren't forced to.
The thing that bothers me the most about the licence fee is the outright bullying you receive once you cancel. I don't watch broadcast TV or the iPlayer so I don't pay a licence, I don't need one. But I then get regular reminders from them that "it is a criminal offence if I do watch without a licence". Why are they allowed to get away with that? I'm not a criminal. I don't get letters from Ford reminding me that it's a criminal offence if I break the speed limit. I don't get letters from Tesco reminding me that it's a criminal offence to shoplift. Ford and Tesco recognise that most people are not criminals, but the BBC assume that everyone with no licence is a criminal. Surely that's defamation?
It's because we are funding "their" organised crime rings constantly, they don't like "criminals" because what they really fear is everyone thinking and operating outside of their well funded rings of crime...they can't be having that..therefore you are branded a criminal for not conforming...the whole country is ran by criminals but because they are at the top they are allowed to get away with it.
"I don't get letters from Ford reminding me that it's a criminal offence if I break the speed limit" ....... 😑 Are you suffering from a brain injury?! 🙃 Ford doesn't control the speed limit, police it or receive money from the fines paid when you are caught breaking it, nor prosecute you for public endangerment to the point of deducting points from your driving license (or taking the license away if you are a repeat offender). The govmt do all of that. The closest contextual comparison to TV licensing would be "I don't get letters from Ford reminding me that it's a criminal offense if I take a Ford vehicle from a dealership without paying for it". The difference being it takes almost zero effort to plug your TV into the terrestrial UHF aerial on basically every British roof and start receiving DVB-T signals from the local transmitter masts. There is somewhat more effort required, and it is vastly easier to be caught thieving an entire vehicle from a dealership. Your commentary is practically a textbook definition of bad faith arguments 😒
They (New Liarbar) started student loans and then the BBC stopped showing maths m101 etc and started showing rotating short clips from entertainment shows, repeatedly repeating all night instead. They also started a “comedy” campaign ridiculing the Open University lecturers’ dated clothes, very irrelevant, very smug and very nasty of them imho.
I’ve recently moved house, and one of my new neighbours bought his house from its builder in December 1965. He’s never had a TV licence. Apparently his TV works perfectly well without one!
The loyalty these proven corrupt politicians have to the BBC just shows the total contempt that they have for the people they are elected to represent.
I was surprised how JHB on her Talk TV clip on You Tube said today if you "own a TV set" you must have a license. Don't these leading news people ever learn ?! Great review Jon and well done for not going too crazy amongst all this madness !
If she said 400,000 people didn't renew last year, you can probably double that.....or even double it again.........They're not gonna give you the true figure.
I went licence free two weeks ago I've never enjoyed making a phone call more than telling those money grabbing w@!#$%s where to go and the fact i got a £80 refund made it even sweeter!!
I don't watch BBC and haven't for a long time, so last year I cancelled my licence as its a waste of money and too expensive for a lot of people, I totally agree with you they should advertise like everyone else 😊
I'm about to join everyone and I am cancelling my direct debit for the license - i dont watch any live tv - this channel has been a real eye opener and I am now spreading the word
It really is simple, like you said in this video. The BBC needs to be a subscription service just like Netflix and Amazon Prime, if they want people to pay for it this is how it should be. I haven't paid TV tax for over a decade, don't recall the last time I watched terrestrial TV channels. RUclips creators do a much better job at making shows.
True but if they made it optional 159/12 is £13 quid a month when av sub is about 10 quid a month. Who is gonna pay that for mid content? So they'd lose money if they changed and then majority of people wouldn't pay anyway. The only way out for them is to commercialise like ITV etc.
Jon accompanied by Black Belt Barrister need to be allowed to speak at a hearing in parliament and allowed to record doing so. I'd pay to make that happen
any party that says and does cancel the licence will gain most supporters, if you want to watch the woke bbc then use a subcription system, people should have a legal right to choose how they spend their money.
The licence fee is 44p a day. There were 67.33 million people in the UK in 2021. If only half of those people purchased a licence, then the BBC would be raking in 29,625,200 per DAY! For the utter tripe and scandal perpetrated by this organisation, it most definitely isn’t value for money. The licence is an outdated concept and should be consigned to history, along with the BBC.

It is a bizarre sado-masochistic relationship.
lol no they don’t. ITV, channel 4 and the rest of the like have no problem pushing either their propaganda or “the message”
not the govt, but the ever present establishment
No, the government needs the BBC not to put out anti-government propaganda. That is why they are being so nice to them.
i have not paid TV License for years and will not pay it by the

@@utubeapeall good examples. I had the same thoughts myself a while back. So much for governments promoting and encouraging a competitive market to give people choice and lower prices, but then allow the BBC to keep having an unfair, uncompetitive licence fee you have to pay for watching live tv broadcast by someone else who have used their own money to pay for it! This country has become such a rip off country its a disgrace.

Indeed they never actually answer any question just waffle on endlessly!
What pisses me off is its a world wide company and only the UK pays WHY
Probably because it is a UK company. Sure, it is viewable world wide, but so are CBC (Canada), PBS (United States), and ABC (Australia) and only the Canadians, Americans, and Australians - respectively- pay for those. A public broadcaster is a net benefit to the public.
@@dealbreakerc all those channels produce high quality propaganda and smoke and mirors
@@dealbreakercplease explain why/how a public broadcaster is a net benefit to the public.
Consume BBC content abroad and it's full of advertising.
also, the BBC makes money from ads in other countries, as well as 50% ad revenue from UKTV network stations, which they own half of. It's a right racket they have going. Unfortunately for them this is all slowly coming to an end.
Most people in the UK don't just want the licence abolished we littrally want the BBC abolished we want rid that's fact 💯
The BBC's too useful to the establishment for it to be allowed to die. It will still be there, regardless of how many people stop watching or listening to its programming, visiting its website or buying its merch.

BBC should be scrapped along with this ridiculous TV 'licensing" system.
Not the BBC, but the licensing does have to go
Yep, we live in a nation of asymmetric national devolution - we live in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or Britain. No England. The UK Parliament is not fit for purpose, the 'British' thing is rubbish, and so is the BBC.
Don't give money to people and companies who hate you.
You are absolutely right Jon, why do we pay for the BBC ????? Times have moved on with the introduction of many TV channels from differing companies that DO support themselves. BBC pull your finger out and do the decent thing, abolish the TV licence and stand on your own . . .
The investment in the licence feed produces around 6£ for every 1 put in back to the treasury. It's created a media ecosystem where companies get BBC contracts then expand their programming for all round the world.
If it wasn't there it would reduce Treasury tax takings by around 10 billion
It's also priceless in the service it provides for schools and Universities + is now the only source of local radio where the alternative is hits 24
Likely 100% taxpayer funding incoming..
"why do we pay for the BBC ??????"
So you still have a licence then?
Well that's on you isn't it.
i dont fund this corrupt corporation., better things to do with my money.

I think we should all of us write to her directly at the House of Commons and demand to know why " we " need to support the BBC.

If we all refuse to pay the BBC licence fee, there is nothing they can do about it.
There is NO excuse any more. The BBC should be free with adverts, and only if you choose, pay per view subscription via a encrypted service.
They won't do that because they know hardly anyone would subscribe and if they add adverts they may lose the few remaining viewers they have and the woke ideologues need an indoctrination channel.
We should have a referendum. Let the people decide.
With the illusion of choice their will be no choice on anything.

Rishi was in his chauffeur driven car travelling along avoiding cyclists which he has given right of way for everything, when he saw a man dressed in rags actually eating grass on the verge. He told the driver to stop and he spoke to the man. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked the man. The man replied, "Because of the cost of living crisis. My wife and children are also grazing nearby." Rishi said, " Come to Chequers at the weekend for a slap up feed. Bring your wife and children." "How can I ever thank you" said the man. "No need" said Rishi. The gardener is off sick and the lawn needs cutting."

If we have to support the BBC then we should get a say on their content and most of all the pay packets they give out.
Shareholders of private corporations vote on things that affect those corporations. The BBC's 'shareholders' are ignored once their subs have been paid, just as voters are ignored once a new Parliament starts.

Blame the idiots that pay the license and still watch BBC, it's their fault. STOP PAYING THE LICENSE, it's that simple. I hope that this rise in cost will be the last straw for most people, hopefully they've just put the last nail in their own coffin.
BBC funding will come from (increased) general taxation instead of the license fee. We can opt out of having to pay the license fee. We won't be able to opt out of having to pay increased tax.
You seem a bit naive, sadly. As the other guy said, if licence money stops flowing, odds are that it will just be 100% tax funded, as other countries already have done.
yes they will also put a tax in your broadband as well they will get us both ways

Utter madness. Rather than focus on why so many people don't pay the license, they decide to punish those that still do by demanding more money out of them.
it needs to rise because the money is going to more shows made 'with' Disney. But Disney have no money. They lost somewhere between $500,000,000 and $750,000,000 just in 2023. So they're going to bankrupt and the British public are being used to keep them afloat by making shows ''with' the BBC.
Go woke, go broke
“FAIR”? No such thing. Defund em, we don't want them any more.
A fair cost would be 0, get funded by advertising like every other channel does or setup a subscription service like netflix so people who actually do want to watch BBC can pay for it and the rest of us who don't aren't forced to.
I haven't owned a TV since my last one broke in 2005, I had been complaing a lot about the lack of items to watch, and so never replaced it.
The thing that bothers me the most about the licence fee is the outright bullying you receive once you cancel. I don't watch broadcast TV or the iPlayer so I don't pay a licence, I don't need one. But I then get regular reminders from them that "it is a criminal offence if I do watch without a licence". Why are they allowed to get away with that? I'm not a criminal. I don't get letters from Ford reminding me that it's a criminal offence if I break the speed limit. I don't get letters from Tesco reminding me that it's a criminal offence to shoplift. Ford and Tesco recognise that most people are not criminals, but the BBC assume that everyone with no licence is a criminal. Surely that's defamation?
It's because we are funding "their" organised crime rings constantly, they don't like "criminals" because what they really fear is everyone thinking and operating outside of their well funded rings of crime...they can't be having that..therefore you are branded a criminal for not conforming...the whole country is ran by criminals but because they are at the top they are allowed to get away with it.
"I don't get letters from Ford reminding me that it's a criminal offence if I break the speed limit"
....... 😑
Are you suffering from a brain injury?! 🙃
Ford doesn't control the speed limit, police it or receive money from the fines paid when you are caught breaking it, nor prosecute you for public endangerment to the point of deducting points from your driving license (or taking the license away if you are a repeat offender).
The govmt do all of that.
The closest contextual comparison to TV licensing would be "I don't get letters from Ford reminding me that it's a criminal offense if I take a Ford vehicle from a dealership without paying for it".
The difference being it takes almost zero effort to plug your TV into the terrestrial UHF aerial on basically every British roof and start receiving DVB-T signals from the local transmitter masts.
There is somewhat more effort required, and it is vastly easier to be caught thieving an entire vehicle from a dealership.
Your commentary is practically a textbook definition of bad faith arguments 😒

I'm about to join everyone and I am cancelling my direct debit for the license - i dont watch any live tv - this channel has been a real eye opener and I am now spreading the word
It really is simple, like you said in this video. The BBC needs to be a subscription service just like Netflix and Amazon Prime, if they want people to pay for it this is how it should be.
I haven't paid TV tax for over a decade, don't recall the last time I watched terrestrial TV channels. RUclips creators do a much better job at making shows.
True but if they made it optional 159/12 is £13 quid a month when av sub is about 10 quid a month. Who is gonna pay that for mid content? So they'd lose money if they changed and then majority of people wouldn't pay anyway. The only way out for them is to commercialise like ITV etc.
Jon accompanied by Black Belt Barrister need to be allowed to speak at a hearing in parliament and allowed to record doing so. I'd pay to make that happen

any party that says and does cancel the licence will gain most supporters, if you want to watch the woke bbc then use a subcription system, people should have a legal right to choose how they spend their money.
The licence fee is 44p a day. There were 67.33 million people in the UK in 2021.
If only half of those people purchased a licence, then the BBC would be raking in 29,625,200 per DAY!
For the utter tripe and scandal perpetrated by this organisation, it most definitely isn’t value for money. The licence is an outdated concept and should be consigned to history, along with the BBC.
