TV licence fee is truly disgusting
You don't have to pay it if you are not happy with the service, the BBC are bullies I agree and that is disgusting behaviour but you have nothing to worry about if you are doing nothing wrong.
Only if you pay it. No obligation to.
When I finally reached the age of free licences the BBC stopped it. The rotten B's
I charge them more to send their signals through me and my property.
I haven't billed them for it yet, I just knock off the amount I save by not paying them, as a discount for them.
It is but forget programmes broadcast or streamed under the BBC banner ever carrying advertising. The BBC don't want to. They much prefer their funding handed to them on a plate and no government would ever allow it. Forget a subscription model too. That would also be too difficult for the BBC and, again, unacceptable to any government.
Unfortunately, the real danger we face is being taxed to pay for the BBC, the most likely form being an addition to council tax or a broadband subscription, as these would still be on a per household basis.
The bbc has refused to call HAMAS a terrorist organisation on its news channels.That in itself is a good enough reason to stop paying the tax.
The constant propaganda barrage is the main reason I stopped paying the licence fee. How do you know if you don't watch it ?
@@JoeBlogs720 Have you heard of the radio or web pages?
Isn't it about time the Government or perhaps the security services questioned this. Perhaps de-funding the corporation might help put them on the right track.
@@BlackGriffin195 The BBC is a mouthpeace to governments os they love the BBC
The BBC claims that refusing advertising keeps them impartial.
How's that going?
Criminals
The people that watch and don't have a licence ?
@@JoeBlogs720 not funding their own brainwashing?
Those idiots that continue to cough up the TV tax and fund the BBC
@@JoeBlogs720 innocent is the default, unless proven guilty, in court, beyond ALL reasonable doubt. Remember that.
66 in June I have never personally paid the BBC TAX, I never will.
Did you ever watch TV though ? it's nothing to be proud of if you're just a licence fee dodger.
@@JoeBlogs720 do you ever speed? Bet you do. Pay a fine every time you do...
I will hold myself responsible if I am found guilty of an actual crime.
TV license? I wouldn't wipe my arse with it.
I would, if it had Lineker's mug printed on it.
@TheBrummie1960 that's a brilliant one 🤣
They no longer issue paper licences so use the 'demanding money with menaces' letters instead!
So glad not never had a digital arsewipe before
Or be able to spell it.
People need to just cancel their direct debits and leave the BBC in the 1940's........
I could not imagine in any way that the BBC of the 1940s could imagine that the current Dr Who or Eurovision Singer would ever exist and would be appalled at the very thought. The current BBC is well in to the future in a dystopian world of everyone's worst nightmares.
I agree the television tax is ludicrous…the output from the BBC is utterly dismal and shameful and much is shamefully amateur - that’s when they aren’t filling schedules with repeats from decades ago.
Resist,Defy, Do Not licence Comply
Big brother is watching. 😂😂😂
Don't watch it,don't want it,Won't pay for it,it's crap
To tim daley. We have cancelled the tv licence. We were not happy with the tv programs.
You can legally watch tv without a licence JUST DONT WATCH ANYTHING LIVE or bbc
It will be 20 years in August since I paid for the TV licence.
But you don't watch anything that requires you to have a TV Licence does it?
@@brimkathstampex2306 I don't, so what's your problem, troll?
@@brimkathstampex2306Actually it's none of your business as to whether @Tevs TravelsByNarrowboat watches anything that requires a licence or not.
@@brimkathstampex2306 do you have a gun licence? How do we know you don't need one? I have you told the police you don't need one? What are you hiding eh?
I have a mate who's on 28 years! I'm still a baby on 4 years.
A licence is an agreement to pay to a logo BBC, its a corporation, never, ever, engage, period,
This whole country is one big rip of now 😡
If the BBC is so wonderful people will pay for it on subscription there is no need for the BBC Tax.
It's like owning a Ford but paying BMW to drive it. Madness.
The BBC was founded in the era of Imperial Airways biplanes, leaving school at 14, steam trains and polio.
The rest of the world has moved on.
The BBC hasn't.
why would you want to, when the majority of people are still happy to pay?
@@colinellison762 No, we're threatened with a criminal conviction and imprisonment.
Funny thing: If the BBC had established a subscription service during the 1990s, by now they'd have a bigger budget and worldwide audience than Netflix. The adherence to their obsolete concept of a compulsory licence is causing the BBC's fall and self-destruction.
@@colinellison762 only the fools pay the licence fee.
@@colinellison762People pay because they have to by law if they want to watch sport on Amazon Prime or anything on ITV.
If they were happy to pay, there would be no need to enforce it by law.
Getting money for doing shit all they laughing all the way to the banks 😛😛😛
I have never paid the tv licence and never will
It’s truly amazing that people still pay the BBC Tv Licence fee
I cannot comprehend this either. I watch just about every Channel I can find, on a daily basis, to prove to myself that there is nothing anybody can do about it, no matter what anybody tells you.
Mugs
4 billion a year is roughly £456,000 per hour. Where are they getting the ingredients for their cookery shows, the wallpaper for their makeover shows and how much are they being billed to rent a field for Antiques Roadshow?
@@gwheregwhizz Any corporation with nearly £4bn to spend each year ought to be left with healthy surpluses. There's either gross incompetence or corruption on an industrial scale at the BBC
A guy in work once told me that even if you had your grandad's old fishing rod, that you'd never used, in your attic, you would still legally need to buy a 'rod licence'. The gullibility of some of those out there is absolutely painful.
Ive got an elderly gentleman below, that gets scared when they turn up. I just go down and tell them to bugger off. Hes on a firestick anyway i gave him and he dont watch live tv, so doesnt need one.
Absolutely fucking unbelievable 🤬🤬🤬
Paying for rubbish on TV we should all revolt and not pay
Crazy how quiet all the other channels are on the subject. If I was boss of ITV or C4 I'd be spitting since every year less people are watching LIVE TV, giving up their License. This will impact the income revenue of ITV, C4 etc. Yet they're quiet. Yes they've expanding their online streaming services but does this make up the shortfall?
I would like to know the system of renumeration that means you cannot watch other channels than the BBC, even though the "other channels" are not directly profiting from the licence fee!
The BBC is out of date. It's stupid the BBC charges for watching channels that have nothing to do with them. They even charge for channels that are not broadcast from the UK, its ridiculous.
Thanks to you, I have stopped paying for the tv license, and I only watch streaming services (ITV X All 4 and Netflix, etc.). I also have a large media collection I can watch (Dvds and Blu-Rays).
In the 3 or 4 years, I've had 2 vists and a tone load of letters, I've got enough letters to wallpaper every room in my house 🏠 😆 🤣
Becareful. Both Netflix and ITVX both have live streaming channels, which could mean that you are watching tv, illegally, without a licence.
@@karlcleveley1114 NOTHING will happen
BBC does not charge the public to watch TV channels they don't own, the government charges a licence fee to receive live broadcasted TV signals. The BBC were authorised by the government to collect the licence fee and to use the fee money for their own operating costs.
But I agree with you, it's ridiculous.
Complacent, licensed criminals!
Never ever give up the fight, no matter how long it takes until this 'tax' is scrapped
Stand-up, stand-up...stand-up for your rights....
I scrapped it years and years ago.
@@MikeEves But you don't watch any TV that you shouldn't be watching, do you? So what's your point?
@brimkathstampex2306 because it doesn't stop the mob sending their boys round to attempt to con you out of your money.
Paying the license fee is like voting - A Lost Cause 😂 !!!!
BBC is done
15yrs for me this year ... don't miss it at all!
The BBC is GCHQ's greatest asset, and earns money too!
4 Billion is an unbelievable amount for any operator. How can they say they are short of money? Investigation needed by the fraud squad.
It's akin to doing your shopping in Asda and a goon from Tesco helps himself to £20.00 at the till. We are not a serious country.
The BBC should just go where its wanted 🤔
Exactly. They see themselves as globalists, so scrap the tax, open up subscriptions and see if the people of the globe agree...
It's smug people like dim Tim that makes it very easy for me not to pay into the British Bashing Corporations legal extortion racket, it's terrible value and very politically biased.
but he and the BBC are NOT "getting away with it"! Any right minded person will join the millions of us that refuse to pay this tax.
@user-jn6dy4uu4n No need to get stroppy mate- its known colloquially as a "tax". Why exactly would it be "added to our Council Tax?" And your caps lock appears jammed on.....
truly mazing how they get away with it
Only if you let them
The reason why they’re getting away with it is because we’re letting them get away with it
Let him give us a choice. Then see what happens.
If the licence stays, no tv tax, so, fine by me.
What's TRULY worrying is how many people are still paying for a licence that they probably don't need BUT are too scared not to.
Although the licence fee enforcement agency was set up to go house to house & SELL the licence, they have in fact become door step collector's who rely on scare tactics & employ thugs to enforce the idea that you HAVE to buy a licence JUST because you own a TV, ITV should make a public service type advert to show that this is NOT the case.
Once upon a time, when you brought a TV you had to either prove you had a TV or fill out a card to be sent to the BBC so they could sell you one.
That's where the belief that you MUST have one came from, sadly many of those like myself old enough to remember that still believe it... I stopped buying one over 10 yrs ago & haven't looked back since... Now NONE of my family buy one anymore & instead all subscribe to channels that broadcast content from around the world that they WANT to watch, none of us watch or miss watching live or catch up TV from BBC or another channel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nobody’s happy about it IMO. Most are scared of enforcement
its completely irrational to keep paying something out of fear.... especially when its optional.
@@robtheplodyeah. It’s akin to extortion
They will get what they want when Labour get in.
Yep. No Labour gov. would ever agree to scrap the license fee funding model and make them go commercial. It’s socialism in action.
It’s truly amazing that all my family members pay it and hardly watch it
what a waste of money...
He means “It’s truly amazing how we’ve got away with this for so long.” Trebles all round.
Yeah right just ignore the massive SCAM.
The fear of going to prison always makes me hand over the cash....................
But they can do this, even if you're not watching live tv. Its proving your innocence that counts.
Don’t let them in your house,don’t talk to them ,cancel direct debit.
You can't be jailed for not having a TV licence.
Apparently a former HMRC person is 'advising' the Labour party about tax. One of his suggestions was to get rid of the free licence fee for over 75s. I think he has not noticed that it is now only available to people who are receiving pension credit. I do wonder how much his gold-plated pension is, and if he actually claims the state retirement pension. Words fail me!
The License fee to BBC so you can watch ITV, 4 and 5 is ridiculous
Every night i turn on their soy background sound effects radio bore 4 and no matter the total irrelevance they’ll be pushing some observations and views from an American. Last week i heard an American guest inform me that birthday cakes started in Italy. I’m truly amazed they were so surprised we voted for Brexit, when they couldn’t even ask an Italian.
No i don’t pay to watch them because i don’t watch them anyway, there’s only so much i can take. But i bet i’ve got enough letters to paper the walls of my w.c.
Very small WC,if you have as many as me. !
@@rickywallace98 I’m collecting them like green shield stamps.

Truly amazing they still don't know my name... after over 20 years at the same address.
Aren't those investigations thorough? ◔◔
The TV License fee is the people being Blackmailed by the BBC
For those of us who do play by the rules and have no licence (As we don't require one) It would be much better If It stays as It Is rather than some sort of ''Media'' tax or tax put on top of your Council tax etc. As It currently stands we can legally abstain from paying any money to the BBC. A change In the law, to bring In another method of them extracting the fee from people, will be bad news indeed.
indeed. At the moment most people still dont realise the licence is optional and can be avoided... lets keep it as the current licence.
I just rang them up and told them i don't want a tv license and cancelled my direct debit that's all you have to do, wish i had done it years ago.
You dont need to justify yourself to these criminals, just stop your direct debit. All you have done is just increase visits from enforcement agents (sales people) to your home, because they think otherwise.
The government get good money out of it in taxpayer money
I won't pay for that crap !!!
You need some intelligence to appreciate the BBC offering
@@Cabby1952 quite the opposite. BBC TV is the lowest form of entertainment.
Not got anywhere my Anne , it's going stage left because that's where it belongs , in the dark ages.
ALL the best to you.
TV licence 😂
A fool and his money are soon parted
They know now that it's not going to go anywhere! They are not going to give up the endless pot of money, the licence fee. If every single person refuses to pay for it, they then will not even entertain it.
They should be able to charge whatever they want .I haven't paid for 6 years .and yes I watch bbc /sky whatever. Mugs the lot of you who still pay
So Tim Davie is saying he's open to reform of the license fee to make it more PROGRESSIVE in how it's enforced, with consideration being given to charge richer homes more. The only way they could do that is add it to council tax, which is already based on the value of your home, or take it straight out of your wages in the form of income tax. Unlike the current TV License, you wouldn't even be able to opt out if you don't watch/record/stream live TV or use BBC iPlayer. HOW THE HELL IS THAT PROGRESSIVE? That would be unfair, pure greed, and borderline criminal (extortion).
If he really wanted to be progressive, he'd lobby Parliament to turn the BBC into a commercial outfit, thus putting it on the same playing field as every other broadcaster in the entire UK.
I would like to see the BBC raise the licence fee every year because maybe then all those people who are still fool enough to pay it would stop?
They will never scrap the tv licence, not while they can hold power over you.
Its amazing that people are thick enough to still pay it!
Taking people to court is there last option is a straight up lie. My proof is , I invited TV licensing to give me a visit to insure I meet the criteria to be licence free before I cancelled. Just to have peace of mind they can't try and stitch me up as I would still be covered, they refused on the spot. So I cancelled on the spot and got my 6 months Infront back, they did try and offer just about 1 or 2 months refund but I reminded them I've never missed a payment in years and we all know it's 6 months Infront. The guy found out fast he wasn't going to scam me as I was leaving them.
That did not happen. Why would you make this up. On refunds TVL pay any unused full months on the TV licence, they don't negotiate how many months they will refund you.
@@gmo4250 I'm sorry but was you on the call and did you understand what I said. They did offer an amount at first lower than expected when I asked how much I will be getting refunded. I told the person on the phone the amount is wrong and why. The person rechecked and he was wrong and corrected the amount. Possibly because he first looked at the remaining time on the current licence at the time and not the money towards the next licence already paid. I'm guessing how he was first wrong but my point of refusal to asses if I meet the criteria still stands.
@@tablet_1233
Correct, I was not on the call. Since you started with the invite nonsense, in case they "stitch you up". I thought it unlikely that the rest of your story was true. If the rest is true, it seems like a genuine mistake though, rather than an incorrect offer.
@@gmo4250 the invitation was not nonsense, it was for a valid reason. If they did come round to my home and agree that I met the criteria for licence free before I cancelled. That way they couldn't claim that I don't after cancelling, providing all is the same. I was only trying to cover my back since there's video's on RUclips of TV licence enforcers plugging in antenna leads and tuning TV in to get a reception all with police officers watching
@@tablet_1233
That's only with a warrant or if you invite into your home. Since you know the only way you can get convicted is by talking to them or admitting something(even inadvertently), why would you invite them in so they have a good chance to "stitch you up"?
I’ve just cancelled my license and I won’t ever pay for it again. RUclips has great viewing
Haven't paid a penny to the BBC for 17 years. Have no idea why anyone does.
I'm scammed and discrimminated against. Widowed and my pension is just over the limit to claim benefits for a free licence .I'm almost 76 but too scared to not pay for it.
40 years two visits ...no entry ...no licence bring it on
I've just cancelled my TV licence, it was like being interviewed for a murder. Wanted to know what tech I have, what do I watch, why do you want to cancel, we need to know its the right thing for you to do.......
I know what's right for me, not some forced tax corporation.
You made the fatal mistake of telling the BBC you're cancelling. They like you to think you have to and will try to dissuade you. Easier to just cancel your direct debits and move on - you are under no legal obligation to have any dealings with the BBC.
When you stop shopping at a certain retail outlet or website, do you tell them? Though not, so why the BBC? They are corporation and have zero authority
@@robtheplod I get that, but I had paid until October wanted money back that belongs to me.
Its amazing people are daft enough to pay
Renaming of the 'TV Licence' needs to be changed to 'TV live broadcast programme Licence' which at least is a more honest description of the despicable tax.
Then what about computers, mobile phones, tablets and BBC iPlayer?
@@gmo4250Well, its really difficult to monitor what content that you watch on the devices mentioned, especially on mobile phones, even though they try to enforce this in their advertising with very little luck. A home tv that has an aerial socket and an aerial is what is considered a accessible to live tv.
Not a tax I pay. It's a subscription, I don't subscribe, so I pay nothing. End of story
@@MikeEves
It's not a subscription, broadly it's a licence to use a "TV Receiver" to watch/record live TV.
People must be thick to pay it.
I thought it was being abolished in 2027 how did they get away with not getting it abolished then?
Five years Licence free and it feels great, almost liberating
in a world where choice is king ... forced payment backed by intimidation and the courts makes the bbc considerably less than ‘Truly Amazing’
I hope they keep the licence fee, that way I don't have to pay it. I am quite capable of saying no thanks & shutting the door.
Keep it up my good mate I have not had a TV licence for ages I am disabled and cannot get out anymore anyone at my door I do not open my door to anyone only my care worker
It’s sad that people still pay the bbc
A former neighbour told Blackwood Magistrates that he hadn't had a licence for fifteen years but he got a brahma of a picture. They were not impressed.
I do not pay license. I do not have a TV. I can watch BBC TV programs on the internet.. I live in Australia.
I want to be a worldwide enforcement officer...just so I can get a tan. 😂
It'll end up as a form of tax. It won't be optional, like a subscription based service, or funded by adverts, so everyone will have to pay, whether it's on your council tax bill or through PAYE.
The only saving grace is that the prosecutions will stop.
But either way, it's absolutely disgusting.
When was I, an 82yr old pensioner, and 10 neighbours of similar age asked?
Hopefully they keep the licence fee so that we can continue not paying it and not watching the useless drivel that is known as "live tv".
Stopped my licence two years ago. Doing it legally as only watch RUclips Netflix sky movies. Am 75 now and will never ever watch bbc and live tv agin
Sky movies is that on sky, BT, Virgin satellite, if so that's live TV
You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch live on streaming services - such as ITVX, Channel 4, RUclips, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go.
You don't need a TV Licence if you never watch live on any channel, pay TV service or streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer*.
This includes recording and downloading. On any device.
Watching RUclips
You don’t need a TV Licence to watch videos or clips on demand on RUclips.
But you DO need a TV Licence if you watch TV live on RUclips. An example of this would be watching Sky News live. But it isn’t just live news or sport which needs a licence - it’s any programme which is part of a TV channel, shown or transmitted for everyone to watch at the same time.
What is streaming?
Streaming is watching TV using the internet instead of downloading a file to your device and watching it later
Why has nobody ever went to court fought this. Over the monopoly that they have over live television.
They don't have a monopoly. This is legacy legislation from the early days of TV, when ITV wanted to enter the TV market to compete against the official government broadcaster, BBC. ITV were happy to fund their activities with advertising. The TV Licence is for the privilege of receiving TV, it's not a BBC licence. OK, all the money goes to the BBC, but it is slightly different. I'm not saying I agree with it, just pointing out it's not a monopoly. I think it is long overdue a reform and over the years from just one TV channel and a couple of radio stations BBC has grown into a monster. They complain about lack of funds because successive Governments have let them expand their organisation.
Of course its 'truly amazing' it stuffs his pockets.
Don't forget the £2.1 billion, up from £1.6 billion, that BBC Studios raked in last year as well on a purely commercial basis, a lot of which is earned from recycling old programmes that have already been paid for with the licence fee. How do they get away with it indeed.
BBC studios are owned by the BBC any profit they make goes back to the BBC. BBC studios revenue(not profit) was £2.1 billion, with a profit of £240 million going to the BBC.
With the advance in electronics it must be possible to to have a device to remove the BBC from your network and TV
Stop paying silly money for mediocre staff.
4 yrs license free!
If they put it in as a tax you have the right to apply for a rebate if the tax is not applicable. This might mean a visit from a tax inspector but once proved you do not pay it again. No more goons no more taking vulnerable people to court. As you say if you do not watch what you shouldn't you do not have to pay.
Forget programmes broadcast or streamed under the BBC banner ever carrying advertising. The BBC don't want to. They much prefer their funding handed to them on a plate and no government would ever allow it. Forget a subscription model too. That would also be too difficult for the BBC and, again, unacceptable to any government.
Unfortunately, the real danger we face is being taxed to pay for the BBC, the most likely form being an addition to council tax or a broadband subscription, as these would still be on a per household basis.
truly amazing to him as it pays his obscene salary
They arnt going to let a what in essence is a tax for most people go away!
Just more greed
We need to spread the word that you don't need to pay a TV licence to watch programs it depends on what you are watching
Even if forced to pay. I will never watch the bbc.
I guarantee if he gets to put up the license fee for the more affluent he will never reduce it for the disadvantaged.
