BBC’s Warning To Non Licence Fee Payers! 😱 

80,000 people a month now are cancelling, so their income will start to take a hit hence the desperation!

Agreed. Giving up to use a Firestick has weaned me off TV. The drug is no longer desirable.

@@KateJones77342 urm give us reasons to give us a laugh!!

I see it every now and then when I visit people. I've not yet seen anything I would want to watch at home, apart from the news but I can get that online anyway. Everything else I have seen seems to be trash or outdated.

yeah not interested in bbc at all, why does anyone british watch that crap

I approve of this message and is factually correct.

and is a total mugg

@@clare6249 Well considering 80,000 a month are doing the same? Besides registered blind should not pay a dam thing in the first place? Threatening blind people with fines…WTF! Added bonus for doing your paperwork correctly too.. lol 😂

​@@clare6249 Just my opinion, but technically nothing, you have a visual impairment, you should not pay anything. END OF STORY. Justifying yourself for a license that isn't a license in the first place anyway? (Technically speaking in my view) such circumstance should be given the option to make a donation in accordance with your circumstances and be taken on faith alone, no problems if you don't.. instead they attempt to tie you into the legal system... and i mean taken on faith alone, no forms, no nothing, none of their business. I hope you feel good about no longer requiring a TV license.. 🤩

​@@clare6249never understood why the blind get concessions but the deaf don't.

But that's only because you don't watch anything you're not supposed to, surely? So what's the point of not buying a TV licence?

Anyone paying the fee is a coward. Proud of Mr Mortice for defending your own rights and not submitting to tyranny 👏🏽

@@brimkathstampex2306 They wouldn't know if you did.

If you don’t pay for a license, then don’t watch the broadcasted channels.

​@@brimkathstampex2306So your going to have tea and crumpets with the king. Well bully for you.

I did not realize 80,000 each week That is great are leaving, I wish I had done it earlier, Three years free now expecting another visit any day now the letter as stated

don't worry about it if they visit. Say nothing but ask them to leave. Then shut the door. End of story.@@christinedavis5813

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@christinedavis5813 That's the average. It's sometimes peaked at about 90,000. I want to see this year's figures.

BBC know peoples attitudes and technology is against them and this trend is increasing.

Why bother opening the door?

Spot on. Everybody has to do that in the event of a Capita salesperson knocking on their door.

@@garylovell6017 Might be the Evri woman with some stuff I actually want.

@@FuelPoverty Don't they give a tracking so you'll know when they are more or less outside?

@@garylovell6017 Well they do, but I'm not young, and don't always have my phone in my hand, and besides, I wouldn't want to become scared to open my front door because the BBC has sent some clown round begging.

You missed the “R” out of CRAPITA!

The bonus is, it keeps my house warm,as i have an open fire.

And the letters are a nice reminder of how much you are saving by not having a licence

Collect them, post them back in one envelope with no postage.

I'm not paying for psy ops and social engineering on myself.. anyone paying it clearly supports peDoS and the latest wokery bs

Well said. It has got so expensive now it really has got to the stage where people are having to choose to eat or heat their homes. The BBC TV licence is really not a priority. This is all on the government.

Same, ive never had a tv licence and im in my 50's 😂

I literally put this reason down on my form for cancelling my TV licence months ago. "Why should I be forced into paying this annual tax, for a service that I don't use, so that you can overpay millionaires for hosting garbage tv programmes?" They accepted that and have never sent me a tv licence reminder or threatening letter since.

Well done. You’re up there with the great martyrs of history 😂

@@MiningForPies Thanks! Actually there was a detector van in my street back then and the 2 men were sitting at the back of the van with the back doors open I took a peek and so there was nothing in the vans. So stopped paying the TV Tax there and then.

A Capita salesman went to the extent of knocking on my door the other day. I'm pleased about this, because I like to be a member of the party.

Me too Angela. 22 months since I moved in here and I've had 24 letters. 😂😂 Someone loves me, aww. But... they don't know my name so they can't love me that much. I'm so brokenhearted 💔 🤭🤣🤣 I've never had a tv for 15 years either. 🙄

They love you, and you know you should be glad.

Same here. Not been in touch for over 12 years. I sent the letter back, in another envelope with Free Post.

@@margaretblack8538 Same here. Not had a tell lie vision for years. Used to get reminders, after reminder, and each time I would get out an envelope and put the reminder in it, and send it back with Free Post on it, and they actually received it. After this had gone on for some time they gave up as it must be costing them a fortune to pay the postage

The more of us that know this, the more desperate they become... So! Lets grow the numbers and 10x it!

They may have to give up some of their black limos that they all use, at the top of the pile that is the Bent Broadcasting C nts

Agreed. The method of transmission of the 'signal' and connectivity is outdated. This was acceptable many years ago but not today where we have digital connectivity that can be turned on and off at request or for non-payment. What is the licence guy going to say if we tell him to tell the BBC to stop sending an unwanted signal over the top of our home? I tell what he'll say. "That's not possible to do that sir/madam". No, because the BBC are forcing us to fund an outdated transmission system because they're not prepared to bring it into the 21st century as it'll likely bankrupt them🤷‍♂️

@@user-pl3ku2jj7h Well said. This is another age, an age of technology that the BBC are all too quick to use to sell itself and goods, but refuse to change the system to meter transmission. The bar stewards have another company to it that sells merchandise, DVD's, etc., and we have paid for the creating of them.

But then you don't watch anything that you 'shouldn't be watching?

Send them back, Free Post on the envelope as they will have to pay the postage. If more people did this they would give up, as they did me when I began to do this

Euro 2024 looks good, I will be watching wearing headphones........

@@chipbuttytime3396 who the hell watches Footy these days?! Omg 😂😂😂 thats hilarious😂

If you have a TV that is receiving national TV channel broadcasts, which you are watching, then you need to pay a contribution towards the costs of the service. Sound perfectly reasonable to me. It is also the law. Pay or don’t watch these broadcasted channels.

Z listers.

Captain big ears for starters....😂😂😂

And their pensions!

Problem with that mindset is that it implies 'new' media is somewhat different and/or superior. The reality is, is that the powers that be are many steps ahead of you. Where previously legacy media performed the task of indoctrination, this task has now fell upon 'new' media but in very different forms. 20 years ago I dealt with one of the first forms chat/comment bots. They were primitive and required careful kneeling. Today, they are almost indistinguishable from human interaction, which is helped by public ignorance of their existence. These bot (bot farms) are controlled by the same organisations funding legacy media (dot gov) and thus pushing identical agendas.

@@SemeshkoV Yes, of course. I think the problem is that we in the West enjoyed a long period of relative freedom as a result of which many, if not almost all, have lost the ability to analyse our deluge of ‘information’ sceptically. Eastern Europeans and Russians retain a better ability to discern BS precisely because they were fed so much of it during the commie years and knew how to sniff it out. Discernment is everything and is obviously required even when avoiding the main cesspit - the legacy media.

​@@SemeshkoVnew media doesn't only include trending material from anonymous users on X or facebook, but a huge amount of online sources and a huge amount of diverse internet personalities posting live shows and content accessible for years. New media reality is magnitudes wider that the extremely narrow band version of legacy media, today in the palm of our hands we have access to the collective info and knowledge, something unimaginable 3 decades ago. Of course many (if not most) people still prefer accessing only a tiny band of info and fall victims to bot manipulation and the algorithm that keeps feeding the same content, but it is such a shame to faithfully tune in to legacy media to watch a bunch of carefully curated stories when there is a vast world to explore. Of course I wouldn't pay for the useless agenda driven BBC.

So we're calling Ladbible "legacy media" now are we? 😂

@@markwilson6473 no. Nobody does.

@philipgreaves5425 >> You do know that the PTB's + BBC ain't going to give all this easy money up, from a simple but long standing tax system in place any time soon right? Under present system you can opt in or out depending if you watch live broadcasts + I player (required) or catch up (no licence needed) You don't get issues if you follow the LLF rules their simple but effective with 0% issues. Remember NO CONTACT RULE......... how hard is it? Easy! 😊Oh yes TV detector vans don't exist.... never have worked if they didn't work the past either - The BBC calls it 'the scare factor' to brain wash you into paying up! If they 'abolish' it they'd just cook up another system in it's place that you cannot opt out of like now you can, ever think of that angle Philip? Your not playing with petty criminals here, it's the higher management of this country that governors us all (well tries). They said we got to 2027 with current system then they rethink/adjust the who thing yet again ... which means if the TVL goes... it's going to be non- opt out everyone pays & direct taxation from either council tax (reason not to pay or not now) or base taxation from central government. Be careful for what you wish for!!

LADBible has never qualified as journalism, nothing more than clickbait nonsense with zero critical thought

Irony at it's best

I think you need to reinforce the range of accuracy available a bit: option 4 (only slightly less accurate than Tom) the primordial slime

The lad bible full stop, and “politicsJoe”

Had a pro licence commenter recently who said we should all pay and we are evaders... Changed his tune when I asked why he had not paid his membership fees for all the clubs that I pay a fee to.. Just because you don't use a club does not mean you should not pay the fees right? I think he got it in the end? You should not pay for what you do not use. :)

@@WhiteDieselShedtheir arguments are weak. Someone referred to the license as a tax and this one troll goes on to compare the TV licence tax with other services that he doesn’t use. Like the BBC is an essential service.

​@CRTSteExactly, Carling Bank Label since when?

Courts are part of the injustice system. They're not there to punish actual criminals (just look at how criminal MPs etc are, and get away with) courts are ONLY there to extract money from the peasants

Like the council with council tax, the BBC hires the courts and staff for the day, it's not a court, its a pantomime, it's also fraud and its highly unlawful. This country needs an enema top down for once.

@@Ricardofromage Most people don’t watch live TV and you hate the BBC, so you don’t need a licence fee do you

GREED!!!

No one else understands it either. But bbc greed is the most probable answer. Xx

Once upon a time in the middle ages the BBC sometimes.......maybe maintained the broadcasting equipment for the nation. Those days are long past though.

@@Kakarot64. Thanks for that! I had been wondering how that came about, myself. Now I know!

I had been wondering that too. Why pay for Sky tv, ITV, ect?

Why? I don't recall reading that the BBC has been (or will be) bailed out by the tax payer.

And dont forget the pension fund deficit.

No, it's not all taxpayers, the BBC licence is only paid by fools who still want to use their services or the fearful who are scared and bullied into paying for it.

The reason the BBC have the black hole is not merely because of all the monies paid to PR agencies, but the vast sums paid into employee pension pots - which is eye watering.

Ahhh.. no... they get round that by sending mail shots to unlicensed address as the "Occupier" and "resident" every year... As TV license is a forced annual subscription and the "occupier" or "resident" can change on an annual basis. Remember... there is no requirement to either transfer your existing licences to another address, there is no requirement to inform TV license you have moved... Hence unlicensed addresses.....😆 Unlicensed addresses is nothing more than an assumption and presumption.

The best way to deal with them is to send the letter back, addressed Free Post. I did this so often that for the past twelve years have received none. It costs the tv people a lot of monies in postage, to receive post back

It is and probably against GDPR, you can only keep records of customers personal information while there is a legitimate and quantifiable reason. If you are no longer a customer and past the time span you can request they remove any personal details from their records, they have to comply. Would be interesting to see how a solicitor with the relevant knowledge would view that. Maybe someone with some real cash could take it to court and run it as a test case. It depends on if your address is classed as personal information or not I guess?

The no licence addresses are normally sent to 'Legal Occupier'. But the TV licence is covered by legislation that allows them to proceed as they do.

@@steve5x565 Interesting.. Couple of questions for you.. out of curiosity? Genuine curiosity? Will you respond with out interference? lol

But someone else who never watches anything that they shouldn't be watching. Just watch whatever you like. What can they do?

I couldn't give two,fks wtf the law says I don't buy tv licence imdidnt pay made up childmsupport payments either or pay made up,fines and such never have never will I don't pay make believe made up debt threats....

Next month, open the letter, bin the contents and reseal the envelope and send it back.

@independentvoice6686 great idea

Yes I get one every couple of months,

@@John-ou4rm open the door and say no thank you while i drink milk a cookies with my fellow club members watching netflix or amazpn prime

I use IPTV

Ive had them for year and just rip them up. I will never buy one

There's nothing "lad" about that drivel

From official figures, the number of TV licences is 24,372,000 declining at the rate of 10,270 a week. At that rate it over 45 years to reduce to zero.

They cant, as they use the BBC charter to tie their hands on purpose! Hence... Nothing can be done until 2027.... this is called deferring responsibility, 2027 will turn up... Nothing will change..... rinse and repeat....2035 on we go... Any government has a 5 or 3 year term.. BBC charter just gets extended with no way to change it, because of vested interests....

@@ditch3827 Yes, but the reduction in licence fee received at that rate would cause utter panic...

@@ditch3827at some point it will snowball. When the majority aren’t paying those that are left will cancel en masse.

​@@DMC888 I doubt that very much. On the whole UK people are easily led sheep who love their TVs and the content thereof. I don't understand it, but television is still the preferred medium and propaganda tool for the masses.

A very good summary.

Plus you don’t need a tv licence when residing at his majesty’s pleasure

I couldn’t agree more!

YOU CANNOT GO TO PRISON FOR NOT PAYING THEIR "TAX" it's a civil matter NOT criminal.

Do u need it if ur streaming the radio ont tinternet?

When you say it like that it sounds exactly like one of those emails scammers send out to trick you into transferring the contents of your bank account.

@@Kakarot64. Do you mean to say that you find my use of grammar lacking? Or perhaps that my ability to express my inner thoughts through the use of writing is somewhat unsatisfactory? Or is it something that I actually did say earlier, verbally, while you were keeping tabs on me o.O? Perhaps all of the above?

Sorry about that!

No, what he is saying is that the company which represents the bbc, Capita, is acting like the scammers who rip people off. The way that they phrase their threatening letters and are demanding payment IMMEDIATELY.

It isn’t. When you end up watching some on demand catch up from 30 years ago and you realise it is better quality watching than anything currently on then you know its not worth it.

That was a scare tactic essentially.

You didn't fall for that trick did you?

@@mda5003 back in the 60's yes, plus military protocol requires obedience The licence board knew somehow I recently saw they are still using this tactic.. it wasn't but a couple of " quid" at the time. Maybe they were just looking for antenna's.

If you started sooner the BBC would have been a good supplier of free toilet paper back during the "Great Plandemic Toilet Paper Draught"

Why? Do yourself a favour and don't answer the door.

You can watch whatever you like on any channel you like, for as long as you like. Nobody's going to know are they, and even if they do know, there's absolutely nothing they or anybody else can do about it.

There is a Law , called Demanding Money with Menaces..

THE BBC IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. By addressing the letters to "The legal occupier", and not a named individual, they circumvent the charge of harassment. Open window envelopes with legends in huge red letters, "Local investigation active in (insert your postcode)", a red circle highlighting a date, and other scurrilous tactics, are all designed to shame. And permissible. White, brown and red envelopes sent monthly containing letters with threatening language are meant to intimidate. Multiply one million pounds, 3,800 times, (£3.8 billion), their ANNUAL receipts for licence fees, for an answer to why the BBC & the government continue these tactics.

You'll never get anything from someone who swore an oath to serve the crown (London city ban K1nG mafia. Not sausage fingers)

Awful 😢😢😢 Unnecessary behaviour on their part

Royal Mail also hold the details of over 30 million UK postal addresses and is required by law to maintain this and make it available for a reasonable charge. I'm sure you wouldn't want your address removed from that although it might stop a few bills from landing on your doormat.

@@mda5003You can understand the Royal Mail having a list of all UK postal addresses as it is their job to deliver post to every house in the UK but the BBC should not have the same access, if you don’t do business with them. It’s like Companies such as Walkers (of crisps fame) or Citroen etc having access to your details, even though you never do business with them. Why should they have that information?

@@rivermoon6190 But they could pay Royal Mail to obtain that information in the same way, presumably, that TVL obtain the information? How do you stop them if it is legal and doesn't go against data protection? It's like parking companies paying the DVLA to obtain your details to issue a charge for parking.

@@mda5003 yeah but then even on the grounds of "legitimate interest" I'd argue they still don't meet that requirement?

@@TheWebstaff It should be made illegal but remember the BBC/TVL have the Royal Charter on their side. Let's see what the next Govt do when it comes up for renewal in 2027.

Even if they did (go back to honest impartial reporting), most still wouldn't go back to paying - bkuz they've done too much damage, and the trust has gone.

Was the BBC ever truly unbiased?

'Unbiased news content'? You must be joking.
