Slimey Horrible Creatures 

Stop paying the EVIL TV TAX, END THE DISGUSTING BBC TV TAX NOW !

I can afford it, but I choose not to pay it. I despise the BBC with a passion..........

No need to be ashamed, not funding the BBC should be worn as a badge of honour! 👍

Hate when people like Lineker who simply read a autocue are referred as "Stars"

It's about time these magistrates are called out by the general public NOT IN MY NAME I want to see criminals in a court not people struggling to keep their heads above water.

Prosecuting poor people so the BBC can pay Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball more than a million a year each is simply disgraceful. The Licence Fee MUST be scrapped.

Defund them now

Just had my first visit from a goon today. First thing he asked was "Do you live here?" I said "Who are you?" He said "TV licencing" I said "No thanks" then shut the door. It's quite simple folks!!

Slimey Horrible creatures. Love it when you're being nice😂

Had a goon visit the other day . Banged on my door like a copper would . Looked through me peep hole . Saw it was a goon and simply went back to watching the tv . 😀

All this naming and shaming over a tv license fee … whilst all these foreign illegal migrants that attack people with weapons walk away unnamed!! and certainly not shamed , !! It’s disgusting whats happening lately in this country , I can’t see the public staying quite for much longer

I shut the door on one and 2 weeks later got a letter saying that they have noted that I wish to withdraw the 'common law right' for tv licensing's officers to approach the property. But i did not. I just shut the door.

I was born in the 60’s, and the BBC were something to be proud of for many years. Well worth the license fee. However, they no longer make quality programs for the age group still interested. It is disgusting that these goons prey on poor women and the elderly, the most vulnerable in society. I have preached your message to my elderly mother and talked her out of the, “ I’ll just let them in to prove I’m not doing anything wrong approach.

Not paid it for years and never will! Door gets closed everytime never had an issue

I'm 100% with you. This is a disgusting state of affairs. Why aren't MPs kicking off about this? This is harassment.

Releasing domestic abuse victims names and addresses is a serious safety breach they should be sued for everything 🤬🤬

And the majority of them are driving illegally with technically no insurance, as visiting door to door for commercial purposes requires level 3 business insurance. So who are the criminals?

It's just totally disgusting that they dare to charge £159 a year for nothing but utter rubbish TV programs.

Meanwhile those that block highways are not even sent to the naughty step !

1,700 people a week!! a few things, come on people wise up and stop giving the goons the means to convict you - its SO simple!! also, what a complete waste of court time.

Anyone who pays for a TV licence is complicit

Don’t know how they can look at that themselves in the mirror

Tired of saying it, an unanswered/unopened door cannot possibly incriminate itself.

The TV license is the best kind of problem you can have. The kind where you ignore it and it goes away. If only our other problems could be dealt with so easily.

People should be proud of having their name in the news paper for not having a TV licence.

What’s even more disgusting is ~13,333 people on low income who feel forced to pay the fee are contributing to just ONE man’s severely overpaid wage (Gary Lineker). How about pay him nothing for a year (let him see how hard it is) and gift those struggling 13,333 people a £150 rebate to help with their energy or food bill!

Decent programming would be good start! Instead of paying woke “Stars”? Because they are worth it! Local rags are also a waste of money!

I've never paid the tax and never will they can send as many pointless letters as they like they'll never scare me

Just moved into my house. Waiting for two things. My new 55 inch TV ( not for live tv of course) and a visit from a goon. I hate the Lineker financial support company with a passion I only keep for child molesters.

I went to my local butcher today and bought a lovely t-bone steak and some beef burgers for just over £13. Better spent than a monthly TV licence payment.

Its like talking to a brick wall jon talking to some Sheeple.

If they have no evidence then how can they get a warrant

1700 were taken to court to be fined £2700ish in total ! How much did the letters leading up to the event cost ? How much did the 'enforcement officers' get paid ... what %age did their company take ? What was the cost to the public purse for taking these matters to court !?! I wonder how many TV Taxpayers are funding a return of £2700 ?

Make them subscription ONLY, then if you want it you pay, if you don't you don't.................problem solved, so obvious !!!

I wonder if they go into ethnic areas.

£159 is the equivalent of one week pension for many people of pension age.

I went to my hairdresser today, whom I see maybe twice a year. She remarked that she was totally amazed that neither myself nor my mother watch TV. Scary what people remember! She got it from my 85 yo mother. I’m even amazed people are still addicted to watching live TV. I assured the lady that Netflix and RU-vid offer ample entertainment options.

Christmas demands arrive in red envelopes. Happy Christmas.

I was living in England in 1974 and I didn't have a TV licence. I received a letter from TV licencing saying they were aware that I had a television, but if I paid the licence fee within a certain period no further action would be taken. In those days there was no way they could know for certain if you had a TV or not and the letter was probably all bluff. I did have a small black and white portable TV that I hardly ever watched, so I just paid the fee. Had I known then what I know now I would have probably just ignored the letter.

I’m proud to say I don’t pay for this disgusting tax.

I keep getting letters from them asking if I will be in on such and such a day but they never turn up. I wish they would call I a ready for a quick door close. Thank you Jon.❤

159 quid a year is a lot of money for shite.

I was taught as a child in Primary School not to talk to strangers, those TV Licence Parasites look like strangers to me…so listen everybody, don’t talk to them…what’s the definition of ‘a stranger’ ?

Hate that the newspapers still use the word evasion not paying for something you don’t need isn’t evasion

If they haven't got an appointment i don't answer the door to anyone 😅🎉

Your Analogy to the goons being salesmen is 100% Spot on... I love that line as it makes it so clear to everyone exactly what is going on with the BBC Licensing tactics. Respect, your Mum should be proud! :o) Keep getting annoyed and spreading the word.

I caught 1 outside my next door peeking in her window the rotter

I tell everyone. Do not pay, do not say! To get rid of these ridiculous people all you have to do is nothing. Nothing at all! Ignore, withdraw. I don't want any of their crap, I'm not buying it!

to pay slugs like Gary lineker

I think most of us feel the same Jon. It's disgusting that this massive, wealthy corporation, goes after the weak, poor and struggling people to demand money and threatens them with thousand pound fines and court appearances.

They were hauled before the courts because they spoke to the goons. Fear factor is all they have.😢

I've dumped the BBC and the licence fee , because of their woke left wing coverage of the news , where they make pretty damed sure that their viewers are kept in the dark , by glossing over the actual truth . They've sent me an enforcement letter to try to frighten me , which has only stiffend my resolve to dump them anyway.

I'm kind of lucky, the building doesn't even let them in because they don't know my name and can't request entrance to see me, and are rejected permission to enter the building. for context I live in a block of flats, not a great place, but the landlords do protect you from cold callers pretty well.

That poor woman in the abusive situation. So where and why does the "fine" vary so greatly between her and the poor man with the tax burden? Once theyd heard the latter's story, WTF, why not just accept it - jeez, instead of just threatening people? Let the lapsed ones pay the fee if its fairly clear they technically "need" a stupid licence. Why go on and waste the courts' time?? Its clearly vindictive.

TOP TIPS: If you get someone you don't know come to your door...then ignore it! I have for years and watch with glee when neigbours open the door to Jehovah's Witnesses or Door to door salesmen or Charity muggers . If you are expecting a parcel , you can usually clearly see they are delivering something and usually come in a marked van or have a company uniform . The likes of EVRI usually have the same drivers doing the same routes so are easily recognisable . If a TV Goon turns up to your house with the police then DO NOT answer the door , DO NOT go to your door ... No matter how much the police insist you have to come to the door and open it DO NOT engage with them, regardless of threats . DO NOT give ANY details , They DONT know your name so you cannot be charged with hindering . DO NOT Leave anything like bills or letters with your name on in public view DO remove yourself from view (ideally you will have spotted them as they approach the property first) DO Keep ALL doors and ground floor windows locked and keys out of the door and out of view (its just good security anyway) DO have some form of privacy screening I.E full length net curtains ,cover over the inner letterbox to stop letterbox snooping etc. If you don't 'Appear' to be in then they will go . HOWEVER, I do believe they are entitled to come back with the same warrant and a Police officer at a later date BUT that warrant is only valid for a limited period of time . If the goon manages to confront you even with the warrant then they cannot legally execute such a warrant without a police officer present. The role of the Police Officer: Their role is as a "peace keeper" to observe and to ensure no breech of the peace has been committed . They are NOT there to assist or force entry . If you happen to get caught with the police and a goon and you think a police officer is over stepping their remit then POLITELY but FIRMLY REMIND them of their role , tell them to go check with their superiors before THEY break the law. I stand to be corrected on any of the above information .

Many years ago when I was young and naive and had just got my own house, I had a visit from one of these guys. I didn’t have a licence as I didn’t have any TV services. Not knowing any better I invited him into my house. However, I have to be honest, this guy was sound. He declined my invite and said “No, I don’t think there’s any need for me to do that”. He thanked me for my time and left. Never had a visit since. Still don’t have a licence. I still get emails every couple of years asking me to confirm I still don’t need one. Despite the decent one, I’d never invite them in now that I know better.

I was fined twice for not having a TV licence. Both times I told my lawyer I couldn't pay it and I done community service instead of the fine! The second time was funny I was picking up rubbish at the side of the road and I found a fiver!

Great stuff Jon👏 Got another bright red envelope the other day saying the Goons are on their way!!😅😂🖕 Keep up the good fight mate👊👍

I wish someone would demand a FOI of how many inspections are made in poorest areas and how many in middle and upper class areas.

ive shared this video the amount of letters i have gotten and put straight into the bin and letters of visits straight in bin

Many thanks for sharing this disturbing video Jon. We live in a very sad time ☹️☹️☹️

I got home yesterday and found a red envelope letter

Britain 2023. Shameful.

Best invention ever !!!!!!! The ring door camera . On holiday in Tenerife told them to piss off😂😂😂😂 .

Newspapers are only good for one thing wiping crap with crap when you ran out of toilet paper

Surprised you haven't mentioned that brown's boys sheet is on twice over xmas.

I am not short of money and so have always paid the T.V. licence to avoid all the hassle and I pay my Grandparents Licence as well. But have often thought that how fantastic it would be if a law was brought into effect to stop the BBC getting money from everybody out of Work and on benefits inc Disabled and all retired people. Maybe a pipe dream at the moment but can't stop hoping. The BBC would have to go on adverts and subscriptions if it happened and no reason why not.

Absolutely spot-on video! It's ludicrous how the system criminalizes ordinary folks struggling with life's burdens. And about the BBC's iPlayer - it's eerie how they can tell if you're using it. Like, are we living in a surveillance state now? The whole TV license scenario feels like a dystopian plot where you get punished for not paying up, regardless of your circumstances. It's time for a change. People should have the freedom to choose without fear of being hounded or shamed. Keep speaking the truth!

It's a badge of honour isn't it ?

1 had my 90 year old neighbour neat in tears

£159 goes a long way at Christmas for many families .

We may as well, post the license fee direct to Hamas. They can create their own propoganda without the middleman, then. They wont bother with diversity though.

So they obviously decided that it waa in the public interest to prosecute that domestic abuse survivor. Tells you all you need to know.

The courts make money on this, I suggest a day out on TVL day at the court, its a conveyor belt sheep dip. usually around 100 a day

the easy way to not pay for a tv license is not to watch tv, not at all, i havent had a tv for over 10yrs, there is no way that i will pay for a service that i don't use. they still try sending letters, i just ignore them, i go online and fill out the i do not need a tv license, and they leave me alone for a couple of years. just don't use it, there are plenty of options, you have to pay to watch most things, either pay per view, or cable, internet, netflix, amazon prime, etc. etc. etc. you will have to pay one way or other, but you have the choice not to pay the BBC. fek em.

I had to laugh. I’ve recently sent in 2 complaints to the BBC. Then today a friend rang me, and he told me he’s just sent his own complaint to the BBC about something else. If we’re representative of anything, the BBC’s Complaints Dept must be swamped. 😂

They're hopelessly behind the times. At one time TV was value for money, when it was only that or the cinema or a few expensive videotapes. It was plausible to think everyone who had a TV but no licence was acting illegally. But now there are so many ways to watch video content without breaking the law. I worry that many people, like one of my workmates and her son, still think it's OK to watch live TV as long as it's not BBC. No matter what I say, they're happy to tell the inspectors that, and land themselves in it.

Just had the letter in a red envelope, looking forward to the goons turning up at my door. No thank you, close the gate on you're way out. p.s . Nice rant... :)

At this time of year, Jon, people on fixed incomes need £159 to put towards the leccy bill.

Like all salesmen, the motto of TV licence salesmen will be, "Never give a sucker an even break" and, it seems, there are an awful lot of suckers out there. If they weren't on commission, by the way, they would visit fewer houses, find fewer suckers and Capita's lucrative contract with the BBC would be at risk. I can't see Capita changing anything there.

Please don't insult Slimey horrible Creatures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doxxing?? WTF 🤬🤬🤬

Few years ago BBC reps were in front of a parliamentary committee. Asked about cost of enforcement ......double the revenue retrieved. And it was millions. Waste of time.

Considering 80% of broadcast TV is repeats, licencing is even more of a joke? Paying for the same thing over and over, well its madness innit.

Cracking videos mate. We await our visit having stopped paying the licence tax. We don’t watch the required channels so will do the close door thing

Don’t even open the bloody door!!!!

this happened to me back in 2012 didnt fully understand tv licence rules and thought goons had authority told them truth and signed form got summoned to court next day all in local news oh i got fine of 98 reduced to 50 because of my mental health at the time anyway i learned from mistakes updated on rules and since then i have legally been tv licence free ans as jon says most of the things you would watch on tv can be watched for free on catch up not i player or youtube dailymotion and i keep urging people that if they dont watch tv as its broadcast you dont need licence but most of people i speak to are scared of goons and going to court

Using a Ring video doorbell can be a practical solution in the context of TV licensing enforcement officers. It offers several benefits: Security and Monitoring: You can see who is at the door without opening it. This is especially useful if you're wary of unexpected visitors like TV license enforcement officers. Record Keeping: Ring doorbells to record footage so you have a record of who visited and when. This can be valuable evidence if there's a dispute or you need to prove you didn't engage in a conversation with them. Remote Interaction: You can interact with visitors via your smartphone, allowing you to respond without confrontation. You can tell the officer you're uninterested without opening the door. Deterrent Effect: The presence of a camera often deters people from engaging in questionable behaviour. Knowing they're being recorded may discourage TV license officers from insisting on a conversation or using aggressive tactics.

Many years ago I was unemployed, going through a real rough time. When a job came up for a “motorcycle mounted civilian speed camera operative “. The salary was brilliant for around our part of the country. I spent hours filling out the 18 pages on the application form. Completed ready for posting I started thinking of the potential of putting others into my predicament by loosing their licenses and therefore their jobs. I binned the thing and took two part time jobs instead, it was a struggle but I have never regretted that decision. These idiot goons have the chance to make the same decision but choose to pedal misery!

I had a red envelope through the door today. Does that mean the goons are wishing me a Happy Christmas?

Oh god and there’s me thinking they were caught by the “ detector van “ whilst “ watching Columbo “ 🤔🤡😂

God in Australia they stoped the tv tax in the 50, s .

List of worst jobs in 1 TV Licence Goon. 2 Politician. 3 Solicitor

If BBC went subscription style funding itself, Gary Lineker would get a Tenner a week pay.

You don't see these clowns at crowded HMOs or council estates.... Weird.

Just like the BBC Stars above euheuheuh!

my TV WORK'S fine with out a licence thanks BBC

The goons were probably bullied at school, so now think it's their turn to be the bullies.

For those got caught, don't feel sad and embarrassed. It is the BBC is shameful.

Most "local" papers are owned by 1 company have a look into that
