What Is The Point? 

In 63yrs i have never felt the need to use the BBC world service, in English or any other language!

How much money a year do they spend to send letters to 'The Occupier'?

We'll never get rid of them if Liebour get in power! Everyone must cancel their licence!

I got another letter to 'The Occupier'. Bottom wipe fodder !!

Broadcasting in 40 languages across London more like, but they'd still make it cost £300 million.

That is really a scandal, wasting so much of people's money. They do it cause they can. We need to wake others up to the scam and say 'No more'.

I last paid the TV licence in 2006, so I have saved 18 TV licence payments since then. That must be at least £2,000 lb. Sued. And, frankly I know how to spend it better than the BBC does 🙂

£300 Million?? That's not far short of £1 million a DAY.! Whata lotta BO _ _ OX

Havn;t got a licence and never will.

I don't pay the TV licence and I'll never pay again.

Because they want to speak to everyone but they don’t speak for you, ..nor me.

I have am important question, the BBC charge everyone in the UK that watch live TV, which I'm not one of them, for watching live TV, why? Why do they make you pay to watch a channel they don't own like channel 4, HTV, channel 5 and all the other live TV channels that finance themselves by using adverts, so why can't we watch those companies without having the BBC taking us to court?

please remind people that its not just the world service its also the BBC Pidgin English channel too !

World service what a joke .

How many people in those countries pay a licence fee to access BBC services? No, I thought not.

£80m at £169.50 per tax is 471,976 peons paying them. What a waste.

Why should we the English people pay for the bbc full stop let alone this bbc world crap

My licence is due, but I'm not buying another one, the first time ever. Our last licence was in my late mothers name so I'm not on their records. Should be fun to see what the outcome will be. I need a TV to watch my home cini film on DVD. I won't engage with any BBC sales personnel knocking on my door either.

It's called propaganda

BBC bar tab ! Has Jeremy remembered where that £1000 cheque went ?

If Labour get in the BBC will have a street party ! 🤣

I fail to see why I should pay so brazilians can listen to the world service

I find what news I want on the Internet never watched bbc World service never will

There is no need for anyone to pay £169.50 for a licence. Cancel the licence and don't watch BBC - unless there's something specific you want to see, they will never know.

As they say GO WOKE YOU GO BROKE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. But at least itv are self funded, and they are struggling

Frigging ridiculous. Glad I cancelled.

I hope they start sending threatening letters out in 40 Languages, they'd never fit through the letterbox.

World service needs to be stopped. And all the language stations. Being saying for years

Im 59 yrs and never payed for telly -never will, the letters light a good fire..an when they call just say nothing an close the door-its all very simple i dont know why some folk get there knickers in a twist over it--OPEN DOOR AND CLOSE DOOR--job done.

I’m not paying for a youtube licence and yet I’m obviously watching it. Why pay? Whilst it had something of merit in the past it has now become insulting insidious patronising dumb down foreign propaganda.

Surley with the freedom of information act, tv should be free. Why do we need to pay a tax to have a tv in our house. Absolutely beggers' belief. I never watch any BBC channels or radio stations. This needs to be cancelled as it's more like robbery than anything else

They pay out an absolute fortune chasing homes without licences.obviously big losses there.. But that's just another P.O scandal for the future

the bbc will be more than happy to see the licence scrapped and get their garaunteed money from a general tax that every body will have to pay..they dont have to do anything except sit there and watch it roll in...

40 different languages live in Britain😅😅😅😊😊😊 fact

When you're given almost £4bn a year without having to work for it, you ought to have a VERY healthy surplus at the end of the year.

Not only is the BBC still receiving donations from the EU, and now Bill Gates, people should never forget what that entails if they and others like past and present politicians etc want to continue to receive that payment from the EU, but I can remember back just after the 2016 UK referendum when I was on holiday abroad the BBC world service was putting it about in such a biased way countries main news programs abroad were saying that the UK had made a mistake because they had 'left Europe'.

What special news and programmes do they broadcast that no one else will spend £300m on?

They have been sending letters in my name after I cancel my direct debit. A few days ago a letter came was addressed to the legal occupier. Today I watched through my window as a man walked up to my door and put a letter through the letter box. It says please do not ignore. I unfold it and it as TV licensing logo on it. In red capital letters it says OUR RECORDS SHOW YOUR PROPERTY HAS NO TV LICENCE. ACT NOW, TO AVOID FURTHER INVESTIGATION. It goes on, not in capital. You haven't responded to our previous communications about this address being unlicensed, so you were visited today. This was to officially notify you that our investigation is being escalated to the next stage. To stop this progressing, you need to take action now. I did try to do the noTV on their website a while back but I didn't. I will wait and see what happens next.

Please like share and subscribe to Jon's channel, it helps spread the word and helps his channel. He absolutely deserves to get to the hundred thousand mark.

BBC also has a large TV drama studio department based at properties at Birmingham University, Selly Oak, Birmingham.

I spent years working in the middle east and did not watch the biased world service following there reporting of the terrorist attacks at the 3 compounds in Riyadh Saudi Arabia back in May 2003

I think IV just received the 4th letter saying my address is in final investigation with a goon is to visit my address, well that's a repeat of letters for no use and no follow up..... To me, that's annoying waist of there dwindling income. Lol

Hiya.. Just got back from Paphos Cyprus. Tried to watch BBC I.Player out there, even though We pay the BBC tax, We was not allowed to watch it there as it located that We was outside the UK, This also said same thing for ITV X and My5. This is so not on as we was denied catch up even though the BBC took our monthly direct debit for the unfair tax.. Phil' & Sharon, Cornwall..

I must admit that as a world service listener it beats by far the anguished phone ins on BBC radio 5. Some of its content is fascinating, learning something new from across the world in science, medicine, religion politice etc. Could I do without it?, of course, but as a 'private eye' reader I get all the news necessary long before it hits tv and the press. For example, the mag has covered the Post Office scandal for decades, and also the Ben Houchen fiasco on Tees side, so who needs the beeb?

Good vid Jon. Three things. If the World Service has strategic importance, it seems a fairer way to fund it would be from via the FCDO. (Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office). They would in turn have to receive a budget increase to facilitate this. However, this would be fairer as the bill wouldn’t be footed by only the TV Licence payers. Additionally, if the FCDO were setting their budget, they would potentially have the power to ensure that the World Service production and output would be aligned with their objectives. The World Service objectives will likely already be driven by the FCDO, but by the time the costs to meet these objectives go through the BBC corporate machine, there is likely fat added to both output and overheads. This way it would have to stay within budget. With that in mind, would it potentially be worth considering splitting the World Service away from the BBC, kind of like BBC Studios has been?

great work, yes agree time for them to sort themselves out, and wake up to the puplic, whom have a right to make up their mind now, how outdated the licence tax is at this time, its now up to people now and doing my best on my channel, to make people make up their minds Thanks Inspector "C

Sir ChilliJon of Carne,you are bloody brill 👍👍

Did hear the rumour? TV license to go on everyone's council. Tax. End of.

And all of those 40 countries get to listen to programmes for them in their language but get to do it for free because we are paying for it, if 40 other countries paid for it the uk license fee would be £3

I have been all over the place and the BBC World Service is the most dour, half dead sounding broadcaster on the airwaves. They still sound today like they did back in WW2. And the UK licence fee payer is footing that bill? Typical so typical.

If you've payed by direct debit use the direct debit indemnity clawback on the back of the so called bill they send through your bank for a full refund

B B C world service, reviered by many, no license required.

Perhaps if the BBC hadn't closed down Pebble Mill studios (in Birmingham), they wouldn't have to be building new, more expensive ones now.

The BBC World Service has had considerable cuts over the Shortwave bands for it's world wide service, and it's rival competitor China Radio International are winning.

Why does walker crisps think lineker hasn't got enough to live on

Is it just us in Britain that pay for the TV licence or have the rest of the world got to pay as well

Do these people who get the world service pay a licence fee.

Licence free 10 years one visit only 😂

dr who. that answers everything

TV Guide looks dire, especially the bbc's output.

Why should you not be allowed to watch other live channels if you don’t have a licence’ that can’t be fair .

That picture looked like a young Mussolini. Should we be worried ?

Watching BBC through a VPN Connection?

When we had the Empire you can understand having the World Service,however we no longer have an Empire or are in any way a major player in world affairs so we no longer need it.What a typical out of date waste of time,effort and money.This country wastes so much money on trivial none important rubbish and the BBC in general part of that rubbish.

We're pretty good a making shit.

Export what??????

Bet its not £300 Million - that will be the direct cost only - it is probably close to triple that amount including all costs, pension commitments and overheads .

Power? What happened to reporting?

BBC world service tbh was a Godsend when working onboard ship around the world but that was back 1988, now with internet radio it's obselete.

SOFT POWER - meaning persuavive approach

i1m still waitying for them going lol

The world service is respected around the world, even in a modern world and it's content is broadcast on thousands of radio stations globally. More like 30 million listening, not 3

How do i watch live football without paying the licence?

I’ve said it for years. Privatisation of the BBC is great and adverts would be excellent and I WOULD pay for a separate NEWS Chanel all day long.

Great News!!! I got my 50% tv license for being registered blind😂 AND a refund for paying a full license the last 6 years!! Whoop. Thats £500 the BBC no longer have. Remember folks, anyone you know whos registered blind gets half price. And its the HOUSEHOLD. Just put the license in that persons name. It doesn't have to be the home owner. Anyone over 75 and on pension credit gets a FREE license.

The world service seems like something that should pay for itself. I mean aside from a few Brits abroad it's not really benefiting those who pay for it.

Mass Demonstrations out side the bbc

God hope other countries dont licence to bbc

How many of those countries population pay the BBC to watch or listen to the content, BBC creates for them?

Elon Musk waste a lot more money😊😊😊

hi, jon, i used to call them british baking channel. now is british bum channel.

A useful tool run by Tools

What is a radio?

Questions for you if you did a live stream do I need a TV license? Thanks

I don't live in the UK. However, if the BBC went back to reporting actual news and facts. I would donate!

Sincere question: what are the origins of your fixation the BBC licence fee? It’s an unusual issue to dedicate two You Tube channels to? What set you off on this vendetta? Did your choice on Strictly Come Dancing not win? Did Sue Barker’s removal from Wimbledon tip you over the edge? Something must have happened.

Please do a video on BBC Pidgin. Its insane.

Somebody tell the bbc that no one has a radio. People use a vpn and use the internet in other countries.

Kontrolle .....

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

Why do you even care about what the BBC spends ? You don't pay a licence fee. The BBC doesn't cost you a penny.

If you watch The BBC News Channel in The UK, you would be forgiven for thinking that this Channel is a BBC World Service Outlet, since we get very little in the way of any rolling UK Home grown News on this so-called BBC News Channel. I have been listening more to The Sky News Channel which is not Top-Heavy with Foreign News items as their main go-too. The ONLY things you will get shoved down your throat over on BBC News is UK Politics which at best is totally boring, and will over the next 6 weeks send us all off to sleep.
