I don't mind paying the TV licence, as I don't watch TV, but what I do mind is the goons they send out to knock at your door and claim they have a "legal right" to enter your property and check your equipment. They're bullies tbh.

One knocked at my door abt 6 months ago and when I refused to let him in, stating that I didn't need a licence, he argued that he NEEDED to check and tried to put his foot in the door so I couldn't close it. He was about 60 ffs. I'm not a violent person, ever, but I honestly came very close to punching him repeatedly in the face.

They have no legal right to enter your property. None whatsoever. They use bully tactics and words like "law" to scare people into letting them in.

I wonder how many single mums and old grannies they trick with that "legal right to enter" bullshit.

As soon as they identify themselves don't say a word, just shut the door, you are not obliged to speak to them...

The guy was a little bald bloke in his 50/60's. It totally caught me offguard tbh.

I'm usually a very polite person so I simply opened the door, said "thanks I don't need one, mate", explained to him that I knew the rules etc, and went to say goodbye. The next thing I knew his foot was in the door and he was telling me about "Laws" that say he HAS to come in and check my telly. It's the law. :lol: He was so sure of himself, the arrogant little fanny. I think that's what pissed me off the most. It's as if he'd been so successful at worming his way into houses proir to mine that my refusal to let him enter had literally annoyed him.

Well I flipped, the red mist descended, I shouted at him for a bit, told him to fuck off, then followed him down the street for a few yards calling him a c*nt as he made his escape. IIrc I was still calling him a smelly c*nt as he crossed the road and turned the corner. He came very close to getting slapped like, and that's a lot coming from me because I'm a massive fanny.

Horrible little greasy bastard. Proper weazel.
 
Waste of money imo. Probably watch less than 2 hrs of bbc a week and their radio is shite. I do have their weather app on my phone though but thats always f***ing wrong.

Just put some adverts on and give me my 14 quid a month (or whatever it is) back. Everyone just skips adverts nowadays anyway so it hardly matters

I bet the car he was using wasn't registered for business use either, most of these goons are driving illegally..
 
Plenty of ferckers are though. I'm tempted to cancel mine for the fun I could have with them :)

It's not worth the hassle mate. And I'm not on about the threatening letters or visits either. I'm on about the missus chewing your ear off. If I was living on me Todd. Nee way I'd be funding them paedophile lovers

The funding issue, as with the debate about what content they produce and who it's for, is a product of too much meddling and outright attacks on it by people and groups with an agenda. If the need for a state broadcaster was accepted, and it was protected from attacks by groups who do not have the best interests of the country at heart, all the problems people might have with its output and arrangements could be solved.

By all intents and purposes it is a state sponsored broadcaster

They'll catch ya

That should tell everyone what they need to know about this sham tax they are imposing on us. Lying kernts

It's not forced - don't own a TV. The legislation is clear - it's not new.

If you never watch the BBC then you could make a genuine case but I would say in the overwhelming case people do and are just dishonest.

The TV licence has bot all do with owning a telly. Get your facts right.

Im not being dishonest by saying I don't watch any BBC shite. Actually I lie. I like sherlock and blue planet. But I've bought them on DVD

So two of the vocal opponents of the TV licence have said that "I only watch music documentaries" and "They have stuck the sign language broadcasts on at a stupid hour".

That is the argument FOR the BBC. It provides for EVERYONE, for every Mrs Browns Boys there is a Infinite Monkey Cage, for every Homes under the Hammer there is a Jools Holland. It's a service that on a Saturday at 7pm I you can choose between Strictly, Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show or a informed Football phone in.

Subscriptions focus on the biggest revenue earners, so in the future we can all sit round watching endless copies of GOT's for our £15 a month...

Sky provides something for EVERYONE.

Should we MAKE you pay FOR it every month?
 

I have mate. No where on there does it stipulate that you need a licence cos you have a telly. Just because you have the ability to watch stuff does not mean you need a license. I can watch dvds on my telly without a licence. What you linked says you can't watch or download stuff via your dvd.


Stop it with your inaccurate fear propaganda please.
 
Doesn't like.

Without any doubt there is something on sky for everyone. Absolutely certain.

It's less than 3 pound a week!

That's less than one pint!

Last year The night manager and line of duty were worth the fee alone!

:lol:

Amazon prime
Netflix
ITV no adverts addon
Now tv cinema
Now tv entertainment
Now tv kids

All less than £3 a week so I assume you won’t mind paying for them as well?
