Not really no, who would? Plus the fact that I'm still watching it and not payed for it for over a decade with no recourse kinda proves my point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or drink alcohol or eat anything more expensive than the cheaper option? I hope you don't pay for netflix, amazon etc. Your second point is the same one people who shoplift without getting caught use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if you get pension credits. But while Murdoch and Andrew Neil are starting up their Fox News imitation tv channels here and the Tory right are determined to abolish the licence fee, it leads me to think it might be a good thing to preserve. This government and their toady Director General won't last forever, if it's lost it will be pretty well impossible to have an alternative domestic broadcaster without a huge bias to right wing American ideology.

DA Baracus Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Stopped paying it years ago after I got sick of their propaganda and clear political agenda. I don't actually watch that much live TV. Mostly Sportscene, MOTD and AVFTT, with the occasional other BBC show thrown in. Every couple of years I just have to tick a box online to say I don't watch live TV. Never had as much as a letter from them 'threatening' a visit. They can't access your property should they visit, so don't let them. There is an exception to this, and that's if they have a warrant from the court to do so, but they should have tried the regular route first. Seemingly that's pretty rare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let them in so they could have a look at my empty living room and told them if I buy a TV I would buy a licence. Now because I have my stuff in there no one is getting in and still haven't seen any need to buy a TV, internet is just as good, even better getting out and doing something more interesting is more appealing. Haven't had another visit or any letters from them yet. Aye, but have you ever bought anything you dont need???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do and you don't pay for it then as I've said before and you didn't contest it's the same as nicking something else.

Keep your bunnet on grandad, pay something you dont need to to watch something that's free, if it helps you sleep at night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same as thinking I would just lift the car or the handbag if there wasn't security in the shop though. There's plenty of reasons to not pay the TV license, I didn't myself for most of the time I've lived away from home. But yours is just a little bit pathetic, although I understand if you can't spare £13 a month so fair play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I pay 13£ a month for something that's free? Why does it bother you so much? Would you feel happier If i upped my charitable donations to something I care about by 13£ a month? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fuckin scam for the older people and the Gammonati. They are fucking vile, brown, unmarked envelopes and red lettering and stamps. Sickening.

Explain the difference to me then. It's not free, by law you pay for it if you use it. In the same way you would for other services you use. It's really not difficult. As with all public services if enough people did what you do the BBC wouldn't exist and we would have to rely on the private sector which in media I don't think is a good idea. "I can get away with not paying for something which is supposed to benefit it us all while still using it" is a very Tory position tbh and if you were so comfortable with it you wouldn't be throwing your unconvincing arguments at every reply 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Match of the Day, Sportscene and A View From The Terrace are the only things I watch on the BBC. A Fiver a year maybe? That's why I don't pay it, it's over priced and they are biased on politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that will pay to watch Dundee FC shouldn’t be too critical of paying for anything else. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
