    just go online and declare your don’t need one… the letters will stop… they are assuming you are just refusing to pay (true or not) but you can just confirm you don’t watch/record live tv or use iPlayer…

    The fact the tv license is still a thing in this modern day shows how failed society really is. Quit with this Stone Age crap and move the * on.

    I saw today that a lot of people were saying the license is good value. Baffling how brain dead some of these people really are.

    BBC should really be a proscription channel now and give the public a choice if they want to watch it .
    Just because you buy a new television my details are given to the BBC to hound me to buy a license.

    Who knows with the way government is going in the U.K.. but the current turned were squaring up to cut the BBC loose and do away with the tv tax …. Hopefully won’t get abandoned.

    If people really want to watch bbc output then they should be happy to pay more for it… after all they pay £13 a month at present presumably… But they shouldn’t be subsidised by those who have to pay for it when they don’t even watch it.

    Not paid it for years. Keep getting letters through which go through a cycle of repeating themselves regarding an investigation blah blah blah…. Originally had my name on them but now is just the householder. Every letter gets binned. Never had anyone come to the house regarding it, well not when I’ve been in anyway. If they do come calling someday the best thing to do is not say a word to them and shut the door on them, they don’t know who you are so nothing they can do. Here is a good forum if you’re looking to stop paying or advice in general about it :

    It's how most countries do publicly funded tv/radio, just take it straight from tax revenue, we're actually one of the rare ones in having the choice to opt out.

    What does Linakar do on the BBC apart from match of the day? I can't think I've seen him do much else.
    Ridiculous amount of money they're getting paid.

    Haven't paid mine for a while now.

    That’s a weird way of looking at it. By opt out you mean get big threatening red letters and scum doorstopping you and wanting to invade your privacy?

    Fine for us young(ish) yin’s who can look after ourselves. What about shy folk, older folk etc who are being bullied to pay it? Doesn’t seem like much of a choice to me. Where is the letter that says if you don’t want this sign here?

    Opt out my *.

    Also for folk with nothing but free view. How do they opt out of that? Can they turn the BBC off?

    This, and the link to the group at the bottom. Good people that are on our side, and were happy to answer my questions on fàcebook.
    TV license cant do anything until they know your name, hence all the "To The Legal Occupier"!!
    Just make sure to keep forwarding them threatening letters to the Israeli Embassies!! The Occupiers
