  1. Gotta find the funding to send me those bullshit red letters, even though I’ve told them multiple times I don’t need a licence.

    They’re saving up to pay Trump the $47b he’s suing them for over that video they aired that prevented him becoming President.

    Going to say rising costs will equal rising cancellations. The BBC seem to be stuck in quite the doom loop with this approach.

    Could of sworn only the other day I read sonething where the BBC were stating or being told that license fees were not to rise again.

  4. Cancelled my TV licence last month and told them I no longer needed one. So it will be interesting to see how long it takes to actually start receiving the threatening letters in the mail.

    Surprised how many don’t pay in here. I think it’s very good value compared to Netflix for example.

    Those that disagree – curious as to why?

  6. At this moment in time I’m paying more than a Netflix subscription for the occasional Cbeebies. Maybe it’s time to cancel!

  7. Will be cancelling mine this year, should have done it last year but it was on auto renewal.

    Do you need it for Youtube? I don’t watch BBC anymore

    The government sets the licence fee and rules, not the BBC.

    Seems like a lot of people don’t know this.

  9. Cancelled my quarterly payments the other week. I’m not using their services and they need to improve the editorial quality of their news output if they want me to continue funding it like a charity. I firmly disagree with all the political appointees at the top and they will have to win my trust back in the future

  10. And I still won’t pay for it. Blocked all BBC media services on my home network, uninstalled all the apps capable of streaming live TV, apart from YouTube. Fuck off sending me letters

    The letters they send me currently are so aggressive and threatening but no one even showed up on the day they said they were going to come and break my door down lmao

  12. Already planned to cancel. 99% of shows are complete shite and I’m not paying an extortionate annual license just to watch traitors.

  13. Licence fee is increased – Some people realise they arent getting value for money so they cancel it – Licence fee is increased to make up for people who left – Some more people realise they arent getting value for money so they cancel it

    Its a constant cycle until the inevitable end of the BBC licence fee.

  14. Cut it back to the bare minimum and allow advertising.
    Focus on news and documentaries only.
    The public doesn’t need publicly funded entertainment at all.

    Imagine if you didn’t have a Netflix account but Netflix bombarded you with threatening letters demanding that you prove you don’t have to pay them and sent people to your front door to try and access your property
