No. But I would have thought that Sky/VM subscribers without a licence was a better and legally more justifiable starting point for investigation than just everyone without a licence.

It also bothers me that individual citizens are being hassled by BBC/TVL whilst they let the big companies do what they like.

I think it's to do with the companies themselves. BT is a part of the "old boy" network with the BBC and have been for many years. Virgin and Sky and more independent and although they are like every other company seeking profit, they appear to value their customers data a lot more than do BT.

Hi all just to let you know I have not paid a TV licence fee for at least 5 years, when I moved they came and knocked on the door I told them I do not subscribe to companies who knowingly have kiddie fiddlers on their payroll and turn a blind eye to their activities often using the guise of the BBC to do their dirty deeds. If you want to pay your tv licence then do so, no problem. If you don't want to pay your licence fee for any reason then the letter templates are a good start.
If you want to know more then Google fmotl. this is freedom of the land website. I joined and have learned a lot. Don't get me wrong it takes guts to do this sort of thing and its not for the faint hearted even if you have to appear in court! Again fmotl can guide you through the process.

What is it we often say? If it sounds too good to be true, then it is.

Let's face it ... like it or not, the TV licence is just another form of Tax.

You might not like paying tax - none if us do - but as long as we have a (very expensive to run) NHS Service, Benefits system, wasteful and inefficient Central and Local Government and Public Servants on good wages with Final Salary Pensions etc etc, Tax is needed to pay for these - and lots of it.

So get over it and pay up like the rest of us, or GENUINELY don't watch Broadcast TV.

And if you REALLY don't like paying Tax in this country, then exercise your right to leave and go somewhere else. But good luck getting away with much less Tax anywhere else, especially if there is some form of Socialist / Left wing Government - they waste and tax the most !

Yes you should just do as you have been trained and pay your licence fee or tax as the last poster put it. If not then you should at least buy from amazon, starbucks or some other business that pays very little tax and funnels money to other Countries.

I called them withholding my number and told them that I was removing their implied rights of access (common law), I would not give my name as this is contractual (universal commercial code). They now will not visit or send letters for two years after which time they will incase the occupant has changed. I do not watch or record live tv as it is broadcast nor did my father however because he spoke with the tv licencing employees giving his name and generally being honest and pleasant with them he ended up being bullied with threats and lies of court summons and fines, so he bought a licence. He never watched or recorded tv as it was broadcast either.

their are so many do-gooders on this forum saying you have to pay it.... no thanks, its a tax for a corrupt corporation, who hides evidence of pedo's in their employment, anyone who agree's with paying the tv license may as well support jimmy saville, also when they do get warrants, the police can't help them as its a civil matter, just tell them through a window they won't be getting in. Its the bbc's fault for forcibly sending signals into your home, and anyone who says they make good tv, your full of it, just wait until its on iplayer then watch it for free instead, £145.50 a year is a lot of money for struggling parents, so instead of the pedo bbc getting it, spend it on yourself

I cancelled my tv license using the info on the main site and i've not had any issues. they sent someone round to ensure i was telling the truth that i wasn't watching 'live' tv and that was over a year ago. i was recording everything anyway and watching it later so i just use my ps3 and the catch up services like ITV player/bbc iplayer and 4od ect

Good one to bump a stupid thread!

Recording live TV means you need a TV licence - welcome to the world of law breakers!

Thinkforyourself

I find the comments of most of the replies funny because you have not taken the time to check any of what the poster stated

Firstly people refuse to pay the tv license because it is rubbish you don't get 30+ free view channels from it you get only the BBC channels !! the rest are independently funded by adverts and sponsors haha

So honestly how many of you would pay £12 per month for a few channels ? Well I guess all of you because you are , and the funny thing is you are all indoctrinated to think it is right

It is your god given right not to want to pay for the license if the BBC want to charge you then let them block their channels like sky do
Why should you pay for the channels which are free ! Infact if you only had sky which you pay for you still need to pay the license even though sky pay the BBC for the channels so you pay twice !!

In fact you probably dont even realise you dont need a tv license unless you watch live tv as it is shown if you watch re runs on + channels like BBC i player then you don't need the license however the man will appear see your tv and drag you to court but note you won't get into court they will get you before you enter and ask last chance do you want to pay which most will say yes i do saves the fine of £1k well infact if you said no i want to go into court you couldn't courts are hired and are not courts they are turned into unlawful offices of administration and the guy up top is not a judge hes an administrator paid and acting on behalf of the BBC a judge has to act within his oath of office making him treat you as the importance , you are a human the BBC is a fiction you are innocent until proven guilty , however in these proceedings you are guilty of the offence and have to prove your innocence !

See the difference here !



Do you think Spain pay to watch the BBC channels on their free view or france ?.. Of course they dont because they are not stupid enough to

Even the BBC have adverts now so not only are you funding it they are generating their own funds through sponsors and all to fund !!!!!philes !

Do us all a favour and wake up dont pay for things because someone forces you to even if you don't want it thats how we ended up with tax on hot food !! Food should be tax free 100% just like the air we breath only thing is the air isn't free you are paying for the airwaves to your tv

£140 x 60 years = £8400 thats £8400 I will be a lot better off than you guys all for saying NO

Oh and I can still watch the programmes you watch an hour later on BBC i player without fear of prosecution
