    As evidence you adduce a report in that well-known and authoritative organ of record The Sun

    Are you claiming the SUN has lied about the contents of the BBC's FOI response?
    and some stupid thread on an internet forum!

    That thread concerns an actual court case.

    I'd say our roads, health, education etc is vital myself unless you'd rather have all those things made redundant for just one broadcaster....................yep I think YOU would ;)

    MP's expenses?
    You are telling me a lot about yourself by your postings.

    And your fevered imagination is filling in much, much more.
    Why do you wish to get so personal and how many forum rules do you wish to abuse?

    Because accusing someone of being a Nazi is not personal abuse is it?
    I have no issues with this subject matter

    ROTFLMAO!
    Oh you've suddenly delt with them in the past now, oh and I believe you mean Capita Salesman and not "TV licensing officials"

    I couldn't care less what you call them, you know fine well who I mean.
    LOL but why if the BBC is so great and it is great because you wouldn't be doing this now if it wasn't

    Oh really? And you know this how?
    No I can asure you I do not ask them to come to my door or send me the threatograms, comrade.

    Did anyone ever suggest you did?
    OMG you don't even know the history or what it stands for do you, hardly a shock to ignore the truth though

    Oh yeah, right, the SS were a pretty nasty bunch. And why exactly did you drag that into it? You have heard of Godwin's Law, right?

    Would you care to answer it again with a simple Yes or No?

    Well If I was breaking the law the BBC would know because of their detector equipment wouldn't they ;)

    I reluctantly buy a TV licence and I never watch the BBC, but choose to cover myself in case I do. The BBC licence may well be scrapped eventually and I pray for the day it does, even if this means enduring commercials on the BBC.

    I believe its time to make it a voluntary subscription. After all if the BBC is so great as many would have us believe it would thrive and those who don't want it would finally have a real choice.

    Nobody on here wants to pay for a TV licence, but in accordance with the option of BBC, we pay it.

    There are clearly people here who want anything negative about the BBC taken down which should tell you the type of people who favour the BBC.

    As has been mentioned above, we have constant repeats and cheap and tacky programmes on the BBC, many of us gripe over it but still pay for the licence anyway, giving us a reason to justify complaining about it.

    That is the right I'm taking :)

    Just because members disagree with you over it, does not make them BBC staff members or Trolls.

    No but the abuse and off-topic ones are clearly trolling. As for being connected with the BBC, well do you think its normal to jump on a thread you claim not to be interested in and then attack people because that's happening as we can see.

    Sounds familiar? ;)
    No, I'm not trying to get threads taken down and I respect the rules

    You can ask, but you have no right to demand an answer.

    When did I demand an answer :huh:

    Comrade, the source is the FOI so your friends at the BBC must be lying then?

    Well if you can't tell the difference between reality and an internet forum then there really is little hope for you.
    Well I get 12 or more a year myself and there are around 7 million without a BBC TV Licence so you do the math, comrade

    Well since you clearly can't read:

    THE BBC was blasted last night for spending £13.5MILLION on chasing unpaid licence fees over the past four years.

    It has sent out a staggering 85million warning letters...

    To be fair, that is neither a YES or a NO.

    Is it really so difficult to answer the question with one or the other?

    Do you or have you watched live TV on the BBC, YES or NO ?

    I personally think our MPs should be reduced from 650 to 250 while their giving all the power to Europe. Anyway what do you wish to chat about next, fishing?

    So your postings are our imagination now, wow I'm getting the Twilight Zone theme tune going through my head

    Oh that's a belter, in actual fact I've not accused of anyone of that which is why you haven't quoted it.

    I do, you are playing the revere psychology card and I have pointed out how absurd that is considering your passion for anything BBC.

    Once again your postings answer the question

    Think about that then because they aren't invited!

    Yes I have, the BBC mention it everytime someone compares them to the Nazis. They choose to ignore that both carry/carried out threats, intimidation and harrasment

    To be fair we both know what your game is and that you are going to keep repeating this. I have answered it but you choose not to accept it (Not seen that before :) )

    Remember what it says about getting personal in the rules?

    Well in all reality, NO YOU HAVEN'T - (Have seen that before :))

    But I can assume from your reluctance or fear of answering such a simple question, what the answer really is. Rendering you and your posts, somewhat hypocritical.
