Some people don't see why they should pay up for something they don't want simply to avoid threats.
I don't mind the government threatening me with fines, prison and a criminal record for failing to pay for essentials like schools and hospitals, but government threats for declining to pay for Eastenders and The Voice are just immoral and ridiculous.

the bbc should be a subscription service and then they can run the business based on its customer revenues and not because they have forced a tax on everyone whether they want it or not
they might need to revist their pension scheme as well then of course.......

Warrants for BBC funded capita staff to enter your home are very rarely issued by magistrates.
Even if a warrant is issued, as long as all your TVs are switched off during the search you are OK.
I think you will find if it is not plugged into the socket is the case.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 26, 2014 11:58 pm --<br /><br />

I felt the same moving to the States...... at last..... no more TV licence fee...... I now pay about $100 a month for the privilege of watching 150 channels full of absolute shite.

I absolutely think this as well, they should scramble the BBC transmission so without paying the £11 a month you dont receive the BBC.
Should people that don't have kids or cars pay less taxes because the school system and upkeep of the roads doesn't affect them?urmston said:BoyBlue_1985 said:Dont really see the point of the hassle of people knocking on my door for the sake of £10 a month.

You are confusing the supply of junk TV with the supply of essential services like education and roads.
The state is rightly involved with the raising of revenue to pay for essential services but what on earth is it doing in the junk TV industry at all, never mind threatening those who don't wan to pay for it with fines and a criminal record?

The obvious and right suggestion.
But they just are not going to do it are they?

Ive always thought that, how can you 'force' someone to pay for an entertainment service they don't want ?
especially when they waste millions on mindless imbecilic junk like Eastenders
