The BBC World Service is an instrument of foreign policy and should be government-funded. Its cost is trivial.

Licence payers shouldn't foot the bill.

How many households have cancelled the BBC TV licence fee since 2020? – Full Fact Claims that 2.4 million households have cancelled the licence fee since 2020 are circulating online. But we’ve found no evidence to support this figure, which the BBC says it doesn’t recognise.

The govt needs to back the BBC and enforce the law. There is no way that those 1.5m homes are not watching any live TV from the BBC/ITV/C4/C5 .

They are scumbags who are cheating the system.

Democratise the BBC. If the BBC is truly the public service broadcaster and every household has to pay a poll tax to the BBC, let the public elect members of the BBC Board.

The $5 BILLION lawsuit. Should we be worried about the future of the BBC? I'm debating why, despite its flaws, losing our public service broadcaster would be a tragic shame.

Its analysis of BBC accounts found that the licence fee evasion rate is now at
12.5%, costing it up to £550m. The number of households to state they have
no need for a licence, because they do not consume BBC content, has risen
from 2.4m in 2021 to 3.6m this year. That equates to a loss of up to £617m
from potential fees.

Despite making nearly 2m visits to unlicensed homes last year, prosecutions
fell by 17% in 2024.

The Licence Fee is a Poll Tax.
There are other ways to fund it without compromising on it's (lol) 'independence'

DAMN LIES
Even Stalin didn't think of this one

In the UK we're forced to pay hundreds of pounds to fund the BBC or face prison. Even North Korea doesn't force you to pay to the liar who is lying to you

No second series for Steven Knight's West Midlands BBC drama, This Town The Steven Knight series for the BBC delved into the ska and two tone music scene in the 1980s.

The BBC Charter includes values of diversity and representation yet they cancel this working-class mixed-race telling of a unique British sub-culture that won awards. They really are pandering to Reform #LicenceFee www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

TLDR (2/5):

As part of broader operational savings amid a 30% real-terms decline in funding over the past decade, the BBC opted to reduce in-person coverage to provide better value for licence fee payers.

The BBC Is Losing Britain: Out of Touch and Out of Time 300,000 stop paying the TV licence fee. Why? The BBC no longer reflects real Britain. Out of touch, elitist, skewed? Here’s what’s wrong.

The BBC was meant to represent all of us. But these days? It silences truth, glorifies the elite, and sells nostalgia. No wonder 300,000 said no.

Just home? The BBC's middle-class bubble has burst. 300,000 licence fee payers have walked away — and it’s not just about streaming. It’s about trust, representation, and reality.

The BBC is a pay for view and streaming service. (£174.50 a year.) The difference between it and other channels is that you have a choice about whether to pay for them and if you don't you're not automatically prevented from watching everyone else's live and streamed content.

So here’s what pisses me off most about the #BBC and the licence fee. They get unprecedented access to Glastonbury but don’t make everything they broadcast available on #iPlayer. We can’t watch it all live and we’ve paid for it so make it all available!

Why is the reception so awful for Eastbourne now, when earlier - for Dan Evans' excellent win in really windy conditions - it was fine; it's so fuzzy you can't even read the score!
The Wimbledon qualifying match coverage is clear as a bell!

Original post on mastodon.social

The Licence Fee is a joke now, and as it's already a Government mouthpiece the argument that the BBC should get it's revenue from the Fee to 'maintain integrity' is moot. Blame Tim Davie.....ask your smart speaker about him /s […]
