Cancelling tv licence: stop funding misogyny

Which will be great, because then there will be less misogyny and bias in our media
This is brilliant. Your attempting to be sarcastic, but are in actual fact 100% correct 😂

Funnily enough the amount of mners who ridiculed me and claimed the BBC was impartial and held to the highest standards

I think loads of people genuine believed this as well. This is just probably the first time many here have been on the wrong side of bbc’s ‘Right think’

I cancelled my tv licence 4 years ago after the Scottish independence referendum because I was sickened at the bias shown against it. Funnily enough the amount of mners who ridiculed me and claimed the BBC was impartial and held to the highest standards and I (and most of pro Indy voters) were just bitter and making it up 😂😂😂 this latest bit of BBC bias towards t ransgenders is just par for the course as far as BBC is concerned imo.

I have made 14, well thought out complaints to the BBC in 2 years. They haven’t responded with any level of seriousness to a single one.
I will no longer pay them a penny, nor use any of their services.

I take your point Peking but the BBC don't listen to complaints. I would use my boycott to teach them that they cannot be so arrogant, not to destroy them. If they cannot be less biased then they destroy themselves.

I'm not keen to prop up one source of misogyny just to possibly impinge another - Fox seems to be thriving even with the BBC.

Yep, I definitely think destroying the BBC is a much better idea than complaining to it.

Rupert Murdoch, owner of The Sun, News of the World as was, Fox News and Fox & Friends, has devoted much time and energy to this for years. For the obvious reason that his organisations will expand into the gap.

Which will be great, because then there will be less misogyny and bias in our media.

I'd cancel but also start a complaint, adding that I am also cancelling.

I'm still boycotting Ocado (and others) and will carry on. And actually v glad to be away from Ocado as I had also ignored the robot issue in favour of my convenience (we have to shop online) but its better to do without and have the feeling of standing up for women, little though it might be.

Who is with us?!!

It would have more impact if a group of us do it

Not sure how you would go about telling them why you're cancelling.

But to cancel just click the following link... www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/no-licence-needed/about.app

And follow the four simple steps laid out.

haha cross post userschmoozer!

We'd miss some live TV but it would be worth it. I do also think the licence fee needs to go now. They can;t be trusted to be impartial and there;s no redress so its not fit for purpose.

I did it today.

I am right on the edge of doing this, and DH is too. I used to be a big supporter but the misogyny and bias is appalling.

I think it would have more impact, or only have an impact if a large number of women/households do it at once, on International Women's Day for eg, followed by an email.

It need only be for a month or so. Just to make the point that women don't have to take this from them.

I plan to cancel mine on International Womens Day as a protest about them no platforming GC people at the request of trans activists.

I don't have a TV aerial or terrestrial TV. I won't use the BBC website.

Try reading out loud to yourself Justasking, that might help.

Again in simple English please.
