To stop paying the bbc my license fee.?

[bemorebernard]

I'm thinking of stopping paying the bbc
Anyone know the rules
?

I haven't paid the licence fee for many years.

An inspector called and agreed that we don't need one as we don't watch live TV. I told him that I was unhappy about the mass of threatening letters I receive on a regular basis. He said now the visit was conducted we won't receive them anymore.

He lied! We are still inundated with these letters. They go straight into the recycling bin unopened.

Everyone that I have ever met that has worked for the BBC have been very middle class and from the home countries.
I think that very few working class people ever get the chance to work for the BBC let alone become managers there.

You demonstrate no understanding of how the BBC is spread across the U.K., including a main site in Salford (Manchester to those who don’t know) and in lots of local areas for radio and regional news. I have-like yourself- met people that worked for the BBC, I even had a flatmate at one point who worked as a researcher, who most certainly wasn’t from the home ‘counties’ and was paid absolutely nothing in comparison to the on-screen stars.

I didn’t pay mine for a couple of years as we didn’t have live tv. You just go online and fill in a firm to say you don’t need one. I recently found my kids watching something on bbc Iplayer and it transpired they were watching this thing a lot and I hadn’t been aware so I ended up having to get a licence.. bbc Iplayer is the most expensive streaming service of the lot 🤦‍♀️

I've never had a licence and I watch TV and iPlayer etc.
I just fill in a form every couple of years saying I don't need one.
A bloke from capita tried calling at my property a while back regarding a TV licence, but he got stuck at the locked garden gate by my large barking dogs.
I just laughed and told him to fuck off, which he promptly did.

Well over 20000 people work for the BBC, Ive known 3 people who do/did and none were middle class from the home counties but clearly it would be rmeaningless of me to extrapolate that to all the rest of them

There will be a broad range of employees
