BBC licence fee could be means tested everyone pays regardless of whether or not they own a telev

In before "I'm a man on the land and do not have to pay as the TV license is the BBC as a corporation and I am not operating under maritime law but in fact common law and I'm not driving this vehicle but in fact travelling and therefore cannot be arrested by a corporate government official"

Did I get them all?

How come people are being prosecuted then?

I think the whole licensing thing will get scrapped pretty soon and if it survives it will become like any other commercial channel.
 
i'm a free-man, am i free to go or am i being detained, awww i love those vids :) especially the ozzys that are saying that while police were smashing their way into the vehicle lol

back to the topic, ummm either have it free with adverts, or scrap it, or ppv it with adverts too. it's an un-democratic channel, kinda like a mafia channel?
 
bbc can pee off as far as I'm concerned.

don't own a TV
don't have a TV package only phone and internet.
No longer have flash installed so even if I wanted to watch iplayer which I don't then I couldn't because it relies on flash to work

Modern world not everyone gives a crap about english rubbish television....
ridiculous that they expect everyone to fund it like some communist country.

I saw some article the other day claiming 97% of the population uses BBC services.

somehow I doubt it but it seemed to be an actual bbc study

BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead (pictured) said yesterday as the BBC Annual Report and Accounts for 2014/15 were published.

The report shows that in 2014/15 the BBC continued to reach almost every household around the UK, reaching 97 per cent of adults with highlights including Wolf Hall on BBC Two, Poldark on BBC One, Happy Valley, The Fall, and award-winning BBC Three drama Murdered By My Boyfriend.

This year’s Annual Report shows that in 2014/15:
-97 per cent of UK adults used BBC services on TV, radio or online each week, up from 96 per cent the previous year.

Oh I can feel a Freedom of Information request to get the BBC to disclose how it arrives at seemingly high and implausible figure of 97% of UK adults using BBC services.
 
I don't know all the ins and out's of the licence fee but what's wrong with introducing a pay wall to view the BBC content ? Give the people who don't use their services a choice without being forced to pay ?

That's not what it says though. It says the BBC can "reach" 97% of adults.

Basically if the BBC started using carrier pigeons to spread propaganda to all the people who cant go to bbc.co.uk, don't have a satellite, etc., the figure would jump to 100%.

Hopefully today is the beginning of the end of the overgrown public sector evil empire. Get rid of the huge newsrooms, the monstrous website sites, the crappy channels, stop trying to be top of the ratings, privatise production of programscrash, crash the gravy train and just leave us with two decent channels to watch. Oh and find a better way to pay for what is left.

Now to see if today's green paper agrees with me.
