Stop being so naïve like the others. Its been proven time and time again it doesn't always work like that and we are not spiting our selves. Contacting them is a gamble that isn't automatically going make them stop and can make them worse.

Guess I started this all off lol.
We did fill in the online form but like others have stated it seems to trigger a visit.
Just got another letter threating prosecution. Addressed to the Current Occupier.
I just checked the back of the letter. They give a 50% concession if there's a blind person in the house......
Scum complete scumbags.

My experience.
Letters galore so told them I didn't need a licence. Six months after that no letters then we're back to letters every month. Two calling cards saying that someone called out to house.
As far as I'm concerned I've done what is required so they can get stuffed.
Used to annoy me with all the threats etc. Now letters just go straight into bin.

This is why the BBC is not worthy of a licence fee. There whole agenda pushing bs needs to stop.

I just ignore them, they have said many a time we will pay you visit on such and such a date. I just blank them.
If I opened the door the would be 2 outcomes, one would be ******* or a broken jaw. Sick to death of being targeted and being threatened by the BBC.
I really don't watch TV, I have one but don't watch it at all so screw them.

Don't have any issue with them at home (don't watch TV and dont get any letters) but we started getting letters randomly at work asking me to tell them we don't need a TV license 
Bizarre way to waste paper.
Bizarre way to waste paper.I'm gonna gender stereotype my kids twice as hard now. If my daughter even looks at an action figure...
Aye, I mean how dare they suggest you don't try to force your kids into certain roles but offer them a choice of what they want to play with rather than assuming a girl will like a doll and the colour pink, whilst a boy will prefer blue and a car.
The fact that a lot of the gender stereotypes are relatively new/changable is something that seems to fly over some people's heads
Pink used to be a boy's colour, women were amongst the first computer techs and engineers and arguably individually flew in more aircraft than male pilots*. as just a trio of examples
From a purely personal perspective I find it very amusing that my sister plies my niece with a steady stream of "princes" and "girly" toys and activities, but she actually loves a lot of the "boyish" toys and activities just as much (and her much older brothers love encouraging that, she's as likely to watch a comic book film that is age appropriate as some disney princess one).
*IIRC During WW2 the Women's auxiliary pilots who delivered aircraft had to be familiar with/able to fly more types of aircraft than many of the fighting pilots who tended to fly one aircraft type at a time.
You will be amazed how many people pay it because they think it's good value.New house, new letter..same bin!
Completely see how weak minded people buckle though. I wonder how many pay out of fear
Or pay it for no other reason than "because the government says so".
I just can't get my head around the fact that they're allowed to behave the way they do. Their threats are nothing short of what you'd expect from gangsters, "will you be home on x date" and all that rubbish. Granted we know they have no teeth but what about people who don't? Do they just cave in to this intimidating behaviour?
I just laugh at them and tell them in no uncertain terms to **** off. Grow a moral compass and get a proper job.

I don't think gender is a social construct or that you can treat your kids like bits of play dough you can mould into any shape you want without doing them harm. Gender roles are important and have existed in every culture throughout history. Of course that's not to say girls should be disallowed from any profession. I just don't appreciate my taxes being spent on loony left pet causes.
Nothing handy about it, you just targeting yourself for the BBC licence to come for you.
If the petition goes through then the BBC will have access to everyone who signed up if it went through parliament or the courts. Its dodgy as dish water sorry to say.
Target me for signing a petition! I've paid for my licence since moving into my home in 1975. I signed it because I feel it's unfair for all

Nothing came of it the last time, expect it to be the same again. Its a tax which the older generation pay because they don't know any better. Why would the scrap it when its easy money for them.

This will come to pass, there are an increasing number of selfish scrotes who dodge paying the TV Licence Fee and the Government will use that as an excuse to fund the once independent BBC from general taxation and make it into a Government Organ

Taking it all to account over the last page or so, I'd rather we had adverts and the BBC died due to the poor quality programming it outputs instead.
I'm a license payer and so far this year the only thing I've watched on the BBC is Eurovision. Works out at about £40 per hour of viewing.
