It wouldn't be so bad if the licence fee was only required to watch BBC content so then we would have the choice of not subscribing but by watching ITV, ch4-5, or Gold, Sky News etc we are then expected to pay into Linekers pension pot. This is ridiculous. Imagine subscribing to Netflix and AppleTV then saying 'You have to pay for us too'. No other country has such archaic rules and it's about time we didn't. What makes it worse is the never ending cycle of repeats that the licence fee payer has to put up with. Then there's the endless northern police dramas that they say are "gritty realism" but in reality they are just miserable dramas featuring miserable characters. Oh and don't forget that everything has to now feature an ugly man in a dress. Scrap the licence, let the BBC fight in the real world and watch it disappear up its own woke arsehole.

The obvious loophole in this digital age which could be argued is this.If a laptop or a tablet or a phone can pick up "live" broadcasts in theory anywhere outside of your address there is no way a liscence could ever be imposed because at that point such device literally has no fixed reception address.You could recieve I player in any wifi hotspot or via mobile data in a park or in a street.Alot of buses have free wifi and some towns have free cloud access like York etc.There is no way to liscence me watching Strickly come dancing on the number 51 bus from birmingham to walsall should I wish to do so.

The fraudulent debt situation is out of control in the UK and more and more non compliant and non regulated FCA companies are buying third party debt and some managing a back door CCJ action that is in fact illegal as only the original claimant can pursue this unless the Deed of Assignment is provided. Restons solicitors, Cabbot financial, Lowell etc are the most current especially when they state they are FCA regulated but the same company under a different name contacts you, Cabbot financial have 3 companies but only one is requested by the FCA and this particular one will not make contact with you so they use the non compliant Cabbot financial to threaten you. Reston solicitors are the same they have fraudulently obtained so many illegal CCJ on people. The bbc have been selling accounts in arears from fines fir years, bet you dont hear of it???

If you think they'll replace the Fee with a subscription, you're mad. The BBC as an institution has too many supporters, especially in places like the House of Lords. Worst case scenario is they'll put the Fee on your council tax, or Internet bill. They would do that, they're that vindictive. For now the Fee is the least worst option, for everyone.

I've not done it but what if you used a VPN to access a streaming service abroad which showed BBC programs either free with adverts or a cheaper subscription model. Is that technically illegal or just against the terms and conditions of that streaming service? People abroad probably access iplayer with a VPN for free can't we do the same for other streaming services abroad? I've accessed US streaming services with a VPN they were pretty awful with a much higher rate of adverts but as far as I know no crime has been committed. I personally resent the fact I cannot watch live TV from UK channels funded by advertising. I don't think the BBC should have the right to block that it is unfair to UK consumers and of course these commercial TV companies. Dailymotion has some illegal BBC content like Blakes 7 episodes. It's a streaming service which isn't iplayer. If I watch that what is the legal situation? Same with youtube there is a lot of illegal content on it and KZbin are slow to remove it. What is the legal situation if something from the BBC is on that and I watch it without a TV license? It was never licensed on those platforms anyway and if you don't have an adblocker KZbin and Dailymotion are profiteering from BBC content illegally. I guess my point is there is BBC content out there on streaming services that aren't iplayer.
