Nobody said anything about the license fee being commercially based or reasonable. It's an out of date concept that was valid 40 years ago but not in today's television programming world. It's a tax used to fund the BBC. It's not longer anything to do with whether or not you consume the programming output of the BBC. I don't see any point in complaining about it. You have to pay it. You can complain to your MP but that doesn't have any effect: it's a government level decision. And the government has decided they are not yet going to remove this tax. And there is nothing we can do about it. So stop moaning and comply. Why? Because if you don't comply then you get in to trouble.

You're objecting to paying the license fee, and the end result is you end up paying more. How does that make sense? How does that make sense to you? Please explain the rationale behind your thinking? Surely if you are in a difficult financial position, the worst outcome for you is to pay more than you need. So if you are in this position, then the logical and reasonable behaviour is to take action to prevent yourself being fined. Being fined is a choice, it is a choice you make.

The police will support the BBC's threat letters and so will your chief constable for your area. The police are terrified of the BBC, for some reason.

I open them just to get a chuckle, got multiple of these, even bright red one's. I'm still waiting on Gordon from the Kilmarnock enforcement division to send his goons out.

There is a return address on the letter. Simply return it. Cross out your details, put RTS, post it. This adds to their costs. Lol.

I'd also like to complain because I haven't needed a licence for more than ten years, I've received hundreds of letters and they haven't had the common decency to come to my house and give me the opportunity to close the door in their face and waste their precious commission earning time and petrol. I'm feeling somewhat neglected.

I found one of they goons rolling around, hold his groin, on my front lawn. No idea when he got up and left as my wife was taking me to A&E with a suspected broken toe on my right foot.😇

I only cancelled my licence at the end of October 2022 and I have already had a letter advising me that 1 in 8 people declare no licence needed incorrectly. I have no intention of watching live or recorded TV for the forseeable future and have removed BBC iPlayer from my smart TV, so, have correctly advised them I do not need a licence.
