Major BBC licence fee update as ‘radical’ alternatives considered to £169.50 fee

1. Don’t pay it. Its not the 1950s anymore, where the propaganda ads about being licenceless is a warcrime

2. You can have a licence fee or you can pay out general taxation. Can say all you want about “radical ideas” and subscription service etc… but that’s only two models that will work without drastic cuts.

3. I’ve got my own radical alternative and it costs £0

4. I feel that if we are to pay then we should have a say in the hiring and firing of the chief editors. For too long there has been too much bias.

5. Switch it all to iPlayer and make it monthly subscription based. Radio is free.

6. We have been been hearing about these ‘radical’ ideas for the last 20 years, especially when they increase the fees and then it all goes quiet.

7. I stopped paying years ago. It’s all rubbish anyways.

8. Unless you have your TV facing your window with the curtains open that can be seen from the street – or a silly moral code about not paying money to the BBC – I don’t really get the point in paying it.

   They can’t do anything to you without proof you’re using their services which is very very hard to do, and they are very short on people going around on foot anymore.

   There’s not some special vans driving around, just don’t pay it. Never have, never will.

   If you do you’re quite frankly daft.
