Why does this feel like such a threat lol

  1. The BBC charter states that all news is impartial, and the fact it isn’t and that they do their own thing makes the tv license fee illegal since they are breaking their own ruling.

  2. It IS a threat. They literally threaten people who don’t pay for TV licenses with letters threatening legal proceedings and bailiffs. They also have officers sent to people’s address.

  3. It is a threat and, for some, an inaccurate one. I don’t have a TV licence as none of my viewing habits meet the requirements for one.

  4. Last guy told me that they have the technology that can tell if we have a tv in the house

    I asked him why he needs to come in and check then, he wasn’t happy

  5. It’s clearly The Last of Us inspired but you don’t need a TV licence to watch Now TV

  6. OOOIII YOU NEED A LOISENCE FOR THAT TV MATE (pirate)

  7. I don’t need shit!

  8. You don’t have to, you can opt out on the BBC website every couple years if don’t use the services in comments or reason I also add because of Jimmy Saville 👍

  9. Yeah I don’t actually want one. I just apparently need one!

  10. Needs to go to subscription model.
    I don’t have a TV license & never watch out of principle but I would maybe subscribe for a month or 2 if I wanted to watch a series when aired.
    At least they would get some money instead of nothing from me.

  11. Probably because it is a threat, taxes are like gang protection fees.

    Pay us or bad shit happens. The only difference between gangs and the cops and government is the government and cops have the guns, cash and manpower. That’s why they’re in charge, the only reason. Whoever is willing to batter, oppress and kill the most with the capacity to do so rules.

    Now pay your taxes, or HMRC and Co will cripple you in court, empty your accounts and your home of possessions and rescind your liberty to a 6ft by 6ft cage.

  12. Followed up by …” We Know Where You Live!”. 😄😁

  13. You don’t if you’re watching TV in prison whilst serving a sentence for not paying for a TV license.

  14. It’s wee guy syndrome lol. Their ‘enforcement officers’ are utterly impotent.

    ‘MAY I COME INSIDE TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE A TELEVISION SET!?’

    ‘Nut.’

    ‘…. Please? Goanny, mon dae us a turn?’

  15. They’ve had two decades to adapt to the changes in media consumption.

    Yet they still resort to the same antiquated business model backed with scaremongering empty threats.

    It’s 2025, and they’re still offering a black and white TV licence ffs.

    I don’t think their website has been updated for 15+ years.

    They are the problem and the world has left them behind.

  16. That’s exactly what they play off. Fear of being caught. Don’t even entertain them at the door. Ignore, close door and move on
