why do we pay nearly 4 times as much for a colour licence as opposed to a black and white. I thought the tv set determined whether you viewed in colour which we have already paid for that privilege when buying the set, perhaps someone should think of taking them to court as I cannot see why they are charging so much to view in colour when it is nothing to do with them only the tv set we use.

bbc is a joke, it's not even a good service, im poor as f*ck, still need to pay full fee to watch anything at all on tv? we should all be given an option to tune our tvs without the bbc channels , ta

It is a joke, why should we pay for a license for the crap they put on anyway...

Disgusting tbh, just got a £97 virgin bill to pay and tv license on top of that. Not happy!

An absolute rip off and needs to be stopped now. How long before they try liscencing our computers & mobile phones now they can view video too?

why should we have to pay for a little privledge and relaxation time??

I refuse to pay for something that I did not ask for, need or cannot opt out of.

After many many years of paying this 'licence' which in my opinion is not a licence at all. It is a form of instruction that thou shall pay if thou possess a TV. This in itself is strickly untrue. However without going into details, I have finnally come to my senses that the BBC is no longer an impartial organisation (which is against it's Royal Charter)and hasn't been for a while. David Dimbleton's question time is just one example of many biased programmes it airs! We are also in an age of multi channel technology. Also the BBC is in breach of the funding provisions made by the Royal Charter in receiving millions from the EU. A Treasonous act! I could go on but I think I've said enough. Therefore as from this moment I will be witholding my payment. And to hell with all those pigs with their noses in the troughs!!

I dont watch the bbc channels so dont see why i should pay for something i dont use

I have been threatened with legal action, I have far to many worries on my hands without having to deal with these blackmailing extortionists. I believe that the "licence FEE" is infact a legally enforced racket to blackmail the public out of billions of pounds a year. Its in the somplest terms discusting, why the British Government allows these sneaky bastards to do this is quite frankly beyond me! One this year is paid, they can sod off, because I will not pay them a single penny more based on my refusal to respond to blackmail. With any luck, they wont pursue me and back the hell off!
