Community Note FC 8,831 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 From a club spokesperson (copied from Rhecord article): “Rangers have a massive support base, all of whom will be paying their TV licence to the BBC. Many of them will be unhappy.“All we are asking for is the right to have our business reported in a fair and balanced manner.”I am withholding my licence fee and have cancelled my DD. Is anyone else taking this action? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfYeCannae 48 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't understand why people pay it anyway, it is not a law, it's an act, they have no legal rights to make you pay, IF they come to your door with the police, the police are there to make sure no breach of the peace occurs as it's a civil matter.

fuckthespl 2,546 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't pay the fee. Any bears that still pay it should follow the advice of the active resistance against tv license Facebook page and stop paying the license fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfYeCannae 48 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 An Act is a law. Saying it's not is bullshit.No it's not, an act HAS TO BE AGREED to by the individual, i.e. contract terms..The licence fee is a contract between you, the individual and the BBC.

Although you cannot be sent to prison for it you can for not paying the fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 They go on the assumption that you have a tv and watch live broadcasts, but they can only prove it if they come into your house, the only way they can enter your house is with a warrant and the only way to get a warrant is with evidence that they can only get by coming into your house. If they come to your house film them and tell them to leave and that your revoking implied right off access to your property. The only reason they have these licenses is cause folk are daft enough to pay them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell then to leave and film them and that should be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurdyBurdy 4 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 the difference being the BBC no longer have to take a Civil action out to get someone to pay,they just report them and the courts now do it for them,cnts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
