if you pay for a tv license in the uk here's your reminder to cancel it right now and let the bbc know you're doing it because they hate lgbt people

As long as you don't let them into your house to check if you have a tv they can't do shit and their threats are empty bc it is probably never going to be worth their while taking people to court for £100.

Thank you for reblogging this, I forgot to add a warning for anyone who doesn't know: cancelling your TV licence will cause them to harrass and threaten you for the rest of your life and they will follow wherever you go. Their letters are very intimidating and made to sound like you are breaking the law and they know it so let me clear things up:

I have never had a TV licence and you are not obligated to have a TV licence even if you have a TV. You only need a TV licence to be allowed to watch BBC programmes (broadcast or on demand). Nobody can tell if you are watching BBC programmes without you allowing them into your house or admitting to it. You do not have to allow anybody in your house no matter what they threaten. No, TV licensing are not driving around in little sci-fi vans scanning for what programmes you have on. TV licensing have no legal power over you and they cannot do anything to you.

Also take note that the letters you receive have no information on who you are or who your local authorities are. Do not communicate with them and do not give them any info, if that's not obvious. If anyone comes to your door asking weird questions about whether or not you have a TV and what you watch, tell them you'll call the police if you see them in the area again.

Enjoy a low effort meme

Anyway I've never paid for my TV license and I would encourage everyone else to do the same 🥰
