Let me give you some quick pro bono. Harrassment is a criminal offence under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. A call to the police will do. No need for expensive legal fees. Go knock yourself out. Do keep us posted how you get on. Edited June 14, 2019 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're to believe your "working class" rhetoric regarding Brexit... then they clearly benefitted more than most! Given your solution for those poor old pensioners on this thread would mean that ultimately, they will end up paying more... for less.... doesn't do much for your socialist creds....

The BBC TV licence fee is nothing to do with Brexit at all. It is everything to do with Tory austerity and a greedy out of touch BBC. It was the BBC Director General, the well lunched Tony Hall (Lord Hall of Birkenhead) who in clandestine talks that lasted less than a week agreed with the Tories back in 2015 that the BBC would receive a funding boost in return for taking the responsibility for providing free services to the over-75s. Lord Hall went further and wanted the BBC to have the responsibility for deciding whether the benefit should exist at all (surprise surprise this very wealthy man doesn't want it to exist at all). The Tories 2015 manifesto pledge to keep the BBC TV licence fee free for over-75s was copied word for word into the party’s 2017 general election manifesto. Never trust a Tory OR a rich BBC Lord, they are both the ruling class and have nothing but hatred for the workers and the poor.

What about those poorer ones on pension credit that will still get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do you! You spend most of your time telling us how crap the BBC is, if it's really that crap then no-one needs the benefits at all! It'd simply be a waste of money. The reality... you would prefer they pay more for a lesser service... to different metropolitan, out of touch elites... that live in the USA!

Rather than undermining my argument, I have demonstrated that the reason vulnerable and disabled over 75s will be forced to pay the BBC TV tax next year is because a rich BBC Lord (Tony Hall) did a back room deal with 'austerity for the poor only' obsessed rich Tories a few years back. The BBC and the Tories working together to hurt the poor. The ruling class collaborating against the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Brexit in a nutshell... you've been pretty quiet on that NHS dividend, side of the bus guff potentially funding a tax cut for the rich.. can't think why! Welcome to Brexit Britain!

Car Boot Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Mass protests against the BBC will be held up and down the country outside BBC buildings and offices. The first of these protests will be held on Friday 21 June. The hated and feared BBC TV tax must fall! SUPPORT THE PENSIONERS! STOP THE GREEDY BBC VULTURES!

Lockdoctor Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It's time to scrap the TV licence for everyone. The TV licence was introduced before the days of hundreds of different channels and broadband. Most households pay for a broadband subscription and broadband is the new way which many people have started to watch television through so called smart televisions. The TV licence should be replaced by something like a broadband tax built into broadband subscriptions which should go to fund the BBC. Also the BBC should start taking revenue from advertising during peak viewing hours. The BBC also need to cut costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, so now you're supporting the same course of action that remainers have been advocating for the last 3 years with regard to Brexit! Yay! I always find it amusing how the values you expouse in this thread are the polar opposite to those in the Brexit thread. You love those metropolitan capitalist elites just fine here, you spend the majority of your time advertising for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
