It’s good to see Boris is in support of this too.....!
It’s crazy that it’s a criminal offence not to pay TV licence. Yet trespass, or similar such things are treated entirely differently.

The propaganda in the UK from media organisations including the BBC is now at epidemic levels. The BBC cannot be trusted at any level.
After all, George Orwell learned much about 'Newspeak' and 'Doublespeak' while working for the BBC Indian Department. Some suspect his Ministry of Truth in Nineteen Eighty-Four was modeled on the BBC building in Portland Place, London.
The World service was set up to broadcast propaganda why on earth do you think it exists? They have even admitted this at times
BBC - Radio 4 - Document
Latest programme of Document, A Very Britsih Coup about a Britain's role in a coup in Iran in 1953.
We could have a farmers wing with ad lib tff, emmerdale farm ( when it was a farm ) and Porridge,?

I can't imagine a crueler punishment than being locked up in a building full of farmers.

I don't watch TV and so don't have a licence. I get a fair torrent of letters from TV licencing but never reply because:
1) It costs money to send them. In my own small way when the BBC goes bankrupt I will have helped.
2) When I need light entertainment I open one of the letters. It's incredible how many ways they find to make "If you don't have a licence but don't watch TV there's nothing we can do" sound increasingly threatening.
I highly recommend stopping paying, it's a good laugh and very rewarding. I really feel like I'm doing my bit every time one of those stupid letters drops on the mat

Comedy gold. "It may be on 2nd January, or on another day." How's about not at all! The 20p to send this letter is coming out of your wages Roger Harrabin

What is the BBC’s motivation for bias against the farming industry?
what do they gain? What is the motive? Where is the benefit to the BBC?
I felt that during the recent election, Auntie Beeb favoured the Tory party. Many others feel they favoured Labour. Sooo, perhaps they did neither

Because telling their viewers "Don't worry about the environment, it's not your fault it's all the farmers and the corporations" will go down better than "You, yes YOU, the person reading this, are destroying the planet so it's bye bye foreign holidays and big cars"

Hmm. Good point that. Scary if you are right though. Isn’t part of their remit “to educate” the public?

Was that not the original idea of " The Archers" to educate farmers ?

He is real,’cos I see mother kissing Santa underneath the mistletoe last night!!!?I seen him early one Christmas morning when I was on my way to milk the cows , he looked as though he'd had a hard night
My daughter was once given reindeer dust to show Santa where to land , she was having none of it & chucked it out the back door . Should have seen the look on her face the next morning when she seen the skid marks on the drive and damaged hedge.
NEVER ruin the magic , you may of been making a valid sarcastic remark but please don't bring Santa into it as there are all ages viewing this site.
I don't think you should really be telling everyone on a internet forum what your mother got up to last night

Also, their agenda, like that of most media outlets, is governed by whatever gets them the most likes on social media.

Could not paying your tv license effect your credit rating? I suppose they’d have to prosecute you first.
