Brilliant from @CatharineHoey in the Lords earlier - the licence fee “represents a bygone age” and “should be abolished” #DefundTheBBC

If only I'd known there would be no Lurpak, i would've voted to remain shackled to the supranational government of parasitic middlemen masquerading as a trading bloc

I don’t remember receiving my ballot paper to vote for the president of the EU.

'Count the vote' protests held across U.S.

Demonstrators gathered across the U.S. in cities from Philadelphia to Portland, Oregon, to call for every vote in the 2020 election to be counted.

Good from @BorisJohnson and he should go further & say talks over, we are full on No deal. EU have negotiated in bad faith. Close file, move on with confidence. No deal is always better than bad deal.

Sick of the BBC’s threats and harassment. You’re not alone. But if you switch to watching on demand on any platform (excluding BBC iPlayer) or device you do not need a licence. Visit defundbbc.uk/defund-the-bbc-… to find out more. #DefundTheBBC

Petition: Privatise the BBC and make them self-funding

The BBC is no longer justified to be funded by the use of a compulsory Licence. They are no longer a state broadcaster, and should be sold to the highest bidder have to be self-funded.

It is hard to think of anything more distressing and frightening for an older person than to have a bailiff turn up at their front door, demanding entry, over a #TVlicence. We're still calling for the BBC and the Government to save free TV for over 75s bit.ly/3ijIH9T

Despicable that the BBC is about to launch a campaign of intimidation and harassment to force the elderly to pay the licence fee. They could have cut the pay of fat-cat "stars" and bureaucrats instead, or better still moved to a subscription model. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Pensioners who fail to pay BBC licence fee could clog up the courts

Tens of thousands of over-75s are staging a revolt against the scrapping of their free TV licences, which came into force on Saturday, but the BBC said it will 'enforce the law' regardless.

Instead of strategising how to take on Netflix, BBC bosses are clinging to the licence fee like a polar bear on a shrinking piece of ice. The latest plan to spend an additional £90 million over five years on harassing the public reeks of desperation. #DefundTheBBC

The BBC has clearly decided to double-down. This is an organisation that crows about having a global audience of half a billion, but needs a 'goon' army to coerce money out of British people who don't want to pay for its bloated groupthink. Switch to on-demand and #DefundTheBBC

We don’t believe the BBC should get more taxpayers’ money. We believe pensioners should be free to watch any live TV (excluding BBC) because it’s already funded through advertising. The BBC doesn’t need more money. It needs to streamline ready for the open market. #DefundTheBBC

Is this the society we want? where BBC spends £38 million on chasing over-75s for a TV licence fee, warning it will "enforce the law" if pensioners refuse to pay when many will now be forced to choose between their only companion & heating for their homes telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/08…

The BBC is spending millions on hassling and intimidating the elderly in order to extort money from them. Can they sink any lower? The sooner the licence fee is abolished the better. telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/08…

Over 100 BBC directors are paid more than the Prime Minister. Yet the organisation come to the Government with a begging bowl and use over 75s as a shameful bargaining chip. The license fee is a regressive tax which should be scrapped.
