But here's a thought. I guess most of us who pay the TV licence do so by direct debit. Just think how much difficulty it would cause if instead we cancelled our direct debits and insisted on paying by cheque?
Might be worth doing if just to be bloody minded.
We're going to.
Yes, a lot of people are doing that now.
The trouble is that not only will it make things more difficult for the BBC police, it will also cost them more money to do it.
Can you see what's coming next?
Yes, licence fees increasing to cover costs!
Why bother with half-measures? Just cancel your licences.
In fact, as more people cancel their licences, the same applies: licence fees increasing to cover losses!
Then even more people will cancel theirs...
and round and round and round it goes!
