As usual they haven't allowed for Licence renewal and payment the
same as their awful programmes – just stamp licence 'REPEAT'.

I guess that oncee again it will be more rubbish programmes for more cash,
there's very little worth watching on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

I knew once they made 450 news personnel redundant (no doubt hiring them again in another capacity) the licence fee would rise. They had to be seen to be "playing their part in cost-cutting" before they announced the rise.

If I was younger, more 'Wolfie Smith' and never knowingly broken the law in my life, I would take a stand right now and just refuse to buy a licence. Roll on with the threat to decriminalise not paying the licence fee. I may yet stop my DD.

They do pretty decent programmes on the BBC. However, they should not make it more expensive than Netflix.

Send them a photocopy of last year's license - tell them it is a 'another chance to see' ... they seem to like repeats!

Thieving, lefty snowflakes. Grrrr

No seriously, I don't mind paying. There's some pretty good progs, beeb news website is uncomplicated and they don't ask for subscriptions or anything. iPlayer is brilliant, it's where I watch most stuff nowadays.

After several years without having to pay seems this year I will as no one is getting it free any more. Bit of a bummer that.
