Not a lot but every little helps.

should be cancelled altogether!

[ladybirder]

Agreed, paying for it will cancel out the older people's SP increase. I can't remember when it was due to come in but I think it's delaying it for only a couple of months.

Would they check up if when I got a demand to pay the license fee I sent the demand back saying deceased?

[ladybirder]

Just read my own link ...
Two months' reprieve.

I think it should be made pseudo-voluntary, I for example would be quite happy to pay it but people on basic state pension only would no doubt find it a trial. Only problem is I'm not sure how it could work, the super-rich would no doubt not pay (that's the attitude which got them super-rich after all) which would be unfair.

[ladybirder]

You try it and let us know. If you're successful we can all do it;-)

LOL

Were you to return a letter and mark it 'deceased' they would reissue the letter addressed to 'The Occupier' and the whole thing starts up again.

Nice idea though.

[Jordyboy9]

I will be honest and say after not paying for so long I grudge having to start now,
My other objection is the salary paid to the likes of Gary linekar,and the 2 robots on a question of sport,and others,Ryland,and those other buffoons on the baking programs.

i'm not getting over excited at the thought of saving twenty five quid

[THECORBYLOON]

JORDY, you could say you were deceased and the BBC would pass that on to the DWP who would likely suspend your pension whilst investigating the information.

Should be abolished totally.
