The shitty failing BBC is in huge trouble, with a failing “public” network that nobody watches, and a new plan to target the most vulnerable people (the elderly) with charges and fines if they dare to watch the BBC.

The craptastic BBC has said that they will even send “enforcement Squads” around the country to spy on the UK citizens to try and catch them watching the BBC, and then will harass and threaten elderly Brits into paying to watch the BBC.

These BBC TV Licensing Goons show up at people’s home with warrants, and forcing their way inside to bully these people.

Fake News BBC is all but dead – thank God – and we really doubt that the BBC will even be around in another 5 years.

HELPFUL TIPS TO ANYONE WHO GETS VISITED BY THESE BBC ENFORCEMENT GOONS.
Do Not Open Your Door!!

The BBC will send “outreach” officers to over-75s to remind them that they will now have to pay to watch television, after it scrapped free licences for senior citizens.
From June 2020, only elderly people on a pension credit — a welfare benefit for poorer seniors — will be exempt from paying the BBC licence fee.

The BBC claims that it can no longer offer a free service to over-75s, after the government handed responsibility for the cost to the publicly-funded broadcaster, following a charter agreement made in 2015.

In the United Kingdom, if you watch programmes live or download or watch BBC material on iPlayer — whether on television, computer, or other devices — and have not paid the £154.50 licence, you are breaking the law and could be fined up to £1,000 for illegally watching TV.

TV licencing authorities employ “detection vans” which can “detect the use of TV receiving equipment at specifically targeted addresses within minutes”, and if you say you do not need a licence — for example, if you do not have a television — they may deploy “enforcement officers” to “confirm” whether you need to pay the tax or not.

Asked whether these same enforcement officers would “use the same methods” to pursue elderly TV tax “evaders”, the BBC’s director of policy Clare Sumner told the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Wednesday that it would be done “as sympathetically as possible” to help the elderly “understand” that they must now pay the BBC licence fee.

“We are recruiting specific people who will pay ‘support visits’ to this group with the intention of helping them understand how to apply. Now, that will be a different cohort of people to, I think, what’s called ‘inquiry officers’ who are the ones who enforce the licence fee,” Ms Sumner said.

A legal challenge over allegations the BBC has failed to act impartially should serve as a rude awakening, writes Andrew England Kerr MEP.

Scottish National Party (SNP) MP Brendan O’Hara asked whether, “essentially, you are using the same tactics but with different people coming to the door?” — which the policy director denied.

Mr O’Hara then asked Ms Sumner if she thought the visits would be “pretty traumatic” for senior citizens, with the director — who is paid £170,000 a year — replying: “They won’t be coming to your door in quite the way you imply.”

Director of Age UK Caroline Abrahams commented: “The more we hear about how the BBC proposes to run its new scheme from June 2020, the more filled with foreboding we are becoming.

“Unfortunately, these comments today certainly don’t correct the impression we are gaining that it’s going to be chaos at best and deeply upsetting for some of our oldest people at worst… this situation has all the makings of a slow-motion car crash, with many older people inexcusably getting hurt.”
