"Last January, the Government confirmed that there were no people in prison for failing to pay a fine for non-payment of a TV licence in England and Wales. The data was published at the end of a consultation into decriminalising the licence fee." - Byline Times

Hello there I think that the tv license fee is too expensive for people who leaning disabilities have to pay for a tv license especially when they are on benefits &can't work because if we worked are benefits would be cut it is not fair having to find £159.00 a year when you can't work from

Leaning disabilities? They're unable to lean over?

My elderly (almost eighty) mother is registered blind but still pays a full TV licence because they refused her the discount. The BBC are disgusting and not loved by me. Haven't watched their drivel for many years now and cancelled my licence online.

But we have the choice of paying for the theatre, with the BBC we are being made to pay it under the threat of extortion by threat of being taken to court and given a criminal threat

"Every year scores of the most vulnerable people are thrown into prison for not paying the licence fee." Er, no they're not. But hey, don't let the facts stand in the way of a good old rant

I think this topic is opening a very bad wound for most people

No, I avoid anything to do with the BBC.

"You cannot be sent to prison for failing to pay a TV licence fee, only for failing to pay a fine in connection with a conviction for not paying the fee-and the latest available figures for England and Wales show no one was jailed for this in 2020 or 2021." - Full Fact

It should be scraped.

That's not what scrapers are for, mate. I assume you meant scrapped.
