The British Public Wants The BBC License Fee Abolished

March 30. 2018

BBC

A number of articles and blog posts online indicates the public wants the BBC license fee to be abolished. Each year Britons who own a television pay £147 to the BBC, totaling £5 billion pounds annually. The  BBC is supposed to use the money to create programming. However, a number of controversies have erupted, leaving Britons displeased with the fee.

A scandal emerged when the public discovered the BBC is paying male employees (including on-air talent) more money than women. When the salaries of BBC employees was disclosed, many members of the British public were outraged at the millions being paid to stars of the network, out of public taxpayer money.

A member of Parliament voiced his concern that the BBC is duplicating shows on other channels such as ITV and Channel 4. The claim is true. Previously, the BBC was known for creating and airing great, groundbreaking, original programming. However, in recent years, since distributor and partner Warner Bros got more of a foothold at the BBC, the network has infringed many preexisting copyrights.

In 2015, ITV stated of the BBC's rip off programming, "it is not remotely ambitious enough to justify the £3.7 billion of annual public funding, nor consistent with what the BBC actually said it wants to do" and referenced, "Eliminating derivative programmes and ideas from the BBC schedules." Derivative means stolen, rip off or copyright infringing.

As stated on the site previously, the BBC, in connection with their distributor Warner Bros and deranged thief Madonna, who is signed to Warner, criminally infringed multiple preexisting, unpublished copyrights I registered with the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, years prior to them being unlawfully used without permission [Madonna's Criminal Conduct At The BBC In Britain Has Nasty Racist Slavery Connotations To It (Anthony Joshua, Daniel Kaluuya) and BBC Commits Criminal Copyright Infringement With ‘McMafia’ TV Show].

The invasion of privacy grew so bad, even shows I watched by other companies were infringed by Madonna and the BBC. For instance, in 2005-2006 I liked a UPN network sitcom called "Cuts" starring Marques Houston and Shannon Elizabeth. I'd remembered "Cuts" years later because it was funny. So, I downloaded a few episodes, as the show had not aired in years.

2005 show "Cuts"

As stated on the site previously, Madonna, has criminally paid hackers to hack my computers for years and in a matter I was interviewed by the FBI about twice, in reference to her private investigator, Anthony Pellicano, whom I gave them evidence and information on, with which they used to gain a criminal conviction against him (he was sentenced to 15-years in prison and is currently behind bars).

2013 rip off "Quick Cuts"

Because I downloaded "Cuts" from You Tube, Madonna's hackers notated it as they do everything that goes through my computer that connected to the internet. Shortly after, well-known entertainment industry thief Madonna and the BBC ripped off the preexisting show "Cuts" and turned it into the BBC's 2013 show "Quick Cuts." Both shows are a comedy about a barber shop and beauty salon run by a black man and white woman. "Quick Cuts" ripped off the storylines of preexisting "Cuts." However, "Cuts" was funny, but "Quick Cuts" was not good. It was quickly cancelled.

Not to mention, the star of "Quick Cuts" was also previously cast in Madonna's failed, criminal copyright infringing rip off movie "Material Girls" (which she stole from my preexisting copyrighted catalog and renamed it by changing one word in the title). He is an actor I had tweeted about and to online and on one occasion he responded (prior to the "Quick Cuts" infringement).

Madonna has a sick habit of repeatedly going to my Twitter page, later mimicking my tweets and articles from this site, on her social networking pages like a mindless moron who can't think for herself. Madonna has also insanely been contacting famous people I retweet regularly, tweet about or at, which is a sick thing for her to do. She even threatened an athlete through fellow Kabbalah cult member Jay Z. Madonna is an obsessed, deluded lunatic.

The BBC made a massive mistake getting involved with her, as time will show, she will be their undoing with the insane things she has done at that network. The British taxpayers deserved better than that. Madonna's partially hidden criminal conduct has the potential of getting the BBC shutdown.

Thousands CRIMINALISED by BBC licence fee crackdown – while stars get rich on our cash

THE BBC is helping CRIMINALISE poor people who struggle to pay the licence fee – so it can better fund the jaw-dropping pay-packets of ‘stars’ like Gary Lineker and Chris Evans.

PUBLISHED: 18:40, Fri, Jul 21, 2017 | UPDATED: 18:41, Fri, Jul 21, 2017 - The BBC has been accused of ramping up its efforts to prosecute fee dodgers to pay its rich stars. Shockingly one in every 10 criminal prosecutions in Britain is for non-payment of the BBC licence fee – a massive 185,000 people, according to most recent figures.

And, as if to add to the current sexism row engulfing the BBC, 72% of those left with a criminal record are women. Non-payment of the TV licence fee is the only ‘utility bill’ offence which results in a criminal record – failing to pay electricity or gas bills remains a civil matter. Now MP Andrew Bridgen, an outspoken critic of the BBC, is demanding the scrapping of the licence fee and an end to the criminalisation of people too poor to pay.

 The MP for NW Leicestershire said: “If someone cannot afford to pay the £145.50 licence then they are highly unlikely to be in a position to pay a £1,000 fine. “People are being criminalised where their only crime is being poor and this needs to stop.”

BBC Publishes Pay of Top Stars, Revealing Gender Gap

JULY 19, 2017 - The BBC headquarters in London. The broadcaster is obliged to publish the names of those it pays more than about $195,000 a year out of the revenue it receives via a license fee levied on most British households. LONDON — Only one-third of the BBC’s top-paid stars are women, and only a tiny number are black, Asian or members of another minority group, according to pay data that the publicly funded broadcaster published for the first time on Wednesday...

Like the National Health Service, the BBC is seen in Britain as a central institution of public life, but it is competing in a rapidly changing environment and faces growing demands for transparency and accountability. The broadcaster is largely financed through an annual license fee of 147 pounds, or about $191, paid by nearly every British household, but it also receives commercial and other income, most of it generated from abroad...

LICENCE FEE DITCH Record 3.5million Brits cancel BBC’s licence fee in favour of streaming sites Netflix and Amazon Prime

MPs called for the Beeb's 'out of date' £147 annual licence fee to be dropped

19th December 2017, 9:09 am Updated: 20th December 2017, 1:09 am -ALMOST 3.5million Brits have cancelled their TV licence fee in the last four years — a rate of almost one million a year. Many are snubbing the BBC in favour of streaming sites such as Netflix, statistics reveal.

MPs have called for the £147 annual licence fee to be dropped, a move supported in a poll by 29 per cent. Figures obtained under Freedom of Information rules show 788,605 people cancelled in 2017. In the preceding years it was 817,509, 875,169, and 945,751.

Tory David Davies said: “These reflect that millions of people feel that the BBC no longer reflects their outlook on life. “If the BBC don’t start representing the large slice of the populace, who support Brexit and worry about immigration, then we will end up having to move towards a subscription service.”
