I’m not going to pay £169.50 to be insulted by the BBC almost on a daily basis.
After all I can get that at home for free.

Here’s to the next 500k cancellations 👏👏

[mximxi]

They should be refunding everyone who's paid for the last 10 years when they probably haven't watched a thing on the BBC

[simonwaldock]

Perhaps if the BBC stopped transmitting garbage, this trend might reverse.

[michaelcollins]

When I called the BBC to cancel earlier this year, I was asked for the main reason why, I told them it was mainly due to their disgusting stance on Palestine and got the response "fair enough!"

[TheWolfe]

Bye bye bbc this is what you get for your corruption

[SirAmicVarze]

I'm genuinely pleasantly surprised that the public is waking up to the BBCs bias. Hopefully more and more cancel the license fee.

[Omar-kwui]

Would rather pay that licence fee to the NHS. The NHS could use an extra 4.1358 Billion. The British propaganda and genocide defence cooperation don't deserve anything.

[Xandermonkey]

Didn’t cancel mine, just stopped paying it. Since then they’ve spent more than the licence fee sending me letters and visits where they leave you an intimidating note through your door. I don’t watch tv or use any bbc services, but I refuse to declare I won’t watch it. There are millions of pay for services in the world, and I don’t have to declare I don’t want any of those.

The main thing that annoys me about the BBC is how patronising it is; it is so dumbed down and clearly thinks the population is composed of morons. Perhaps it is, but chasing them down to the bottom is not the solution, especially for a publicly funded broadcaster.

[ImMigrant]

BBC does not act independently and impartially. Even if it did, it is too expensive for the value it provides.

[EcoSailor]

I agree with you and I'm 64. I haven't owned a TV for almost 25 years and it's truly liberating.

[AsalBasalTum]

I will never get over the emotional damage British television has caused me. They need to pay us compensations for watching bbc.

[chumabanjwa]

Thank you for reminding me to cancel my licence. Now it's 500k+1!

[helllznnooo]

I’m Canadian and grew up with my father religiously watching BBC news every night at 6 pm. As a young adult and later an adult, I would read BBC news first thing every morning. I deleted the app in Nov 2023. I feel like a fool for ever thinking they were an impartial news source. The media’s take on Gaza has really shed a light on how much garbage the public has been fed. I am now an avid subscriber of YouTube channels like this one. Just two cents from a friendly Canadian.

[squizzlygrirrel]

Any organization that needs to threaten people with legal action to get their funding needs to go. how is it legal to treat anyone without a TV as being guilty?

[Warp]

Not watched or listened to the BBC in 7 years. Garbage 🗑️

[blackmagic]

I used to be a TV addict. Today I don't own a TV and I couldn't be happier. Looking back, I realise how controlled I was by the national narrative I used to be. Now, as long as I've got my computer and an internet connection I'm fine.

[jasonsmith]

DEFUND THE BBC !!!
