Trump - again

I did complete the online form in the end. But as you say, that wasn't available at the point of cancelling. And even after that they still sent another letter threatening to come round in person to check that TV wasn't being used at that property.
I am no longer liable at that property now so don't know whether any more letters arrived after I left.
The licence on my main property wouldn't have covered the temporary property as well, so I couldn't choose that from the online form. (Although that's also a daft regulation, seeing as I can't be watching TV in two different properties at the same time).

I have always wondered why nobody has produced a "delay box" to put a 1 second delay in to a TV signal - thus not being "live" and no licence required.

Anyone remember the Queen Elizabeth II documentary scandal? A trailer was edited to make it seem she stormed off a photo shoot.
The BBC head had to resign then too 🤦🏼♀️

I've written a song about Trump suing the BBC

The BBC would need to pay me to watch fake news channels!
I've had to switch off Newsnight twice in recent weeks because Sergei Cobb was in the studio, grinning inanely 🙄 (in the interests of balance)
HARDtalk ended recently after 20 years but Unspun World with John Simpson, world affairs editor, has been extended to 30 minutes. Sadly, he looks exhausted but BBC journalism is second to none.
The BBC produced Esther Rantzen and Childline.
In over 100 years of broadcasting, of course mistakes have been made.

Exactly - and that is why the BBC already has 4672 FOI requests made against it !!
Someone has beaten me to it :

The problem is if bbccan get away with editing trump speech . It will 100% mean thet will in the future. Editing can change context and truth and manipulate that altering fact and truth.
Maybe if trump does sue BBC they then be vetted and other truths may come out . Meaning people then can argue about the liscence being mandatory.
They may be independent but other businesses would have to answer that are. Definitely wouldn't get away with it.
So why are hung to paying tv liscence to BBC when they are dishonest . There was more truth in the news of the world and they paid the penalty for there wrongs. Why shouldn't BBC be accountable

This is great publicity for Auntie Beeb! We should be thanking Pensioner Trump.

Trump is a bad man, he is a liar and a buffoon – much like Boris Johnson but much more dangerous.

£154 per BBC licence payer (24 million) is what it will cost us - if Trump is successful in his legal action against the BBC…….AND it may well be……..

I don't think it'll go to court..(A) It's never been shown in America and (B) The case should heard in British court.
Whatever you think of the BBC, this man has no right to control the media by sueing each and everyone for billions, this is how this creep lives and funds his following. I wonder if someone should sue him for the words he's just said about the late film producer, all because he wasn't a trump supporter.

BBC needs to abolish the license fee anyway, I wouldn't watch a BBC programme if someone paid me, its like literal torture. While I do sympathise with license fee payers I do hope the BBC is punished in some way and hopefully puts people off paying and watching BBC.
General TV and any sort of license is a thing of the past.

But what about the people that can't afford all those luxuries. That seems to be a lot of money being paid out to avoid the BBC, don't wish things gone because you can afford all those and most people can't do that. I don't claim anything and I certainly can't afford what you've got. And I certainly hope the BBC aren't punished in any way just because you want them to Rubin. TV isn't on it's way out as you put it, there's more programs than being done in that sector than ever before.
