Stop paying the Pro-EU BBC

It is evident that the BBC is heavily biased in favour of the EU and against UKIP. We could put a great deal of pressure on it to reform itself by threatening to stop paying our licence fees if it does not improve, specifically if it does not become less politically biased.

There is already a campaign to stop paying the licence fee here http://www.tpuc.org/stoppayingtvlicencefees. We could use the letter which is provided there but add something like the following:

Dear Sir,
In the recent European Election, the UK Independence Party came second, ahead of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. This election was the first one to involve the whole electorate since 2005 and it sent out a strong message that many people in the UK support the ideas and policies that UKIP put forward. Unfortunately, since the European Election, those people have hardly been represented on the BBC at all. The flagship political programmes on BBC television and radio, Question Time and Any Questions, for instance, have not had any participants from UKIP since the election. This is very strong evidence of the pro-EU bias which exists within the BBC. What is the reason for this bias?

(The rest of the letter can come from the website to which I gave a link.)

It has been brought to my attention that the Corporation has received and is now receiving substantial amounts of funding from the European Union, in breach of Charter Provisions, and that in consequence of this very suspect arrangement the BBC is now reduced to the function of providing both broadcasting & propaganda facilities to a form of alien authority that fails to acknowledge the Supreme Authority of the British Crown.

I must advise you that all such conduct serves to breach the provisions of the Treason Act, 1351 with the further provisions of the Treason & Felony Act, 1848.

In addition, I must advise that the Treason & Felony Act of 1848 provides that it is a Criminal Offence for Subjects of the Crown to give aid or comfort to Traitors, and that this offence is punishable by imprisonment for life.

I am concerned for my own position and I must ask you to cease and desist from all treacherous conduct & financial arrangements, without delay.

Unless I receive your written assurance that the Corporation will issue an immediate public apology for all Treason committed thus far, with your further guarantee that the Corporation will cease and desist from all and any conduct that fails to maintain the Supremacy of the British Crown, then I must give fair warning of my intention to discontinue the payment of all such moneys as are now being applied to the financial support of the BBC. I also expect to receive assurance that in future the UK Independence Party will be offered at least as much airtime as the Labour Party, given that it received more votes in the latest national election.

I look forward to receipt of your immediate response to this present letter and I give notice that payments in support of the BBC will be suspended, unless I receive a satisfactory response within 14 days of this present date.

Yours faithfully,

Highlighted sentence added by me.

If thousands of angry UKIP supporters send this letter out to the BBC on the same day, it will send a shiver up their spines. We need to act together. Copies of the letter could be sent to all local and national newspapers. Whether they would print them or not, I don’t know, but it would certainly stir up a lot of discussion.

I am willing to give it a go. What about everyone else on here? We must do something radical in order to get the UKIP message out. At the moment, we are dying from a lack of the oxygen of publicity. We need to be seen on television and heard on radio if we want to be taken seriously in the general election. If we all act together, this will have a tremendous impact.

I would be grateful if people would respond to this idea, even if it’s just a yes or no. Thanks.

  1. I've always thought the license fee was completely wrong. It wouldn't be so bad if it was used well, and granted, some BBC programmes are well put together. But when you see Jonathan Woss and Graeme Norton being paid ridiculous amounts…

  2. Sean O'Hare says:

    That's a YES. What is be the proposed date for sending it?

  3. Steve Halden says:

    UKIP should take more direct action like the Suffragettes did a hundred years ago, when they campaigned for women to get the vote.

    We should put our lives in peril as the Suffragettes did.

    Gandi in India did the same, and evernutally he helped gain independence for india.

    Peaceful nonviolent protest will prevail in the end, if it is carried out long enough, and by enough people.

    UKIP should carry out nonviolent protests against our sovereignty being handed over to the EU, and who knows we might oneday regain independence for Britain.

    It is a noble cause we are fighting.

    We want our democracy back !

    Sean,
    There isn't any proposed date yet. I'm just sounding people out. If a reasonable number of people agree to do it, we can arrange a date in a few weeks time. The beginning of August, perhaps.

  5. I would stop paying the licence fee if i was certain that there is a body of people who will support me through the legal implications in not doing so.

    I think its time the BBC went. There is no need for it.

  8. Ken says:

    I have already stopped paying the licence fee. You can legally watch DVDs and podcasts without a licence. I have been keeping a blog on the topic, but am taking a holiday at present.
