Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

[motorbiking]

What mistaken impression?

ask the BBC they admitted giving it. It's clear in the correction and apology.

 

[Notch7]

Not because of some great principle but because it's brain-dead trash.

Murdoch owned Sky Australia is brain dead trash.

GBnews is brain dead trash

BBC is for intelligent people

 

[wobs]

Bluster, noise and attitude as normal.

Of course people go to prison for non-payment of the BBC fee. Lots of them are women, as their bully boys tend to pick on them as a weaker target. I'm not going to go and get evidence of the bleeding obvious for you.

"The maximum penalty for non-payment of the TV licence fee is a fine. A person cannot receive a custodial sentence for TV licence evasion but can be committed to prison for wilfully refusing to pay the fine or culpably neglecting to pay. Imprisonment is only pursued as a matter of last resort.

In 2019, 122,603 people were proceeded against for non-payment of the licence fee. Of these, 113,002 people were fined. The number of people admitted to prison for failing to pay fines in respect of the non-payment of a TV licence in England and Wales in 2019 was two or fewer (the actual number has not been released in order to protect against personal identification)."

However, you can be jailed for non-payment of subsequent fines.

You are aware you can watch ITV news and Channel 4 news without a licence as long as its not live (noting the definition of live has not been tested).

Trumps speech incited violence

BBC apology does state otherwise

 

[carmanmemoranda]

don't be daft.

Nothing daft with what I said.

You've been proven wrong before, many times in here.

Not many would take your free legal advice . Free legal advice is usually very expensive

apart from it being wrong

only in your unqualified brain and that of your chippy, plumber and labourer mates'

I don't give free legal advice on this forum.

Good job . Shall we call it incorrect legal opinions then ?

I guess if you change the meaning of the word "incorrect" to mean, something I don't understand or agree with.

seems you don't understand plain, simple English.

Have you checked your spel ing?

 

[blup]

It's not tax payers money as such. The BBC is funded by a licence fee, it is entirely optional to pay. I know some of their legal team, they will need external help, to put it gently.

They haven’t got a rich Mum to bale them out. When the Dershowits guy made it clear he was fighting to the end, their chief witness had a sudden change of memory. Which made me suspicious of her whole case.

Bluster, noise and attitude as normal.

Oh, the irony...

Of course people go to prison for non-payment of the BBC fee.

1) That's simply, legally, impossible.

2) If you still think that people reading your nonsense are so studip that they don't understand about imprisonment for non-payment of court issued fines, produce the numbers for that, or it isn't happening.

I'm not going to go and get evidence of the bleeding obvious for you.

You mean you can't, because there isn't any.

You're posting things which are untrue.

Again.

The number of people admitted to prison for failing to pay fines in respect of the non-payment of a TV licence in England and Wales in 2019 was two or fewer (the actual number has not been released in order to protect against personal identification)."

Also, later data:

4 August 2022 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.
