@SSTHawdReserve ✈️ $65 JUST TO LAND IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY? ✈️
We are Somalilanders.
We send money home, support our families, and stay connected to our land.
Yet, we are taxed like outsiders just to visit our home.
⚡ This fee is unfair, exploitative, and must end!
#Somaliland #StopTheFee
Dear @tvlicensing, why are you sending threatening letters to ordinary hardworking people (many vulnerable) telling them you’re going to visit their house? Doesn’t the government’s #StayAtHome message apply to you? #stopthefee #bbc
If you haven’t already, head over and follow @DefundBBC led by @JamesLYucel. The message is stronger than ever before - the BBC must change. #StoptheFee #DefundTheBBC
BBC presenter Emily Maitlis is brazenly taking on the role of partisan political commentator. The BBC ought to be impartial. You have to pay for it, regardless of whether or not you value her personal opinion. We want to change this. Follow us and together we will #stopthefee
.@maitlis: “Good evening. Dominic Cummings broke the rules. The country can see that and it’s shocked the government cannot.”
It’s OUR money. Why don’t the people who have to fund get a say?
A subscription model wouldn’t let this happen. Scandalous. #StoptheFee
NEW: BBC executives have reportedly conceded that BBC Four will go off-air by the end of the year.
The decision is reportedly driven by cost cutting due to the Coronavirus crisis. The majority of BBC Four's budget would be reassigned to BBC Three.
Unfortunately the BBC cares very little about the interests of the British people, the people that pay their (obscene) salaries. #stopthefee
What a joke. B. B. C. News reporting from a migrant camp in Calais. Worried sick about the health of illegals wanting to enter Britain illegally. Utter disgrace
I wonder how many of these ‘stars’ could have their salaries cut by government to help those who need it most right now?
Lavish #BBC wages could be saving lives instead. #StoptheFee #coronavirus
Lockdown has shown us how hollow the BBC’s output is. No quality and no value for money. Meanwhile, @NetflixUK, @PrimeVideo and their counterparts have seen 1000s of new customers - isn’t it obvious?
We think so. #StoptheFee.
Portillo is right. The licence fee system is dead.
Outdated, expensive and oppressive. It’s time for us to #StoptheFee.
“The BBC is losing its audience’
Michael Portillo says he does not believe the licence fee can ‘survive’. #bbcqt
It was sad to see Boris defend the BBC today in Parliament during #PMQs.
He should tackle them head on and explain that the licence fee is a waste of money.
We’re watching you, Prime Minister...
#StoptheFee
“You’re forced to pay it if you want a TV, and therefore it’s a tax.”
Gary is right. High-paid stars like him are given mega salaries by the taxpayer with no opt-out. It’s time for change. Let’s #Stopthefee.
Gary Lineker says BBC should make licence fee voluntary https://t.co/FXUPNjCDuI
We were excited to hear Boris Johnson suggest a change to the licence fee. Eight in ten want to see radical change.
So do we. Let’s #StoptheFee

Why is licence fee payers’ money being used to payout for a mistake that we didn’t make? The millionaire bosses at the BBC should cough up, not us. Disgraceful. #stopthefee
The BBC will pay a reported £2m to Cliff Richard as his privacy case against the corporation wraps up. https://t.co/qnv9x01NqI
A man who earned £1.75 MILLION for just 67 appearances on TV. That’s £26K each. Why should we have to pay for his luxury? These jokes will never be funny, @GaryLineker.
#StoptheFee
The BBC’s rolling coverage of Boris entering No10 is being fronted by Huw Edwards, who is paid nearly FOUR times as much as the prime minister’s salary. His current salary sits at a maximum of £539,999 a year. Something’s not right - let’s #StoptheFee.
Worth issuing a reminder that the BBC spends £139,000 on copies of the @guardian (1,300 a week). Is that the best use of our money? We don’t think so. #StoptheFee
Today we saw the first crack in the BBC licence fee with the move to subscription for some repeats. It has to be all or nothing. Hopefully Britbox will show the BBC chiefs that subscription or commercialisation is the only logical step forward for its survival. #stopthefee
