Reform UK MP has vowed he will not pay a “single penny” for the BBC TV licence fee and Lee Anderson said that the “bully boys” have been to his house and are “threatening legal action.”
Anderson told 400 members during a Reform rally that last year at a national conference “I ripped up my TV licence reminder on stage, well I’ve got another reminder to rip up tonight but I’ll tell you this.
“The bully boys have been round again, they’ve got red letters, they are threatening legal action if I don’t pay my licence fee.”
Anderson vowed he will not pay “one single penny” to the BBC for a TV licence.
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party has previously said they will scrap the BBC TV licence.
In 2024 Farage said, “The out-of-touch wasteful BBC is institutionally biased. The TV licence is taxation without representation.
“We will scrap it. In a world of on-demand TV, people should be free to choose.”
The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has suggested to force people to pay the TV licence fee even if people only use their TV for streaming services such as Netflix.
Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe wrote on X, The BBC licence fee shouldn’t be extended to streaming services, it should be entirely scrapped.
“Force the organisation to stand on its own two feet – it would collapse within a week.
“When we win the next election, the BBC will be immediately defunded. It will be glorious!”
