“I’m SUING TV Licence Chiefs“ - Ex-BBC Scotland Lawyer On ’Threats’ Served To Him Over Licence Fee

The Culture Secretary has asserted that the BBC should not have the authority to prosecute individuals for not paying their TV licence fee. This statement follows a TalkTV investigation that unveiled nearly 130 daily prosecutions for failure to pay the £159 television licence fee. Lucy Frazer stated that she will examine the BBC’s use of criminal prosecutions during the next charter review period. Speaking to TalkTV, Ms. Frazer reiterated her disagreement with criminal prosecutions but acknowledged that the powers of ministers are “limited in order to change that.“ Ex-BBC Scotland lawyer Alistair Bonnington explains why he is suing TV licensing chiefs after receiving threats. “They said they would take me to court, sent a letter that indicated I was getting an intimidating visit. They ignored everything I said to them.“ Click here for more from TalkTV If you need any help visit:
