Brilliant, I downloaded it and passed it on to members of my family. My family left Co Mayo in 1846. They settled in The Calton which was a multi ethnic community. Some are still there. Others went to New York
If, say every member of the public were to cancel directly funding the BBC but continued to defiantly and publically watch it, what could the BBC realistically do about it?
Fine everyone? Jail everyone? This is doubtful.
But say there was a fighting fund set up from revenues saved by not paying the TV tax, and a team of lawyers explicitly dealing with any court actions, surely if the volume of non payers exceeded the Beeb’s capacity to enforce it then it could be beaten in the same way as the poll tax.
Maybe a job for Tommy Sheridan to organise since he’ll be at a loose end now.
It could be started off immediately and massively by inviting those who already cancelled the TV tax to participate and give the BBC an unsurmountable workload at the outset.
It could work and might get the state broadcaster to reassess the way it treats the paying public.
