From BBC response to the Government’s consultation on decriminalising TV
licence evasion 31 March 2020 at:
Note that evasion, UK data, has been falling since 1991 when it was 13%.
This correlates with the results of the Survation poll with data collected on 16-23 April. Overall, it suggested 51% of Brits trust the BBC ‘to provide you with information about covid-19.’ With trust for the Scottish Government at 70%, social media was alive with gleeful commentary on the gap but it’s far better than that, when you see the regional breakdown.
It’s better because we can reasonably link the responses to the dominant, big audience news broadcasts – Reporting Scotland and Good Morning Scotland – and because ‘Low Trust’ was at these levels:
- London 14.8%
- South 18.4%
- Midlands 21.8%
- North 21.5%
- Wales 15.2%
- N Ireland 11.5%
- Scotland 38%
Only 8 out 143 Scots asked ‘completely trusted’ BBC.

I want to stop paying the license fee in fact I did so a few years ago but then found out by accident that my wife had started paying it !!
She said she likes antiques roadshow
We argued
She continues to pay it
I never watch BBC or STV
Sunday past my wife put antiques roadshow on , an hour of World War Two celebration , VE Day, I said I was really tired of war war war on tv
She agreed and switched it off

As soon as the BBC starts to fulfil its “public service broadcaster” role properly and stops being a “state propaganda broadcaster” on behalf of the british state then many people will be happy to pay the licence fee. Until then . . . . . .
