If you don't wish to pay the licence fee then don't have a television.

[guest29835]

If you don't wish to pay the licence fee then don't have a television.

The Sun newspaper stands by its story, but there may be disconcerting developments.

Claims made by the mother at the heart of the BBC presenter scandal are "rubbish", a lawyer representing the young person has said. The lawyer told the BBC "nothing inappropriate or unlawful" took place and the young person sent a denial to The Sun before it published the claims.
