BBC under fire over licence fee court cases #BBCNolan

The BBC has been accused of clogging up the court system by prosecuting licence fee evaders. The Belfast Telegraph today reports that TV licence cases accounted for a quarter of all criminal prosecutions in Northern Ireland last year. The paper says the legal system was swamped by ten thousand licence fee cases in 2014/15. And only half of those prosecuted were found guilty, it reports. What do you think at home - is prosecuting people for non licence fee payment a waste of time and money? Or is it vital to make sure the licence fee is paid?
