I'm sorry, I've been a 9/11 Truther for ten years but this struck me as a pointless stunt that was going nowhere right from the start. I'm not remotely surprised that the media didn't cover it. He's refusing to pay his TV licence because the BBC, by discrediting those who challenge the official narrative, is supporting terrorism? Who's going to buy that? The predictable result was, the judge told him to go away and buy a TV licence and the rest of the world took no notice. As for the notion that others should also start refusing to pay their TV licence, how likely is that? I salute the intention and the sincerity of Tony Rooke but feel, really, that this whole episode does nothing more than confirm the prejudice that we are all a bit fringe and weird. It was naive and makes us look naive. IMHO.
