It exists in France too. It's because at the beginning all channels were public channels (and they still exist).

You pay for public channels too, but it just comes out of your federal taxes automatically whether you watch tv or not. They get to choose whether to pay for it or not.

>old bill shows up
>"where's your TV loicense"
>tell them I don't watch TV and only use it for playing vidya
>"fair enuff ta-ra lads"

even so, have you watched news channels in any other euro country? constant ads scrolling across the the screen, followed by 15 minute ad breaks
I'll take the BBC with high production value and no ads any day

It's because the BBC is paid for by government taxes, which leads to the happy medium where you get high quality TV without any fucking adverts every 15 minutes.

You can still watch things like ITV and Channel 4 without a licence though.

it exists in most european countries

you dont gotta pay nufin when the heavies come knockin just offer them a crumpet while your mate hides the tv works every time

Which would be well and good if you could opt out of that garbage

Incorrect
You still "need" a licence but only the BBC benefits from your payments.
The whole thing is a scam.

Majority of the EU requires a tax paid into traditional TV companies.

I think I should point out that the cops don't turn up at your house waiting to twat you and walk you down to the paddy wagon

Mostly you get a letter through the door from TV liscening themselves, and if you just email them or ring them saying "Yeah, I haven't got one" then they just fuck off and leave you alone and there's nothing they can do

In any other Euro country

There are many others with the same model you absolute fucking faggot. You're not even a euro country anymore, cuck

Again, you only "need" a license if you watch BBC channels or use the BBC iPlayer. You can literally just tell them that you don't do either and since they can't prove anything, they will just let you be.

Stop chatting shit about stuff you know nothing about.

and they sit back and accept that bullshit?

literally a beta country

Nice legend bro. Wtf do the colors mean ?

light green = no mandatory tv license

I meant it in the literal European sense you fucktard, and even then you're still wrong because we still haven't left the EU yet.

are you actually that stupid? we're not leaving Europe you thick cunt

Guys a tv licence just flew over my house

why is america so socialist bros

Same to you. Do some reading.

This

I don't watch public TV, I don't pay a liscence

The cuck USA has to fucking pay anyway whether he likes it or not

Even weirder is they then use that money to fund the BBC which is non-stop far left propaganda. So Brits literally pay to be brainwashed

No adverts

People working in media have a skewed perception of the world and government funded TV channels won't ever phase out those kinds of people, because there's nobody that tells them "Dude, we can't show this" or "This is made up". They can just show whatever they want and still get their paycheck. But if there's anything I hate about it, then it's the fact that they are using the tax money to get exclusive licenses on sport events or use the money to travel across the globe with multiple teams that do the same research. They have jobs that simply exist to keep other jobs alive, just for the sake of making sure that everyone gets a cut from the grant or the stolen money of citizens.

absolute state of europe.

Well at this point its Schrodinger BBC becasue everybody on the right says the BBC is left wing and everybody on the left say the BBC is right wing

The people that say that are on the far left extremist wing. Those people are anything but progressive and are not really liberals, commonly found on resetera and twitter.

implying Brits done love to follow the rules
