Taxes are for refugees, you dummy.

Also acceptable; "economic migrants"

This is a good sign though, it means they're desperate, which means less people are paying the stupid fucking license.
If you're moving into a new place in the UK, don't give your name to Capita, or even respond to the letters, at the most they'll send someone round every couple of years, to whom you say you're minding the property for the homeowner and they won't be back until tomorrow.
Been watching TV without paying for years, they can't do shit.

Only people that old are stupid enough to actually pay tv-license

Why do people insist on calling them refugees?
They aren't taking refuge from anything except the shit situation they created for themselves.

I don't disagree that the situation sucks, but that image could be used in 50 different threads at any given time.

Aren’t old people statistically the richest demographic? Why do they of all people need free shit? Why not give it to broke college students who haven’t had a chance to make much money yet? These people have had 70+ years to get money, if they haven’t managed to do it in that time maybe it’s just time for that sweet release.

America is also a socialist shithole, it's just that the socialism is entirely reserved for gigantic corporations and niggers.

Old people are the only ones who still watch TV

You really don’t know why? It’s an intentional political move to make people more sympathetic to them by calling them that. It’s like Obama calling anchor goblins “dreamers”. The people doing it assume those people will vote for them down the line so they are opening the flood gates and calling them frilly nice names instead of economic opportunists or invaders so people don’t get pissed and do something about it. And it’s worning. “These people are refugees how could you keep them out? What are you a heartless monster? These people turned their own country to shit, so logically they will come here and be law abiding tax paying working citizens who will help our country, derp.”

This was an outrage over here. There's really nothing worth paying for on Yea Forums in Britain.

are you in UK? everything ive ever read regarding licensing implied there's virtually no option to avoid paying. for instance in germany every household pays it, it is assumed you have a device and that's enough. don't pay, get enforced - although it coming to trials is questionable depending on where you are. you even pay it up to double, i.e. your carradio, business space etc.

In Britain they're the kids who grew up during rationing. It turned them all into little shits who never stop trying to get one more black market egg, and that carried over to a whole life of trying to take as much as possible.

Job and what made Ireland cheaper?

I assume you're talking about Southern Ireland not part of UK. Just checked the following and they're all better in us

Salaries, tax, electronics (iPhone), cars (Corolla), house prices (important to note although only slightly cheaper in us average house is double the size). Only thing which I think is know expensive is food and healthcare, but obviously these are mostly fixed and don't effect successful people.

I've tried convincing myself the mutts are getting cucked somewhere and they're really not, the catch is it's shit if you're poor and that's it.

I live in the UK and don't pay for it, they tried to push for the whole "If you have a computer you can use BBC Iplayer so you have to pay" but then they introduced a registration system for the website and fucked themselves so they cant make you pay unless you have an account with them.

here in the states, water is nearly free and depending on the state the roads are amazing.
the more black the city, the shittier the roads.

no it's literally something you can opt out of, it's a service you're paying to use, not a tax. you can't just not pay tax.

Do it man. Ireland is lovely. Really nice people, some of the lowest taxes, and surprisingly good food for an English-speaking country.

Rationing ended in 1954. Someone born in 1930 would be 89. There are plenty of people still alive who experienced it

yes I'm in the uk. you can literally go online and opt out.

Rationing in Britain only ended in 1954. The over-70s the article is referring to are the ones who grew up during the post-war rationing without directly contributing to the war effort. All it made them is grasping cheap bastards.

It’s weird that Americans lose their shit over the idea of the TV license when it’s a literally unavoidable tax in the US and the majority of other countries.

This is bullshit and you know it. If one of their "inspectors" wants to enter your house they get some court letter (courts/police never turn down requests from the licence people) and they will be escorted by the police to your doorstep.
One thing is to LARP on Yea Forums claiming you can dodge them, something entirely difference is the actual reality of that insufferable Orwellian shithole where the state security apparatus will bully and harass you over a fucking tv tax.
Having lived there for a few years made me understand why the Americans had to fucking kill you to gain their independence. Every Brit lives in a permanent state of denial when it comes to the creeping authoritarianism of their state. You are simply incapable of understanding the concept of liberty in it's purest form.

The most I have ever seen or heard of happening with anyone I know is someone coming to their door and saying ‘do you have a tv? You need to pay the license’. They have no legal right to enter your property. Everyone tells them to fuck off, and they never come back. Other than that there are letters, but nobody pays attention to them at all. It’s such a fucking non-issue. Nothing ever comes of it. Barely anyone even watches TV anymore.

They can and do retard, give it 2 years with their new social credit system and "spreading false rumors" about the police gunning down protesters is a great way to make sure your kids aren't allowed to travel or go to college while the only employment you're now allowed to have is shit shoveling

I truly would like to believe you can live similarly in the UK but you just can't, end of.

literally Stockholm syndrome lel.

then maybe the government shouldn't be exploiting that and violating its own citizens' rights

No chance of that happening in any country.

And suddenly one day people voted Hitler into power

that's what governments do.

why dont you guys just have commerials to pay for the channels?

Because PRIVATE BUSINESSES BAD. PROFIT BAD!

>everything except food is cheaper
idk about that. Every time I talk to someone overseas on here about food prices they lose their mind at how cheap meat is over here.

no they didn't, his party was already in power and he seized control, they didn't vote for hitler.

>his party was already in power and he seized control
Nice cope retard

we literally pay your defense you cuck

>Why do people insist on calling them refugees?
They'll be calling them "The future of Britain" next.
Every middle-class twat at the BBC should fuck off to America: that's where their "We are a nation of immigrants" cancer came from.

Detector vans are still straight up bullshit for anyone wondering. It's literally just a camera that looks into your window for flickering lights as you'd expect from someone watching TV.

They can't actually determine if a TV is being watched though. Only that a light in the house is flickering.
A guy walking past your home could do the exact same thing.

Most of the techniques used by TV licensing goons are bullshit. They rely almost entirely on tricking retards and the ones they can't trick they harass until they make a mistake that can be exploited.
If you have no contact with them, they basically can't do anything but send you letters and knock on your door.

You are a nation of immigrants, though. Germans (saxons) gave you your language and french (normans) gave you your system of laws and government.

>his party was already in power
That they were voted into. Lol

stfu and never post again mutt.

hitler wasn't leader when they were voted in, he literally seized control after the president died.

The current crop of Eurocuck leaders do not deserve our loyalty or help
If anything by draining your welfare systems for every penny you’re performing a civil service by accelerating the collapse whereby your national culture can be salvaged

Germany sell cars, France sell wine. And that's it for europe. Meanwhile USA and China sell AI and robots. Europe is a third world shithole.

Is the same in Sweden no?

Middle class labour voter is though
It’s basically calling you a dumb socialist cuck because your giving money to a party of full retards who hate your guts

Boomers just do what I do and tel the licence nerds to fuck off when they turn up

Yeah, or an opt-in subscription model like anything else? Seems an obvious solution, doesn't it?
It's literally because the BBC can get away with it. They're bullies who no one holds to account. They get to collect a fee from anyone who buys a TV just to watch porn and play X-Box and they intend to keep doing it.

You’re obligated to pay tax, you’re not obligated to pay for the tv licence if you can demonstrate you don’t consume any BBC channels

Majority of bong channels are funded this way, it’s literally a handful that aren’t. Don’t watch them, don’t have to pay for the licence

Commercials alone wouldnt be enough to cover the cost of operational bloat and poor programming the BBC has been running with for years. The same issue exists in Canada as well with the CBC.
Public sector industries will almost always accumulate bloat, waste, and redundancies over time because their relationship with democratic politics is cyclical and parasitic.

Not true, you're supposed to pay as long as you own a devise that can receive the BBC, and that's every TV by default.

>They get to collect a fee from anyone who buys a TV just to watch porn and play X-Box and they intend to keep doing it.

but these are the people that opt out and they can't do a thing about it, that's why they're having to scrap giving it to old people for free now.

Both wrong. The license is for "receiving a live broadcast". You can own a tv and not pay, as long as you don't use it for live broadcasts (ie you only watch dvds or play video games on it). It's impossible to prove so it's a bullshit law, of course.

They can't actually force you to pay, but they can intimidate you into doing so, and they do. It's a protection racket.

I'm not bragging, I'm stating a fact, so that others might start doing what I'm doing.

new brittains need clothes, food, housing & healthcare so the state needs more money

>You don’t need a TV Licence if you or anyone at this address:
>never watch or record programmes on any channel as they’re being shown on TV or live on an online TV service, and
never download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.
From the tv licensing website you utter spastic
tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/telling-us-you-dont-need-a-tv-licence

don't bother convincing mutts

Having a TV that receives the channels counts as that in their mind. I've heard how the Goons reason it.

When I live on my own, I'm thinking about bypassing the law by just buying a monitor instead of a TV. There was talk of changing the law where I live (Ireland), though, to be just a general broadcasting charge, so idk.

>I've heard how the Goons reason it.

The Goons can reason it any way they want, but when it gets to court and you plead not-guilty, a judge decides based on how the law is written not what some Goon made up on the spot.

Because you can literally declare that you don't consume an BBC entertainment so you don't have to pay for the license.

Then you can tell them to fuck off, and refer them to their own rules.
I’ve had the inspectors round multiple times and tell them to leave every time. They’ve got exactly zero legal authority, and it’s retards like you that bow to the pressure.

tv-licensing.blogspot.com/2012/09/using-digital-tv-for-radio-only-no.html

I only use the tv for listening to the radio, honest 'gov!

Well that's what I've been saying. There's no legitimacy to this. The BBC are just happy to bully and intimidate people, and they have free reign to do it.

the goons are full of shit though and are literally powerless, it's all scare tactics for retards, the people that get caught by them basically have to invite them into their home and freely admit guilt.

I don't pay license.

Gee, I wonder why they don't want to cut their least listened to radio stations?

I refuse to fucking believe that you need a license to watch TV. This has to be a joke. There is no way that this is possible or that people would be OK with this.

>Then you can tell them to fuck off, and refer them to their own rules.
>I’ve had the inspectors round multiple times and tell them to leave every time.

I've never had more than a couple of letters basically asking "hey are you sure you still don't need a license? remember to let us know if you do ok!!!!" since I opted out years ago. I've never known anyone that's actually had a knock on the door.

It used to result in quality TV, unfortunately that's slid into trash and propaganda.

Read the thread you retard. You can opt-out. These inspectors and letters are all scare tactics to make you think you need to pay, but you don't.

>Pay for product
>Also have to tip
Amerilards, ladies and gentlemen.

>based burger can't even read the thread

you'd probably fail the license test anyway, so never have to worry about it.

I feel bad for the Aussies, $335 tv licence is insane.

>You can opt-out

You cannot legally opt out if you wish to watch TV in the UK.

It's still funny to me that blind or deaf people get 50% off TV license costs in the UK

>These inspectors and letters are all scare tactics
Yes, that's the problem. Why are a company like the BBC allowed to employ borderline criminal tactics to bully people into giving them money? That is bullshit, and they should be taken to account for it.

>thinks american service workers are nice for tips
>not because anyone could be armed

jej

I agree, but they're not actually breaking any laws, so it's allowed.

I have, convo basically went
>hi can we come in and have a talk
>about what
>your tv licence can we come in
>no
>well you don’t have a licence and we need to confirm that you do need one
>don’t need one, don’t watch telly
>well can I come in to check
>no
>why
>because I’m not giving you permission to enter my home
>well if you don’t let me in you’re breaking the law and you might be subject to legal proceedings
>come back with a warrant then
He got really pissy at that point so I just shut the door in his face

>You cannot legally opt out if you wish to watch TV in the UK.
Only live TV or any BBC stuff

Better than Europe where even middle class person make 30k euros per year is taxed at a rate of 50% and 22% sales tax on everything you buy as well.

Blind people should get like 99% off tv is a visual medium

Isn't this reflective of 1984? You gotta pay to watch tv and even then, it's all the BBC telling you what's ok and what's not.
Are the piracy rates higher in the UK than elsewhere? I wouldn't fuckin' pay for a TV loicense. It's not like they can send me off to another big ass arid island

can't prove to them you don't watch tv

it basically means no matter what, if you're not paying they're going to hassle you for the money regardless

Kinda funny how Germany, the Netherlands and multiple other west european states have a higher HDI than the US. Food for thought.

If there isn't a law against big companies employing aggressive intimidation tactics against members of the public, there should be.

One good thing comes out of the license fee and that is comfy obscure BBC4 documentaries. The kind of things that could never be made by a commercial station.

Where else can you watch a documentary about 18th century linen or whatever.

Orwell was a socialist.

Holy shit didn't know Austria was that cucked.

The internet, for free

That sounds comfy

All you need to do is say you exclusively watch on-demand TV. You can flat out lie about it and there is nothing they can do to prove you wrong.

Generally speaking, that's what is meant by 'watching TV', no?

In that case, that's unlawful, and you can go to prison for it. All they will do is stand outside your house when it is dark and watch for the flicker of the TV, match it with a channel, and then bust you.

Not really, these days every station has on demand and all tvs now have the ability to watch on demand built in. How many people even sit down to watch a program live anymore?

That is because they got tricked in to saying they are guilty. If they had any real power the number "caught" would be in the millions. Fucking students dodge this shit all the time. Even i did when i lived alone. I got about 4 letters over 2 years. I just threw them away.

>How many people even sit down to watch a program live anymore?

You may be onto something. The figures I can find show that the top rated TV show gets around 9m viewers.

I can remember when TV soaps would pull in audiences of double that.

>Norway

You know, I was about to say you are wrong but then I realised Australia is pretty cucked too. One of our states stopped putting flouride in the drinking water and there's been a lot of backladh to that. Also there were some billboards with guns on them and the public were terrified that the NRA had infiltrated parliment and that, heaven forbid, it would be slighlty easier for citizens to purchase more firearms. Our citizens are trained well.

It's the intimidation factor from all the sheeple who are scared into compliance by their scary letters and threats of fines.

Thats because most Americans can afford cars dumbass

>Brainlets don't realise that you only need a TV loicence if you actively watch LIVE PROGRAMMING

Who the fuck still watches that? I watch everything on streaming platforms, YouTube, DVD, Blue Ray etc... all is safe from TV licence fees because they are pre-recorded programmes.

You just pay for the receiver and you can avoid the tv fees by not having one and stream to your smart tv for example for free. Also you don't have to let the cucks into your house. Radio you have to pay tho, because they could look in your car from the outside

test

It's unlikely that you will have blackout curtains, and even if you did, it's unlikely that that they would completely eliminate the detectability of light from outside the home.
All they have to do is wait for an ad break and they can easily match it to any channel.

It was always propaganda you fool

It didn't used to be anti-British propaganda tho.

People over 75 are the only ones still watching TV.

What if I hook my PC up to my TV and watch things like that

If you are watching live TV, or a streaming service which is broadcasting live, or media which you recorded as it was being broadcast live, then you would need a licence.

Very few under 30s and no one currently under 20 will ever pay that shit.

These old fucks are the first and last generation to sit and watch TV all day and are possibly the biggest demographic for hours spent watching the BBC. Anyway won't happen.

Fuck the BBC.

The germans have no way out of paying their license fee. It's embedded in their taxes.

Old people and retards are the only ones left that are stupid enough to pay the TV tax. It's so easy to avoid paying. I've had my own place with a television for 15 years and I have never once paid for a license.

>license test
Okay, that made me laugh.

>failed the eastenders essay question
FUCK

Denying reality won't change anything

It's not, retard. That service operates independently. And by the way, you can be excempt from paying the fee if you meet certain requirements, like if you live off student loans or neetbux.

>you get to the comedy questions, and you think you have it in the bag because you've seen Only Fools a million times, and half the questions are on The Smoking Room
Shit.

Well, we tried to prevent it from happening but you guys wouldn't help the right side win the War against the Northern aggressors. Bear witness.

This is an interesting way to say "we got our asses kicked"

That's the same as the BBC license. People on bennies don't have to pay. Currently, over 75's don't have to pay.

Why the fuck do you think such huge swathes of the US drink bottled water? Because the tap water outside of places like NYC who take pride in it fucking sucks.

The hordes never build their own communities, they just move into already-built areas. 80 years ago that was probably where the well-to-do lived, but those things will probably be rotting husks in another 20 years.

I haven't paid for the TV licence ever. I'm also currently not registered where I live. Fuck paying taxes.

Austrian here. Austria has the shittiest television ever. All that money goes to one network. It's called "ORF" and they don't create any original content at all. They license dubbed american content from German channels. Thats all. Fucking piece of shit fuck I hate this. You have to pay, even when you don't have a cable connection. The fact that you own a TV is enough for them to take your money.
