America is basically just england but with more fat people and school shootings

I was sleeping once when I felt something on my leg, I jumped up and it was a TV License Officer. He panicked when I ask why he just let himself in & he tried to turn it around by saying I might be in trouble for nothing having a TV License. He must’ve thought I was passed out and he was going to have his way with me or something.

Ill bite. I think its kinda dumb when it hits like 30° Celsius it makes the news.

T- ameriburger

I thought you were trolling, until i googled it.
That's some fucked up shit man.

oh, ok, england sounds almost cool then.. needs more fat people and school shootings.

I can't even tell if you're joking or not, they are the biggest scumbags that I could totally see them doing that

Are Brits allowed to use knives ay the table for food?

Yes, but must be at least this big so you cannot conceal it when you leave your flat.

Most food can be easily cut with the side of your spoon so there's no need

How you gonna slice up a tomato with that ?

Steak?

Do you have a permit for that licence?

I heard that you guys have a king and queen?
Da fuck?!??!!

I’m not joking. I haven’t left my door unlocked since. Afterwards he was messaging me asking follow up questions and sending pics of him doing unrelated stuff like drinking by the beach and asking what I was up to etc, I had to ignore him for 2 weeks before he stopped trying to talk to me. I think the worst part is that I don’t even know what a TV license officer is, I just made this up ayylmao wasted your time dickhead thanks for reading lolol the following is to disguise this comment as legitimate incase you read the bottom part first:

He was such a creep..

And whats up with the funny accent?

Fucking hell, I couldn't imagine living in a place like that. You guys really have to get your shit together.

No joke, we've got a porn license coming in soon that you need to pay for to look at porn online. They keep delaying it because there's absolutely no possible way the system will ever work but nobody wants to admit that and cancel the plans entirely

I once asked Mr TV license if he had a pilot's license. Told me he doesn't have a plane. I told him that he may be lying so asked if I could come and search his house for a plane. He refused to give me his address. I closed the door.

This entertained me. I live a sheltered life.

You got a license to say that in America?

I think I'd have moved the hell out a loooong time ago friend. I hate to say it, but if you gets can't get things in an upward swing with brexit, I'd abandon ship yo.

Only until the rozzer's come a'knockin'.

i completely forgot about brexit. Too lazy to read about it now but back then i hoped it would bring a new generation of freedom to the UK but its like the rest of europe just said "lol nope" after the UK voted to do it.

>dumb British shit
aren't you going to get arrested for saying that online?

why don't people just carry knives and claim that they are used in a shariah religious ceremony or something.

>TV without a license.
someone explain this shit so I can properly laugh at you faggots

real answer. british corporations send out fake g-men to force people to pay a TV license so they can legally watch cable television.

They aren't the only country with a TV license its just the most awkwardly Orwellian tactic enforced

Well you guys have Boris Johnson I think his name is, leading the whole thing and he seems kinda promising. I've been rooting for you guys to get some fucking liberty and freedom.

guns + niggers = school shootings lmao freedumb fuck yeah

>It's a criminal offence to watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer unless you have a valid TV licence. Without one you risk prosecution and can be issued a fine of up to £1,000, plus court costs.

i'm not british i just remember the brexit vote even making its way here and british anons were talking about it like it was their new dawn but after that the news indicates that everyone is just ignoring its passing.

>Boris Johnson I think his name is
Full name, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. I kid you not.

Hurr durr British people need the government to make tv propag...programs for them

Im not britsh, explain that bullshit for me?

>"My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive."

Classic BJ quote.

No.

how much does a TV license cost? does it only cover BBC or do you get cable/comcast/infinity channels (HBO / stars)?

back in the day you could remove a physical filter to get all the pay channels in freedomland, now it's all served up digitally and you can't even tip your cable guy $50 to do it for you. sad times.

The license fees pay for the BBC and if you don't pay for it they send someone round to bully you into paying for it unless you let them snoop around your house to prove you aren't watching live TV or BBC iPlayer

TV licence "officers" aren't officers like the cops. They're employed via private companies. They have no right to enter your home. Ask them to leave your property, if they do not do so immediately and I mean immediately call the police.

TV licencing say they have a 99% success in prosecutions because idiots think they are the police and either fess up or let them in. Tell them to fuck off. You are allowed to use reasonable force in removing them or if your dog bites them, it's tough luck.

>America is basically just england but with more fat people and school shootings
And niggers...don't forget all our niggers

You know no one has to pay it right ?

I think it's like £100 a year and it covers all live TV and online BBC content so even if you pay a separate cable subscription and don't watch BBC at all you still need to pay for the TV License

About £150 per year. Whatever the fuck that is in $$$.

It doesn't provide you with any service, you have to arrange that separately. All it does is give you the "right" to watch live tv programs (i.e. watch them as they are being broadcast as opposed to catch-up or on-demand services like Netflix).

There is no excuse for it.

Bullshit. They have no right to enter your home. Even the police have no right to enter your home. Tell them to fuck off. Record any interaction. Shut the door.

install a water blast system on the porch guys. easy money.

That's what I did and what most people do. But they'll send you threatening letters and keep visiting forever to try and bully you into paying

that's pretty fucked mates.

so do you all watch live TV without it?

also why wouldn't you come up with a $20 piece of inline hardware that delays all live broadcasts by 10 seconds and sell that shit to everyone?

The TV licence is just a form of trivially low level taxation that can (at least in principle) be considered to fund the UK British Broadcasting Corporation, so that it can operate completely free of any need to be beholden to any financial pressures of wealthy companies that might attempt to skew programming and news reporting etc. in their own favour.

All mine arrive addressed to "The Occupier" and go back in the post marked as "Not known at this address".

I watch live tv without it but then I'm a fucking rebel mate!

>also why wouldn't you come up with a $20 piece of inline hardware that delays all live broadcasts by 10 seconds and sell that shit to everyone?
I think you overestimate our abilities as Britbongs.

>also why wouldn't you come up with a $20 piece of inline hardware that delays all live broadcasts by 10 seconds and sell that shit to everyone?
It also covers recorded live TV which that would fall under

That's harassment. Letters are letters...bin them. If they continue to turn up on your doorstep, write to them saying you are feeling harassed. If they do it again, ask the moron on your doorstep for his name, contact police, explain what is happening. Always record any interaction. Remember you don't have to let anyone in your home unless they have a court order or its the police who believe they have reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed or to prevent a crime. Even then, the police often need an inspectors go ahead. TV licencing are private companies not the police.

I mean I'm seriously disappointed in you guys and I have Donald J Trump as my president.

Attached: disgust.jpg (965x607, 67K)

People did do that but the rules got changed to cover it. It's more complex now but it's still doable.

Not all fries are chips nor are chips ... fries. If there not irregular and looks like big chips of potatoes then they're not chips. If they look like McDonald's fries then they're just fucking fries.

Also the only thing you need on fish and chips is malt vinegar. Tartar is ok. Ketchup is shit.

Are you eating chips without a chips eating license?

Salt and vinegar you non britfag

>I have Donald J Trump as my president.
We've got this guy running things now who isn't much better than Trump

those fuckers tried to get me all the time in switzerland and germany. Peaking in the window, pounding on the door, etc.

I just always shut my blinds before I went to work and when I was home I had a motion alert camera on the driveway so I could always hide everything and pretend i'm not home until they go away. Fuck off, you're not getting my money. I can't even understand the words on the tv.

Just had a quick look to see what licenses I need to open a chip shop.

next time tell him you have & shut the door
they can't do shit about it & will be SEETHING

Just tell them to come back later, preferably after Eastenders has finished.

I ain't clicking that shit user, they'll find out I have interweb net access

>implying you could get approved for a tomato license

Yeah, more rich law breakers and less big brother style CCTV bullshit too.

And op, tell the TV license guy to go away and shut your curtains. Read up how to mugbthem off and stand your ground with full knowledge of your rights. They'll call the filth if you don't comply and they will turn up but you won't be arrested and they can't do shit, it's legal intimidation.

Alright but have fun with Mohammed and that TV license

Yeah kinda cry babies. It’s 100F+ in Nevada rn

Fuck me,top answer/reply!!
Awesome!!
I salute you,Sir.

have fun with that free healthcare
oh wait

That’s what i thought,until i was arrested.

Can only get arrested if you actually break the law by watching TV without a license. Who the fuck watches TV in 2019?

Really? Did that myself,got arrested/detained for it.
Count yourself ever so fortunate.
Not an easy mess to extricate oneself from,trust me.

If you're not a broke nigger healthcare in the US is 10X better than abroad. In places like UK and Italy they cut off a limb instead treating/removing a tumor...

I know the consequences of such a serious crime but I'm a risk taker, user. I can do the time. Don't worry about me. Fight the fight.

They don't arrest you they just give you a fine

>Just had a TV License Officer at my door nagging me to come in and make sure I haven't been watching TV without a license.
First I ever heard of this and I seriously thought this was a meme, like no way this is real. Fuck me, guess what? They even had party vans in the 50s!

They pretend to still have magical TV detecting machines that can tell if you're watching BBC content but it's all bullshit

Thats what i explained (i don’t actually have a TV) and was arrested/detained for the pleasure,on my doorstep.

If only they had afforded me that luxury.

It’s is bullshit...it is literally just a work van...it’s different now though with sky...they can tell if you have a TV by that. They also send out letters to your address if you aren’t registered as having a licence in the hope you pay them. It’s fucking tax after tax on fucking everything

What were you actually arrested for? The charge?

Lying on the internet.

Serious question, Are Brits finally growing balls? It seems like Brexit and Boris are you guys telling the establishment to fuck off

We didn't vote for Boris. Though I would have.

No way that's real. You'd have to be legit retarded to steal someone's tools and claim they are dangerous people with dangerous weapons

England and Britain are not the same. England is one country that makes up the British Isles or, if you prefer Great Britain. Otherwise known as the United Kingdom.

Kek

They aren't raiding peoples garden sheds, they find that shit on kids or hidden by kids in bushes, chavs legit try to use that shit as weapons, it's not like they can buy guns at the corner shop like american kids can

Lol I have a job

Oi... you have a permit to complain?

Politically they're the same. Scotland and Northern Ireland are just England's bitches and have to do whatever the English say.

Idk if you’re exaggerating or retarded. First of all those aren’t weapons. If you confiscate that a child can find a new pointy stick in about 2 minutes. And you can’t buy a rifle until you’re 18 and a handgun until 21.

‘How do we know you don’t have one in the loft/at a friends house?’ was their reasoning.
You can’t do fuck all.
Believe me.

See

I recieved a letter thru the door saying im under investigation for no tv license. I was watching shows at the library and dl them with my usb. The security there would sit behind me to see what I was doing.

You heard wrong. There is currently no king.

...

The police, I mean her majesty's police man officer arrested you! A cop dragged you to van, in handcuffs from your home? I don't believe you! Not having a TV licence is not a charge! What did the magistrate say? What did your solicitor say?

You engaged in conversation? Your post is Kafkaesque! You were presumed guilty. It's like have the old bill arrest anyone on suspicion of anything. It doesn't work that way. The police need evidence. What's to stop the police from walking into anyones home and arresting them for possession of heroin for example? Even some old granny.

This nigga fileting chicken and fish with a spoon

True and straight.
Checked.

Is it true that even straight guys eat faggots?

Pic relqted is a game? Name?

Yeah I just had the TV license thing when I got my own place a few months ago, luckily I just said I don't have a TV and don't watch live TV and haven't heard a word about it

Boris wasn't voted. Boris was elected by the establishment. And Britain hasn't been a democracy in years. A commission found that British electoral laws are ill-equipped and unsuited for maintaining a democracy, in the wake of the cambridge analytrica scandal that caused both Brexit and Trumps election.

Yeah... People here can't buy booze until 18, guess what...

Nope, nor does he have an internet permit. Or a breathing permit.

You're prepared for heat, living in a desert and all that. Youd fold like a hot Mars bar if you had months of drizzle, lead grey skies and chilly mornings like us Brits endure!

Did you ask him why the penguin on top of your set hasn't exploded yet?

Bollocks. It's to pay for the BBC.

That i did,to explain there was no TV in my property.
Nope,handcuffed and i walked.
No it’s not,but,if they don’t believe you,you have to prove it.
No problem,i don’t have a TV in my property.
‘Pop over anytime to check’ says i...
Magistrate mulled it over.
Barrister defended well.
Fined,case dismissed.
Don’t ever,ever,ever,fuck with BBC boys & girls.
Trust me.
They still,as per court ruling,have right of entry,at anytime,to check,for the next 2yrs.

the BBC is bollocks, they pay presenters way too much. Like the hosts of top gear made.

You haven't said what they charged you with. You were fined for what? You didn't have a TV! So you didn't need a TV licence. It like getting done for drink driving when you haven't been driving. They didn't prove you were watching TV. Who arrested you? Your story doesn't make sense. If they have right of entry, does that mean they can force entry? What if you move? The BBC don't do the prosecuting. They farm it out to private companies. I reckon you're a shill.Too many questions.

user must have invited them in?

Exactly. Anons story has too many inconsistencies.
