Licence's
 

I was flicking through a local paper the other day (think it was the observer) and i was amazed at the amount of folk before the bench for tv licence evasion(half a page)

A quick search on youtube turned up loads of folk who when contacted by TVL company simply say go way(for a choice of better words)

c'mon be honest,how many folk pay these jokers? As you can prob guess i don't buy into there bull for 1min :D

Re: Licence's
 

We've been there discussed that, don't like the T'shirt you're wearing, (yawn), no doubt you can work the search button but can't be bothered.

Re: Licence's
 

Accyweb has prob discussed a whole range of subjects in the past less (yawn) ....Just answer the question if you can be bothered,i assume your a payer :rolleyes:

Re: Licence's
 

I pay for many thing's, (along with many others, I pay for this site), what's wrong with paying your way?

Why are you (only in your mind) cleverer than me because you don't pay?

Re: Licence's
 

cleverer than you :confused::confused: were have i said that? (assumptions)
i actually think you're quite intelligent sometimes even humorous :eek:

Nothing wrong with paying things in life (unless it's a bull**** licence you don't have to pay for)

I would pay to have people learn how to use apostrophes ...

Re: Licence's
 

Didn't a guy called Chris start a thread with this subject matter earlier this year? :confused::rolleyes:

At least with the BBC we don't get god awful TV adverts every 10 mins. Compare Eastenders to Corrie - you get much more for your money with Eastenders as it's a solid 30mins - Corrie is basically approx 2 - 12 minute segments.

he missed the H out of where rather than missing the ' out of we're...which would be wrong too because then he would be saying "we are have I said that?"

If you are such an anarchist, do you pay your rent/mortgage, council tax, utility bills etc? If not are you not very cold and living in a tent or squat? You have to be able to stand by your principles or they are meaningless.
In the eighties I did the poll tax protest to the point where I beat the bailiffs but was about to be sent to prison, by which time the poll tax had been withdrawn and I agreed to pay a nominal amount. I was protesting about a principle which I genuinely felt was wrong (but knew how far I was prepared to go, call me a coward for not following it through to the end but I cared more about my children's wellbeing.) I'm actually proud of the fact that I was part of overturning an unjust system.
I don't think that you can just not pay your TV licence because you don't want to, if you genuinely don't agree sort out a proper protest, don't rely on the people who appear in Court for non payment who usually have more personal rather than political reasons for non payment.
I think you may be looking for a cause to protest against which you have not found. You can't rebel for the sake of it.

Re: Licence's
 

My Tv often doesn't get switched for days on end and the few programmes I want to see I could watch later on my computer, so I am tempted to get rid of my TV and stop paying -

BUT I know that I would be harassed so am meekly paying up. I console myself that the fee also pays for Radio 4extra which I enjoy.

Re: Licence's
 

You don't need a TV licence if you don't watch live broadcasts. :D

Re: Licence's
 

I know, but they think all us housebound pensioners spend their days watching Jeremy Kyle:rolleyes:, so I would get pestered

Only another five and a bit years before you get a free one Marg!
