Licence's

Chris SUI JURIS · 12-10-2012, 14:30

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

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.

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?

cleverer than you

were have i said that? (assumptions)
i actually think you're quite intelligent sometimes even humorous

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 ...

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

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protest to the point where I beat the bailiffs but was about to be sent to prison, by which time the poll tax had been withdrawn and I agreed to pay a nominal amount.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.

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.

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