I like how the top comment on that is “Why the fuck do you need a TV license”....!

Mind you, we’re no better off here in Australia or you in the US. The point of the TV licence is to fund the BBC, it’s essentially just a tax. We pay taxes to fund public broadcasting and so do you. Complete bullshit, all needs to be defunded like YESTERDAY.

The irony is though, that the UK could likely avoid all the bad press of it by just doing like Australia and taking the funding out of general revenue... yet for some reason they don't want to do that??

I actually understand it completely. Did extensive research on the subject for a project. Also the propaganda you just spewed is exactly what they want you to think. It doesn't need to be enforced like this, if someone doesn't pay the tax, oh well you're still getting a ton of money to fund a network dedicated to the destruction of western civilization as we know it.

They don't need to be driving around in vans with detection equipment to scare people, putting up threatening signs, and pushing into peoples homes to check their fucking tvs!!!

How the fuck can you be here and try to justify that behavior?

Got to go, glad I checked in though Happy New Year you bastards!!

It's purpose was to build TV infrastructure in the '30s.

Most countries in Europe have a TV licence to fund public broadcasting.

We despise it but no government has had the balls to abolish it.

It gets worse. Go to youtube and watch these people try and often succeed in bullying into peoples homes to check their tvs and make sure they're not receiving broadcasts of any kind. I did a major project on this and for most americans it sounds like a joke when they first hear it. They actually used vans and this propoganda that the vans could detect if you were using a tv. Going back to like the 70s at least. They drove around these vans with all this monitoring equipment and antennaes to scare people into paying the tax.

Its almost time, here's to striving forward in the new year! Happy new year brothers.

Yep. It's been my fear that they didn't want out of the EU because it's commie, but because it's not commie enough
