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!!

What?? I’m not “justifying” anything, I said the whole lot should be defunded!

I was too harsh I'm sorry. You did minimize it by saying its a tax and aus has it and so does the us. But we don't have fake ass vans driving around to scare people into buying a license for tv and neither do you. Cops pushing into peoples homes over this shit? Thats another level.
