Don't pay it, don't bloody watch it but they can get fked if they think I'm going to voluntarily divulge my credentials. We've had two notes through the door saying somebody visited at about 2 pm.

Unfortunately for them, we're the working sort. We're out before 9 and back after 6. They once visited our last place while my missus was doing some lesson planning and marking etc, in the middle of the living room surrounded by papers, on a sunday!

He said, I'm from TV licence, you don't watch TV do you? The wife then said, no. She then gave him her name and off he went. We moved not long after that so we don't have to bother with that pish.

I don't see why a corporation, paid with my tax money from the Governmit, the EU and other licences/sales around the world, then demand I pay them £150 a year too. Do what everyone else does, make stuff that people watch and make revenue from advertising or whatever. Theft.

Because this is a thread on TV taxation?

All taxation is theft.

It's hard to get into all of that quote nest. I have a TV. I have three in my house! I even have some laptops, a tablet and there's some mobile phones. Does this mean I watch broadcast live TV (or BBC iPlayer)?

Imagine a world where people don't need to watch broadcast television, just try it. Perhaps try and go for a week, yourself, without watching broadcast TV. There are many other forms of entertainment you can access using a television.

You're making false comparisons again, I think Council Tax is a total rip off too, but I do use the services that this is supposed to be spent on. Another small difference is that CT is compulsory.

Notably, you referred to much of my previous post but not the part where I asked if you have accessed media without paying. Very telling.

And oh noes, the BBC may have to cut expenditure if fewer people paid to watch channels other than the BBC. Sounds a touch like market forces that doesn't it? Why should I be hounded and threatened into paying for a service I don't use, thus subsidising the drivel that you must need to survive.

I don't watch live TV in my house. Haven't done for the last 10 years at least.

Oddly, they don't send me letters. I feel left out now.

I have a home cinema setup but it doesn't include any sort of TV tuner.

I wonder how bnp72 thinks regarding private companies given police powers, clamping, issuing tickets etc.
