We have public TV here, too. Last I checked Oscar and Big Bird can't come break my kneecaps because I didn't pay my TV license for a public television conglomerate.
Jonathan Hughes
I at least know PBS won't come to my house and demand I pay for their channel.
Isaac Walker
Wait, tv licenses are a meme, right? Aren't they?

is having bureaucrats climbing your walls to disconnect your tv sets a public service in the UK?

Whats the American obsession with tv licenses? Most countries in Europe have them in some way. They just get rolled into general taxation.

>taxed for owning a TV regardless of whether you actually use the service or not
Really ethical and entirely logical. So what, if I hooked up the BBC to display on my computer monitor I don't need to pay the license? Who the fuck watches broadcast television in the age of the internet anyway? Nobody.
Henry Ortiz
isn't the BBC 100% left wing?
why isn't there a big campaign by people like Nigel Farage to get people to cancel their tv license?
Ian Johnson
>REEE WHAT ABOUT GUNS THO?
Every time, every time a britbong gets triggered at the orwellian state his country is becoming, they all in one voice scream and shout
>WELL AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE GUNS!!!!!
Maybe if you had guns your government wouldn't have been made into the Brave New World-esque nightmare that it is right now. Instead:
>Gets door kicked in because television license expired
>Can't buy coke at store because coke is banned
>Gotta bin that spoon because chavs sharpen the metal
>And also, pic related.
Are you going to pitch your arms up, screaming and shouting about "AAAA WELL AT LEAST I CAN'T BUY EGGS AND FLOUR WITHOUT MY BAKERY LICENSE CHIP CHOP" because that's how fucking stupid you look to the rest of the world.
This is why we fucking make fun of you. Because you can't have these things, not that we can have those things.
Easton Brown
Not actually American, English isn't my first language.
Xavier Thomas
U AVIN A LAUGH, MATE?
AVIN SUM SORTA GIGGLE, MICK?
Oliver Carter
It isn't possible to cancel your TV license because the act of owning a TV license in britland requires owning it. No one is going to do that.
William Young
>paying taxes so the state can make a show where achillies is a nigger
Benjamin Bailey
TVs are how we find out about the weekly american school shooting and see just how brown they are. So they want us to stop buying them
Adam Ortiz
miss me yet britfags?
Landon Gray
"1984" wasn't supposed to be a manual, yer dumbfucks.
Gavin Perez
But doesn't your public TV come straight out of your taxes? As opposed to our TV licence which is 100% optional
Hudson Cruz
I'm autistic as shit and it was piss easy to do. It literally takes all of a minute to say no I don't watch any live TV, no I don't watch any iplayer stuff and I just use it for netflix/dvds and they cancel it and you get nothing from them again. It's also hilarious that people actually open the door to the inspectors when they have no legal right to come inside to inspect anything.
Aaron Ramirez
thats from 2007
how much does it cost in 2018?
Aaron Moore
That would actually be inaction, but you're too stupid to correctly articulate what you want to say.
Jaxson Brooks
Because it sounds goofy as fuck when isolated as a concept and it's easy to repetitiously shitpost about it.
>LMAO BUTTERKNIVES TV LICENSE MUSLIMS xD

Well done, bongs.
Camden Parker
at least bongs can decide, when have you cancelled your PBS-funding-subscription?
Oh right, you can't. LAND OF THE FREE.
James Morales
>Whats the American obsession with tv licenses?
It's seen as dystopian here to have a government agency that requires protection money for a service. To the extent that they'll go to your door to get it.
Most Americans aren't even comfortable with the IRS despite the fact they serve a needed role in society. The idea of someone coming to your door to check and see if you own a consumer electronic or not to the point where they will intrude on your property seems downright Orwellian.
>They just get rolled into general taxation.
Here it's viewer supported. Before every public radio and public TV broadcast we get a message that says "Public media is sponsored in part by viewers like you."
I think they get *some* tax money, but I'm not sure to the extent that they receive it. Donation drives take it way farther than taxation does.
Joseph Cooper

Tyler Diaz

Wyatt Garcia
>isn't the BBC 100% left wing?
You will view almost everything in the mainstream as left wing if you spend all your time on Sup Forums
BBC is fairly central, they give people like Farage arguably more of a platform than they deserve considering he was never even elected to parliament
James Rivera
Yeah but I don't need a fucking PC license just to own a PC for doing other shit now do I you dumb cunt? How fucking retarded do you have to be to miss the entire point of such a simple analogy? Did your mother mistake you for a fly swatter when you were an infant?
Nathaniel Gomez
>at least bongs can decide
suuure you can
Sebastian James
But the Brits get a news channel that is required by law to be balanced and unbiased. BBC News is required to present both sides. Unlike FoxNews who had to drop their "We Report. You decide." slogan because everybody would snicker or laugh out loud whenever they hear that slogan/claim of theirs.
I'm only talking about their NEWS channel here and NOT the entertainment/show channels. Those channels are another discussion.
Anons bawwwwing over "propaganda being forced down our throats" are just triggered when confronted with facts and truths they can't refute. They want "news" channels that provide them their safe-bubble of fake news to prop up their biases.
Isaiah Garcia
fucking hell, spat out my tea
Ryan Russell
>But doesn't your public TV come straight out of your taxes?
No, it's viewer supported. Public TV and radio here relies on donation drives.
All of our public TV and Radio bumpers look like this:
youtube.com
because without contributions, they would be finished. They have no taxation base that's worth mentioning as they are a nonprofit (which is the biggest tax contribution they receive is their status as nonprofit and educational organizations)
Daniel Reed
>BBC is fairly central
Leo Jenkins
only a portion of PBS is taxpayer funded
That's why they have semi-annual pledge drives to beg for donations
Brody Flores
It's not state propaganda. The BBC News service is required by law to present both sides of an issue.
Zachary Rogers
>lel moving goalposts ahmed?
Henry Bell
...
David Clark
It's a public service provided for those who wish to get news from a news service that is required by law to be unbiased and required to present both sides of an issue.

Not him but this is a strawman. Isn't BBC that agency that contributes heavily to diversity campaigns in both public and private media?
opendemocracy.net
Why yes, yes it is. In fact they spend billions on this. They spend billions on pushing political agendas in their programming.
I don't see how you can call that 'fairly central'. Even our public media, which relies on little to no public funding, is far more centrist than your BBC.
Wyatt Harris
Because it's not normal to have the government police their citizens for some dumb tax, sending officials to homes to invade and hanging up scary billboards when you can just fucking tax people for it like in a normal country
Why the fuck do they handle it like a bunch of anal faggots, the cost of hiring all these people to spy on people for fucking TV LICENSES can surely be spent better on something else, if you just put it under some generic tax nobody will even notice that you're taxing them for national television and you'll save a couple of tens of millions in advertising and employees
Asher Young
neither do you need a TV license if you don't use your TV to watch live television programs
Evan Scott
Totally newsworthy. Quality journalism right here.
Colton Butler
maybe britfags should worry less about tv licenses and more about being killed by nerve agents
Owen Thompson
The BBC beam their shit out over the airwaves and then say anyone who has the capability to detect those beams has to pay them, regardless if they even watch or wanted the channels.
Could I do this? Just broadcast something or set up a shit website and then say anyone with a tv or access to the internet has to pay me?
Joseph Butler
Laws are just words. It's propaganda.
Jonathan Jenkins
Really hits the spot, high quality investigative reporting this is.
Jason Jones

Jaxson Taylor

Gabriel Hill
yeah what i did is fucking actually take action and ring the number they print on the letter they give you that says "if you don't need a TV licence please ring and tell us" so i did that and no more letters no more calls boom easy
i actually didn't watch TV as well by the way, i just straight up did not, still don't
William Price
they don't have to go to your house. it's taken from your taxes. if you don't pay your taxes then the us government comes after you.
Sebastian Turner
>BBC News is required to present both sides.
And how is that working out?
cps.org.uk
Oh right, terribly.
Any publicly funded venture will trend toward serving as the state's mouthpiece. History has shown that time and time again and your station is no different.
How is black Achilles working out for you, by the way?
Hunter Howard
>The idea of someone coming to your door to check and see if you own a consumer electronic
This never happens though, all TV license stuff is just scare tactics that most people laugh at for being so silly. Americans seem very easily spooked and willing to believe everything is turning Orwellian
Jackson Bennett
Would love to have my taxes fund this
Sebastian Nelson
This.
State sponsored media is always fair and objective, if only all private entertainment companies would give the state control over their product we would be rid of propaganda.
Jason Price
