How did the Brits ever get to this point? I can say with absolute certainty that if some pasty-faced bureaucrat was trying to break into my home to go inspect my personal property I would walk in my house, grab my gun then try and goad him to walk over the threshold so I could murder him.
What the fuck happened to you, Britbongs?

I pay my TV license and genuinely enjoy most of the BBC's programming. I also don't have to sit through advertisements whilst watching it.
Eat shit and die, Americans. Only you would joke about murdering someone who is only doing his fucking job.
Disgusting.
as disgusting as continuing to worship living gods ruling through divine right or is it less disgusting?
>genuinely enjoy most of the BBC's programming
>defending this trash
>ever
C U C K
I’m fucking dead bong, keep living on Sup Forums while your country burns irl. Have fun with the 50000 mutt memes tho, that’ll show me
>Eat shit and die, Americans. Only you would joke about murdering someone who is only doing his fucking job.
take a chill pill lmao
...
I watch nothing on the BBC.
I maybe watch something occasionally on channel 4. So why the fuck should I be forced to pay for something I don't use?
>I also don't have to sit through advertisements whilst watching it.
Like Netflix, Amazon, Sky on Demand, Virgin on Demand and every other fucking provider?
I don't get it, why isn't this handled like cable? If you want to watch it, you pay them then they physically give you access. If you don't pay, then you can't watch it. Why the fuck is it just given to everyone if its meant to be paid for? Are bongs too retarded to implement selective broadcasting?
Funny thing is I don't actually own a television or watch tv. I don't netflix or stream tv/movies either. Computer meets my needs with vidya and shitposting.
The solution is to have the BBC channels encrypted and only license payers can access the content.
This solution should be made mainstream. The BBC will be bankrupt overnight if this "solution" was enforced by the government, and all the BBC gravy train employees will lose their jobs.
I think broadcast television used to be free in the UK like it is everywhere else.
Imagine if your car had a AM/FM tuner and you had to pay a yearly $100 tax in addition to other taxes on your car. Would you remove your radio reciever? I might.
I thought of that after I posted it, but if that's true, then why don't they just encrypt the signal and hand out decrypter boxes to the people that pay like cable?
I said we don't own a TV (which we don't), with it very much implied that anything other than a polite apology would result in the door being shut in their face.
And now thinking more, I think its probably because they know they'd make less money doing it the correct way then they do bullying money out of people. Why is government always universally shit?
because people wouldn't pay for the BBC and would watch the free channels instead. (or buy cable).
Taking the car radio analogy, it would be that the $100 tax is only for NPR, but you still had to pay the tax if you never listened to NPR.
its a trap .. the bbc sucks their brains out

>that if some pasty-faced bureaucrat was trying to break into my home
As much as TV licensing is a load of bullshit, they're not law enforcement and they can't set foot into your property without your permission.
Then what the hell were they doing in that video? There was a cop (if that pimply-faced teenager really was a cop) and he was watching the bureafag and his tattooed goon trample all over that guy's front yard.
To do that, they have to go all the way through the legal system to get a warrant and be escorted by a police officer. It's a disgusting waste of taxpayer's money, but it's really not something that normally happens.
BBC has always been license funded.
That's a bailiff, because the recording wog was a fucking retard. You either pay your license or completely ignore any demands. Mr. Wog at some point fucked up and acknowledged that he should be paying, at which point it became a debt collection matter.
But the entire point of that video was that the buerafag did not have a valid warrant, it was not signed by a judge, it was back-dated, etc. The cop had no idea what was going on.
>Some information regarding TV detection technology was revealed as part of a freedom of information request made to the BBC in 2013, which included details of a search warrant. The warrant revealed that a BBC contractor had used an "optical detector" to reveal the possible presence of a TV.[10] The warrant stated that: "the optical detector in the detector van uses a large lens to collect that light and focus it on to an especially sensitive device, which converts fluctuating light signals into electrical signals, which can be electronically analysed. If a receiver is being used to watch broadcast programmes then a positive reading is returned." [10] The BBC stated that this was strong evidence that a set was "receiving a possible broadcast".
And therefore they didn't get into the property.
>I enjoy the BBC
Dumb faggot
...
...
those faggot are forced to pay the kikes and muzzies to propagandize them
its pathetic
This unironically sounds like an ancap meme after a television conglomerate achieved monopoly.
Jesus tell me this isn't real.
BBC is a particularly revolting organization. Basically, they hire a collection agency which mostly sends out threats by mail (when I lived in the UK, I used to receive those; and this is not an acceptable way to treat people), and occasionally sends out some thugs (criminals and other trash) to spy on people.
The thing is: most people watch TV and pay, and most of those who do not pay, do this illegally, so there are few honest people willing to point out how awful BBC is.
>I pay my TV license and genuinely enjoy most of the BBC's programming.
Of course you do cuck.
>Black Friar Tuck
Oh fucking come on
The ads are unfortunately real, but the organisations behind them are thankfully completely fucking incompetent. It's 99% all talk.
>they send armed officers for fucking TV licences
Fucking hell m8. It won't be long before they get sick of the youtube/netflix/etc loop hole, then they'll come up with a new license. Sort your shit the fuck out, bongs.
Entertainment is now mandatory?
Keep getting walked on bitch nigga.
>How did the Brits ever get to this point?
At least the bongs have a chance of weaseling out of it. In cuckistan funding for the CBC comes right out of your federal taxes. Which is one reason why I pull off every deduction in the book, but I always get reassessed every October. It's a fun game.
>No commercials
Hmm.. Sounds pretty good, but it's only for BBC huh?
>genuinely enjoy most of the BBC's programming
I use to like it back in the late 80's and 90's, then it turned to complete fucking lefty trash. You can't even watch any documentary these days without them slipping in some global warming shit, no matter how unrelated it is to the show.
Agreed. It wasn't that bad when they were actually producing quality non-degenerate TV.
I'm literally shaking.
What a horrible world we've created.
Take the next step and don't watch anything, ever.
internet is already hugley over priced and regulated in UK. you cant buy more than a certain amount of data month'
I would fucking hate to live in the uk , id rather live in poland or slovakia
I hope you're joking and is not actually that retarded.
>internet is already hugley over priced and regulated in UK
lel
>you cant buy more than a certain amount of data month
They have to have unlimited plans in the UK, I refuse to believe it's that bad. I pay 90$/month for 60MB/s unlimited and I feel ripped off
>British privacy, autonomy and freedom for sale
>price: a fucking television program
topkek, m8
nope poland is actually comfy as fuck, but you western european arrogant faggot think everything east of germany is shit
Prove me it isnt
>you can fuck my wife for a Doctor Who rerun
>watching the electric jew
why would you do this?
> enjoy most of the BBC's programming
dumbass, pic related
>everything east of France is shit
Obvious fix
You'd have to go out of your way to find a limited one desu. Typically you've got a 50Mb tier and a 76Mb tier (FttC maxed out), costing you somewhere between £25-40/mo. If you've got FttH in the area it's FttH so it pretty much depends who's operating it, but they're always competing with FttC so they have to keep it attractive.

How many ISPs are you choosing between?
right? they fucking perfected that technology thirty years ago
these are the same people that allow gangs of fucking MUSLIMS own their streets and harass their people and rape their women. GTF out of here you fucks are SPINELESS.
I think it is about 30 pounds for adsl and 40 for "broadband". sky.com
Seems a bit more expensive than here, where for 40 Euro I also get TV.
>en.wikipedia.org
>The "Fish Licence" sketch on Monty Python's Flying Circus, aired in 1970, mentions a "cat detector van", a parody of the TV detector van.
i learn something new each day
Yes, this meme is three times as old as the average poster.
> where for 40 Euro I also get TV
They throw in a landline phone for my 90$, I don't think I use it more than once a month, but it's free so fuck it. I just torrent everything I watch, can't stand commercials.
Yeah, ISPs in Europe also like selling packages. In France and UK you also almost always get the landline. And in France not all ISPs would sell you internet without TV.
>uswitch.com
what a pile of shit., I can get 400 speed with 50 pounds
>that video
For the love of God nuke Britain
I picked central Edinburgh for a reason, they can't dig up the cobblestones or use overhead wires so there are no cable operators. That's as bad as it gets.
Again, how many ISPs.
ie. They looked through the window.
i'd just close the fucking door, nothing they can do then is there? nope.
They don't have the power to break into your home and you are not obliged to answer your door to them.
Very few companies can get a warrant to enter your home, council bailiffs for council un paid council tax can.
How about don’t answer the fucking door, or telling them to go the fuck away.
They don't have the 4th Amendment. That's why. In England, if you're wife isn't fucking a Muslim, the government will break into your home and provide her with one with whom to do so.
You're actually wrong there, it's much harder for them to get a writ for council tax than a TV fine. This is of course assuming you were stupid enough to not completely ignore the junk mail.
They don’t have a constitution or any rights in Britain. Cucks
Those are bailiffs, trying to collect on a court issued fine. TV licensing can't do shit unless you acknowledge there's a debt and then refuse to pay it.
I've got a pretty simple solution to that problem- bin your electric jew.
im pissing on the queen on my cad bucks for this post
but they can't get a warrant to enter your property for a TV license... They have no more fucking power than an internet service provider... Energy company's can enter your property but only to disconnect you and install a payment meter. TV license fags use scare tactics and they are allowed to try and bullshit their way into your house. The police are also allowed to lie, do some research on it.
exactly
and if you let them in, once inside then they have the power because you consent.
Take a look at those posts again.
No, they can enter through any unlocked means, and sometimes call a locksmith if they're really salty. These are fucking bailiffs making the entry, not the cop. The cop is just there to head off a fight.
Who even watches TV anymore lol
