they can't detect shit, it's a scare tactic

that is what I thought until I received this letter. it is no joke. we all must pay our share.

I haven't paid the TV license in 8 years. They can't do shit, if they knock on your door tell em to fuck off.

It's a scare tactic, you have 0 obligation to let them in. If they turn up refuse entry and they can't do shit

hope this shit isnt yours, that IM barcode has your address

this is how they get around driving up taxes now that you aren't in the EU.

It's literally £12.12 per month. The only people who don't pay are:

1) People who just want to 'fight the system'
B) People who are poor and/or on benefits

Just pay it, it's nothing and gives you slightly less hassle from the Government.

it's not a warrant, they don't have power of entry, very few groups in the UK do, not even the police have it by default, they still need a warrant

I got a letter like this, I told them to shove it up their ass and I haven't seen anything about it since

or y'know, people who don't need one and aren't cucks who pay for stuff that's not needed?

I prepaid for a year and got the parliament channel for free.

So you invented TV did you? You work in broadcasting? Probably not. You enjoy the service, pay the peanuts that they're asking for the privilege you poor bastard.

Pussy. Why would I pay for something I never use? The government can suck my dick.

>burger here
so wait is this a tax or a service fee?

so reading comprehension is not your strong suit then, I don't watch or use a TV so paying them for something I don't use or own is retarded

It’s half off if your are blind. I just googled this shit my sides are orbit.

I wonder what they'll try to tax next? Computer use? Smart phones? Internet connected appliances?

England is weird.

he will find you

fuck them CUNTS!!

Let them keep wasting money chasing up non-payers, it's all bollox anyway.

FUCK THEM CUNTS!!

Minge eating porn is illegal in England.

howe many channels you get

I never paid tv license because I didn't have TV. They wrote several letters to me and I said I don't watch live TV etc. even on my laptop, because I don't. They even threatened me with fines etc. so I said this all makes me very depressed etc. then they stopped.

Who tf watches tv in 2017?

YOU STEALING FROM ME!!!
THIS IS THEFT BOY!!!
WE'S GONNA LOCK YOU UP UNLESS YOU PAY UP ME 50 QUID!!!!

Licensing is when the government robs you of a right, then tries to sell it back to you

reminds me of those emails I get via. my ISP about my downloading, trying to scare me into contacting some company, revealing my identity, and giving them money.

Not op

76 plus radio stations.

I'm not sure if the license is for the BBC or all TV channels now, but if it's still just for the BBC, around 6.

bbc is run by a bunch of pedos, why would you want to fund that

>they can't detect shit
it is incredibly easy

Well I'm going to prison then

Never paid it and never had a letter/anyone come round asking for me to pay it

I honestly thought it was a myth

Even if they could. Would they be able to use it against you in evidence in court, surely it's illegally obtained?

still waiting on that visit they keep threatening me with in all them scary letters

Fun Fact.
You will never be imprisoned in the UK for owing money. Its the law.
That includes fines for things like motoring offences, failure to pay taxes, failure to pay TV licence etc etc.

What about your country anons?

Fact: You don't need a TV license if you only use the TV for watching pre-recorded or 'non-live' video and don't have an aerial/satellite connected that can receieve live broadcasts.

Fact: They can only gain entry with a warrant accompanied by a police officer.

Fact: Never reply to ANY letters and never phone them. This only confirms to them that someone lives there and since EVERYONE has a TV according to them you are just making yourself a target.

Fact: If anyone turns up at your address. Close door. Do not say anything.

Fact: Detector vans are empty and just used as a deterrent parked outside housing estates and public areas. They contain no equipmemnt. Everything is done using an address database these days.

Tip: Never leave your TV on view (close curtains/blinds).

I have never paid for this shit in my life and never will.

yeah its technically possible but i cant imagine its legal for these tv licensing people to go around trying to pick that shit up not to mention the fact that these signals could be coming from anything in the area and on top of it all the only way they could get you for it is if ur actually using this "illegal tv" at the exact moment they show up asking for dat sweet tv money

Its only when you spend any time in other countries that you realise the UKs television/radio is the best in the world.
Think Planet Earth, Human Planet etc etc
I

The Government isn't doing that though. The TV license is literally just a tax for watching state owned TV. Rather than make that money through income tax or other taxes, only those who wish to watch those channels pay the license.

Fuck you cunt.

And what the fuck is 1) then B) you retard.

The people who don't pay are the people who know you don't have to by law and that the licencing company are fucking bellends who threaten people with "legal" action to scare people who are "unaware" and "love the BBCs" dicks.

Never give in, don't et the fuckers in or say you have a TV set, or laptop or mobile phone, just ignore them or tell them to jog on and record them to intimidate them.

I am not on benifits, nor have I ever, I earn 40K a year, house, numious cars/motorbikes and never once paid these fuckers anything or will I ever. FACT.

Ignore your letters from these fuckers, they dont and cant detect shit.

You son are obviously a middleclass student and all you do is browse Sup Forums when your bored at night. Faggot.

What if you just own a computer monitor and don't watch TV?

Which channels are state owned?
Clue: none
If you’re thinking BBC then you’re incorrect

No one cares about his address

Lol. Being this mad about something so silly.

>Fact: You don't need a TV license if you only use the TV for watching pre-recorded or 'non-live' video and don't have an aerial/satellite connected that can receieve live broadcasts.
This has changed recently: You need a license to watch anything on iPlayer

>Fact: Detector vans are empty and just used as a deterrent parked outside housing estates and public areas. They contain no equipmemnt. Everything is done using an address database these days.
Don't know because I've never actually seen one. I do get the monthly bullying letter though.

Public owned then. Either way, if you want to watch it you need to pay for it

lol what a fake peice of garbage mock up.

nice trips guy

BBC is a statutory corporation. Statutory corporations are created by law and formally owned by the state (as in when they are dissolved, all liabilities go to the state)

So why don't they just slap a small tax on all TV's sold and call it a day instead of expecting people to pay this fee?

>muh success
>numious

they detect it is not showing TV programs?

Begrudgingly agree.
Amerifat btw

really? care to link that?

Not everyone who buys a TV watches the BBC on it.

Also you need to pay license to watch BBC programmes online on the iPlayer.

TV is not a right dipshit

Tax is paid only one, license fee is paid every month

My neighboar in the flat below gets those letters all of the time. They just go straight in the bin. iPlayer is only for 'near' live which iPlayer is capable of but they would have to prove it. In other words it's an empty threat like all their threats are.

They did it long before the we left the fucking EU

Holy fuck nuggets britfags you actually need a license to watch TV fucking many keks and you say the US is shit shitting fag balls this is fucking great do you also need a license to grow your hair out and microwave burritos. Ya got the blimy wanker bugger bobbies bashing down yer flat for "ILLEGAL SHOE OWNERSHIP" and not having a license to operate your tongue!!!! The fuck else you need limey brit figgy pudding pint o shag the queen for eh wot get thrown in the crimmy loo for not paying your "underwear taxes"

Do a lot of people actually pay the fee though? I'm a burger so I have no clue.

I'd rather rape the queen to death than give the bitches a fucking penny burn the fuckers kill britian muedsrbrjxiso a good idea for us though I appreciate you Parliament shitty two shoes bathe in the jizz wanker fag

Here in US it's called msnbc and no one wants it

UK TV shows don't get 25 minutes of adverts every 30 seconds.

I'm gonna burn Britain to the ground you fucking losers I don't know why china Russia and USA haven't overcome differences just to wipe you inferior sub human retards off the face of the universe yet

I'd stab meself in the twig an berries I would before that mate

Is this like using Kodi for pirate tv or something?

>be british
>pay tv license so non-commercial, high quality, non-editorialised news can be produced
>get this instead

Most people (sheep) do. You are forced 'by criminal law' to pay it and it's only because of one stinking company the BBC that it exists still. All other channels do not receieve any of the money. They all show adverts instead. I've always wondered what would happen if you had a TV that could not receieve the BBC but all the other channels. I'd love to see that in a court case. But it would never happen unfortunately as it would never see the light of day anyhow.

It's a huge scam to keep a decrepit company in business.

I am not a Brit but we have this license in my country as well (most of Europe has it btw.) and most people I know pay. I don't but I don't have a TV.

So if I just never pay how the fuck you gonna get your money bitch? Huh I just won't pay what faggot what you gonna rape me oh that's right you don't have penises what shoot me? Oh that's right you don't have guns what's that prison you cant do that either fuck no wonder your countries more in the shitter than USA fuck even as an america hating American I'd still stay here or move to Africa before I step one foot in your cloudy, wet, fascist, shit hole of a fart on humanity country

BBC / TV License got £3.4 billion this year
1 license = £140

the license covers tv and radio iirc

>tfw you don't watch live tv

Seriously, it's just garbage these days. I don't even have time to watch it.

What the fuck is this. I've never heard of this,

tvlicenceresistance.info/

Arm yourselves with knowledge

It reminds me of jury duty summons. Everyone takes them super seriously but mine just get tossed in the trash. It's an already ragged system with no ressources to spare, I'll be fine

In the UK, the BBC uses a subcontractor (Capita) to catch people who don't pay their TV license.
They used to have roaming "TV detector vans" as in OP's pic related.
These don't exist anymore.

even if you don't have a tv, you still need to be covered by a license if you use...


whats the rest??

the entire uk licensing system is retarded

That’s why you dvr the programming and skip the commercials.

...what the fuck is a TV license?

You need a license if you:
>watch or record live TV programmes on any channel
>download or watch any BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand

seriously, this feels like another 'fingerbox' or 'penis examination day' scam.

That's the most austistic shit I've heard ever.

these fucking cunts sent me a warning letter even though I had a license!

something about radio I think
I got one of those and binned it immediately

the way we fund the bbc

YOU MUST NOTIFY THEM THAT YOU DON'T WATCH TV. Then each year you have to inform them you still don't watch TV. Just reply to their email. Then they will never come to your door! I've not paid TV licence for 10 year, without a single fuck

poor UK reading Comp

It is real. If you watch anything live on TV or your computer / phone you must pay an annual fee.

The charge isn't by the government you fucking retard. You pay the TV licence to the BBC!!

>not living in the glorious united states where you don't have to pay a TV license fee

What if they find a knife when they come to serve your no tv license warrant?

This is the BBC HQ, London. This statue is above the main entrance. It's a pedo behind a naked child. The sculpture of this "Art" has been convicted of paedophilia and bestiality. This is what TV Licence Payers are funding...

It is free if you are over 75, but they have their hands in the British healthcare system, and try to make sure nobody lives that long. That is why private insurance I’ll illegal in the uk

Fuck off yank.

Do you need to pay a death tax when a Muslim kills a family member and you inherit things?

>2017
>watching tv
Did the internet go out in the uk?

Kek

>killing geezers so they can’t view free bbc
