In Britain, you have the freedom to opt out of paying for the public service broadcaster.
In your country, public service broadcasting is paid for by general taxation, which you are forced to pay.
I trust this silly little matter is settled and you realise Britain's system is far superior and respects liberty more so than your own.

>opt out of paying for the public service broadcaster.
That'll come as news to the hundreds of widows and nurses that fill up HMP Holloway
If the Beeb is so great, let's see someone here pay for my licence (not that I do. Ha!)

Lmao according to the beeb roman legions were filled with nigger centurions.
It's all pc shite these days

So what's the deal? Say you have a tv to use as a computer monitor, do you have to pay the license? Or say a projector that can take an HDMI?
If I dont pay my Sky bill i get a bill.
If I dont pay my TV licence fine, HMRC takes it direct from my bank.
They dont need to jail us anymore, they have access to our banks.
>>137405800
??? if you choose to opt out you're not allowed any form of live television.
I don't agree with the fee, the BBC is no longer impartial, it's left wing bullshit and it's getting tiresome.
Scrap it.

no it's live television and access to the BBC catch up service you pay for.
>>137405945
They have 2 goodish shows and the odd good documentary but otherwise the rest is shit

Yep, but you aren't legally obligated to provide access to your property to check. If they come to check the best thing to do is to say nothing, not even confirm your name, and close the door.

If you have a computer or if the TV features Digital TV, technically, yes. If it's a projector on it's own, no.

I thought the only way to get out of paying the TV tax was to let your kid stay at Savilles house?

Not true, you can send off a decleration that you do not watch television and if it all checks out they will exempt you for 2 years
Actually its live ANYTHING....including online you tube livestreams etc
Of course this means it has nothing really to do with he BBC licence fee perse, its just a form of voluntary tax...
>>137407643
This. I recently sent off a decleration that I haven't carried a butter knife in public and it only took three weeks to be approved
>>137405800
What?
