Is this why they’re always complaining about Americans? They’re so assblasted about having to pay for a TV license to watch slop they vent by focusing on an objectively freer country that they leach off of?
i don't know a single person that actually has one, there's no need in this era, only the most insufferable brainlets subject themselves to the utter brainrot that is public television
All governments have their own state-funded broadcast networks.
It's just so fricking ridiculous that UK has people going around checking to see if you have a TV so they can fine you if you didn't pay your loicense.
Just make it state funded and get rid of those V for Vendetta spies.
They don’t, that was a lie they spread to make people more likely to capitulate.
Their “checking” is in the form of sending letters to any address that doesn’t pay and hoping they crack. One guy has a site where he puts up all the letters he’s got as proof it means frick all.
technically if you have any device that can connect to iPlayer (including phones), TVs, anything....
Maybe you can argue that you don't have an antenna, no internet and that you only watch dvd/blurays
This is complete bullshit >You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch TV channels live on any TV service or streaming service - such as ITVX, Channel 4, Amazon Prime Video, Now or Sky Go. You don't need a TV Licence if you only ever watch on demand programmes on any TV service apart from BBC iPlayer*.
No. I've got 3 TVs and 4 monitors, and I don't have to pay it because I don't watch live TV or use BBC iplayer. Those are the only reasons anyone would need to pay for a licence.
The only way people get caught is usually some Norf FC types blasting the World Cup games live from their front room with the window open during summer. Then one of the 2 actual TV licence checkers can just gather evidence of something clearly live being broadcast without having to enter your property. Most of their budget is spent on sending out letters to scare old ladies into paying for it.
I had a TV licence man come round once, about 10 in the morning. I was in my dressing gown and I'm sure he could hear the telly on in the background. I told him I don't have a TV. He said he didn't believe me and could he come in for a second to check? I said no. He asked why. I said I'm having a private party and he's not on the list. He got very angry and said he'd come back with the police. I said just come back after the party's finished but he was already storming off. He never came back with the police.
The UK's system is actually better because other countries pay for public broadcasting by taxes which apply whether you watch TV or not, the UK only charges people who watch TV.
Americans get confused and think it's something like a gun license.
Not only does it not say that, the video contradicts this and says you need one for watching live Youtube videos. The act says you are liable if you have a tv "installed".
Sorry, let me help you with your reading comprehension. It says this: > If you’re watching live TV, you need to be covered by a TV Licence: if you’re watching TV channels on any TV service or streaming service
See how it says "watching"? See how it doesn't mention anything about capability, or even direct ownership of a TV?
I'll even help you out further, seeing as you seem to be a zoomer incapable of doing your own quick research. >No. You don’t need a TV Licence if you only use your TV for gaming or DVDs. That’s as long as you never watch TV channels on any TV service, watch live TV on streaming services, or use BBC iPlayer*. On any device. >https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ15
Want to keep playing this game still, or are you going to stop being a silly c**t?
All you have to do is stop paying it, they just send you the same letters constantly and never do anything about it. If you're one of the few people they send the goons to see, you just tell them to frick off because they have no legal power. It's the easiest thing in the world to avoid paying.
you shouldn't bother, that anon, likely american, will just ignore you then show up to the next thread posting about how we have to have a license for simply owning a tv, regardless of how many times this is plainly shown as false, regardless of how many actual brit anons will post telling them he is false, they just don't care to hear it they like to think we HAVE to pay, it amuses them, while they are ignorant of the fact, or conveniently ignore that they actually have to pay through their taxes whether they own a tv or not
We don’t need a gun license you bong homosexual. We just a driver license/ID. Sad it’s easier to buy a gun in America than watch TV in the UK, truly a cucked nation.
My country's state funded tv channels are decent. They do have some shitty things, but they also produce educational programs and also show classic and art movies that you wouldn't see on private channels that are 99% slop.
>britoid movie >main character getting questioned in his home by the police >questioning finishes and cop about to leave >glances at the tv >"oi you got a loicense for that?" >jump cut to jail cell doors slamming shut on main character

If you ever watched a Crimebodge clip you will see that they don't have to bother, they just accuse you of "causing offence" and drag you to the station. UK cops are unarmed but they are the biggest c**ts anywhere.
>We shouldn't allow hordes of migrants because they are violent low IQ people incompatible with our values and way of life >Paki immediately fantasizes about being a violent low IQ moron and being incompatible with their host countries way of life
How is this in any way a refutation of anti-immigrant stance?
He chose that date because chances are the incumbent is going to get curb stomped, both by the opposition and a minor party, and having that happen on a day most people associate with an American holiday is probably going to lead to less bullying
This is the first time there's been an election in July in over 100 years. The current PM called it as a surprise because literally nobody expected a July election. Most commonly they're held in May or June to coincide with local elections, less commonly in Winter.
Better than here in Finland, they changed loicense into a tax that you can not avoid paying. The "ceo" of our state media makes 400k+ a year with zero responsibility and their budget has inflated to well over 500M€ per annum. The whole place is filled with people doing nothing ans getting paid way more than me (code monkey in private sector).
>The whole place is filled with people doing nothing ans getting paid way more than me (code monkey in private sector)
YLE employs a lot of code monkes and they absolutely don't get paid more than you. And the C-tier executives at your firm get paid way more than you.
i doubt the pay is worth the stress that comes with the job. you're probably pressured into getting results or risk losing your job, which would involve entering people's homes to confirm they have a TV, most people are just going to aggressively tell you to frick off, leaving only the elderly as your victims, which will weigh down on your morals. i'd suspect they have a short probationary period where they assess your performance, and if you're unable to get any results within that time they let you go. only the scummiest of people are able to perform well in that type of job.
There wss an interview with one of these people a few years ago as assaults were on the rise, he literally believed he was trying to help people who didn't have a license and couldn't understand why he wss getting daily abuse lol
good, the enforcement goons are all lying scum, they will say complete bullshit to try and trick you or be intentionally vague
they deserve to be hunted down in the streets, they are absolute parasites
Its just a tax you only need to pay if you watch public tv or use BBC's online streaming services. Americans on the other hand need to pay for PBS even if they don't own a tv
PBS is the definition of "doing more with less." They're only partially government-funded and solicit voluntary private donations to make up the difference. As a result, PBS's programming is ubiquitous because they make shit people actually want to see without being beholden to advertising. This also allows them to acquire the best of the shows that Britbongs beta test for us on the cheap. They're not a behemoth like the BBC because they don't have to be - as a result, everyone in America is familiar Arthur, This Old House, and Nova, while no one in the UK has heard of BBC shows like Jimmy Carr's Six and a Half Sharts or Dr. Who But Now She's Black and Autistic
I will never get the whole brit loicense thing.
Why would you send people to check if people own a TV and ask them to pay? Just make it so you cannot watch the BBC like they do with private cannels where you have to pay in order to have access.
I don’t use a tv and don’t have a license it’s not forced on you.
There’s no commercials on bbc so they obtain funding this way. It made more sense in the olden days when tv was more of a public service that kept you informed and entertained with good faith content.
No way in hell would I help find the filth and historic revisionism they pump out now though.
The British, through advanced naval conquest, almost once conquered most of the world. Nations would tremble at the might of their empire. Now they need a license to use the smibbly bibbly to change the channel to whatever bbc chan is showing the latest troon program.
Times change. Just think, Germany used to be considered evil for wanting to take over Europe, and now they've... taken over Europe, but it's a good thing now.
>muh Germany
They have the biggest economy in the EU, but they're impotent and are are flooded by immigrants beyond belief. They're hardly ruling Europe.
Just look up what percentage of world GDP was made in Europe during the time of Queen Victoria to today. From over 60% to under 20%. Europe has become over regulated and under productive. The Great War was Europe collectively committing suicide in the fields of the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele

hardly anyone here in glorious Ireland pays the 160 euro charge cause everyone knows RTE is a complete perpetually scandal-ridden joke that not only doesn't make content and just steals shit from BBC but also relies on youtube-tier advertising (which a public broadcaster is fundamentally not meant to do)

>every single country has state run media >state run media is paid for with taxes >most countries do not give an option to pay for it or not like the UK
And you brain dead homosexuals will still keep posting this for the rest of your life.
Some countries are taxed at point of purchase of a TV. I'd say the UK has it quite good considering you can just refuse to pay it. US has it in taxes but it's like $12. Fricking nothing.
TV licence people are unlikely to ever visit you and if they do they are just mooks contracted by Capita and have no actual power
If they ask to inspect you just say no and there's nothing they can do
Why does the UK get memed on so much for this? Plenty of other countries force you to pay a licence through your taxes so you don't even have a choice regardless if you watch TV or not
Americans only know like 5 countries outside of their own. Canada and mexico are their borders, they vaguely remember something about the uk from history class, and the news tells them about russia or china.
I have never paid for a TV license and I watch iplayer and live TV whenever I want
I've never had a gay little 'inspector' come round (but have always wanted to so I can abuse the pathetic wagie c**ts), all I get is threatening letters that I just dispose of
I feel bad for amerimutts who are forced to pay for their public broadcaster (PBS and NPR) through general taxation that they can't avoid, unlike me and my fellow britbongs
you didn't read it
the license doesn't apply to physical tvs
it applies to the broadcast, the video, that's why it says "tv, computer, or other device"
You need to have a certain percentage who are willing to pay for it or you will end up like us in Finland where they just made it into a tax that raises with your income.
Why would you willingly choose to watch anything on the BBC? Are you trans?
I have three televisions and none of them are plugged into an aerial because I wouldn't watch that shit if you paid me.
I'm always torn on the tv license. On the one hand, I feel that this opt-in method is the way that taxes should work in general. On the other hand, I like making fun of british "people."
i don't even do that, i don't respect the institution and i wont bend to its rules, im not putting my name in their database, they still can't do shit, they send letters, maybe the send goons but I've never encountered them, I've never paid a licence or declared myself as not needing one, and nothing has happened
that's a meaningless letter
if you ignore them they send you that, it says you MAY be charged IF you are found to be watching tv
ignore it and you will get another telling you that you still haven't responded so they will be going ahead with the investigation, ignore it some more and you will receive more of the same, continue ignoring it and one day you will get a letter in a red envelope saying much the same, ignore it again and then you get a normal one in a normal envelope saying we have no record of a tv licence at this address plz respond, and the cycle starts fresh
they literally can't do a thing of you completely ignore them, don't engage their goons if they come to your door simply ignore them and they cant do a thing, people only get 'caught' because they mouth off and the goons call the police to force their way in or you're a moron thats watching tv Infront of your open curtains and they see you
never engage with them and they have no power

No, NPR and PBS in the states are always begging for voluntary donations from listeners/viewers.
Thats not true, and the us government literally pays the bbc aswell to spread propaganda on its world service. So you're literally paying for our tv.

no, but it is publicly-owned for historic reasons that no longer make sense
No, but you need the loicense to watch regardless
>her penis
The UK holding a General Election on the US Independence Day.
The US holding a Presidential Election on the UK's Bonfire Night.
In which remembers when some nutter tried to blow up the UK's leaders.
Imagine paying a TV loicense just for it to find woke garbage like Dr Who
>You will pay for the softcore interracial porn
And the redcoats give us shit lol
oy you gawt a loicence for that loicence, bruv?
>britain
>little girls are systematically raped by muslim invaders
>*silence*
>nigel writes in a message "I'm not ashamed to be white"
>3 minutes later ten police officers burst down his door and he's sentenced to 4 years in prison for hate speech
>lowest tv tax in europe
>only britain gets mocked
Is this meme by yanks who have no clue about europe?
UK is the only relevant country in europe culturally speaking (part of being history's protagonist)
They don't know anything about the rest
True, the average american had to be shown where serbia and ukraine is on the map and told why the hell they should care lol
80% of Americans wouldn't be able to point out USA on a map.
they're the only ones who seem serious about it
dunno the actual figures but hear brits pay it at a higher % than most other euro countries that have a similar public broadcaster system
hardly anyone here in glorious Ireland pays the 160 euro charge cause everyone knows RTE is a complete perpetually scandal-ridden joke that not only doesn't make content and just steals shit from BBC but also relies on youtube-tier advertising (which a public broadcaster is fundamentally not meant to do)
>I heard
By whom lol, it's one of the lowest
It varies. If you include all countries it's middle of the road. The price has increased since 2019 however the other comparisons don't include all.
Hardly anyone in UK pays for the license either.
HRH herself just burst in on me on the bog having a shit demanding to know if I've paid my loicense and unleashed an army of corgis on me before I could say I indeed had
>every single country has state run media
>state run media is paid for with taxes
>most countries do not give an option to pay for it or not like the UK
And you brain dead homosexuals will still keep posting this for the rest of your life.
add to that all brits have to do is fill out a form saying they don't own a tv and they dont send anybody round
>open BBC iPlayer
>popup asks "do you have a TV licence"
>click "yes"
>actually don't
SOMEBODY STOP ME
Some countries are taxed at point of purchase of a TV. I'd say the UK has it quite good considering you can just refuse to pay it. US has it in taxes but it's like $12. Fricking nothing.
There is no reason to ever pay for a TV licence.
TV licence people are unlikely to ever visit you and if they do they are just mooks contracted by Capita and have no actual power
If they ask to inspect you just say no and there's nothing they can do
>as they're broadcast
So Netflix and other streaming shit is excluded? Piracy too, by definition.
Why does the UK get memed on so much for this? Plenty of other countries force you to pay a licence through your taxes so you don't even have a choice regardless if you watch TV or not
Americans only know like 5 countries outside of their own. Canada and mexico are their borders, they vaguely remember something about the uk from history class, and the news tells them about russia or china.
one in particular they love funding you omitted
>Bongs need a license to watch BBC
And listen to the radio
>24,740 is slightly less than 14,205
at least japan has shit worth watching
like bikini girls wearing samurai armor and then getting oiled up as they explain the history of the armor
Japan isn't real, stop believing everything you see in animes.
europe is such a shit hole
>programmes
jfc, you homosexuals can't even spell your own language
Muslims are exempt. Its only those 2nd tier UK citizens that need one lol
I have never paid for a TV license and I watch iplayer and live TV whenever I want
I've never had a gay little 'inspector' come round (but have always wanted to so I can abuse the pathetic wagie c**ts), all I get is threatening letters that I just dispose of
I feel bad for amerimutts who are forced to pay for their public broadcaster (PBS and NPR) through general taxation that they can't avoid, unlike me and my fellow britbongs
Reported to HM Revenue and Customs.
HMRC doesn't collect the licence fee
Why is this a shock to people? Producing television isn't free, you know.
Why is the government producing television content?
because gay doctor who, thats why
>pay thousands just to go to the hospital
I have health insurance, so nah
if you own a tv in bongland, but only watch dvds and play video games YOU OWN on it, do you still need a loisence?
did you even read the image, dumbass?
yes but it didn't mention dvds or video games thx
you didn't read it
the license doesn't apply to physical tvs
it applies to the broadcast, the video, that's why it says "tv, computer, or other device"
>GOY.UK
ahahhahahahahhahahahahh
Daily reminder you can ignore all of their letters and loicence boy visits and absolutely nothing will come of it.
You need to have a certain percentage who are willing to pay for it or you will end up like us in Finland where they just made it into a tax that raises with your income.
How do I get Cbeebies? I really want to watch this.
Why would you willingly choose to watch anything on the BBC? Are you trans?
I have three televisions and none of them are plugged into an aerial because I wouldn't watch that shit if you paid me.
do I need the license for pirate bay?
>sigh
I'll be back in a minute
kek wtf Britain?
>Monochrome TV
If you turn the color settings down on a modern tv can you get the discount?
They get Radio
I'm always torn on the tv license. On the one hand, I feel that this opt-in method is the way that taxes should work in general. On the other hand, I like making fun of british "people."
>"people"
Its ok anon you can call us gods.
Buy your loicence.
This guy is a bro: https://www.bbctvlicence.com/
They don't bother you if you just check the box saying you dont use your tv
i don't even do that, i don't respect the institution and i wont bend to its rules, im not putting my name in their database, they still can't do shit, they send letters, maybe the send goons but I've never encountered them, I've never paid a licence or declared myself as not needing one, and nothing has happened
Bros....
that's a meaningless letter
if you ignore them they send you that, it says you MAY be charged IF you are found to be watching tv
ignore it and you will get another telling you that you still haven't responded so they will be going ahead with the investigation, ignore it some more and you will receive more of the same, continue ignoring it and one day you will get a letter in a red envelope saying much the same, ignore it again and then you get a normal one in a normal envelope saying we have no record of a tv licence at this address plz respond, and the cycle starts fresh
they literally can't do a thing of you completely ignore them, don't engage their goons if they come to your door simply ignore them and they cant do a thing, people only get 'caught' because they mouth off and the goons call the police to force their way in or you're a moron thats watching tv Infront of your open curtains and they see you
never engage with them and they have no power
>you can't watch TV with an open window or police invade
What else aren't you allowed to do in your own home, cut a steak?
Yeah the guy at this site has been getting the letters since 2006, nothing happens
>Americans will post this then pay their taxes that go to PBS without their choice in the matter.
White leftists are racial and political cuckolds
