fucking plebs

neither, DVHeld

pirate that shit you nibbas

You dont have to pay the license fee

The BBC have a list of all properties in the country, and a list of all the properties that have TV licenses

^

All the addresses that don't have licenses, they send letters to demanding you either buy a license, or send them a "we don't have a tv" form

But you need an account to watch the BBC online now

if you do neither, they'll check you out

They can't legally enter your home

Actually they can

i got a fucking bailiff barge into my house and start demanding items to the value of £500

Try it

If you refuse them, they can get a court order to enter your home with police backing

Try it

They do 🙂

Generally though, if you tell them you dont' have a tv and send them their form, they leave you alone

i haven't heard anything more from them in 3 years

"Oi mate! You 'ave a loisance for tha'?"

I prefer to let them waste their paper

But I agree with doing away with the license, it's retarded

can you game that system by having a TV and declaring to have none?

In theory, DV

your Scottish, your to poor to be worth a baliff

I -own- a TV, I just don't watch tv broadcasts with it

if they want a public media outlet... then it should be part of the budget and everyone should have access.. not just people who can afford it

^

aye, wacka, i think they need to hive off the world service and keep that paid by tax payers, and privatise the rest

I think the parliament channel should be public

so in the end you only pay the license if you're a suker?

no you pay it if you like bbc

nah, people are generally honest here

@wacka its not if people can afford it its illegal not to if you have any device that can access bbc content

bbc one, two, news24, and other broadcast channels... film4 .. dave is pretty good sometimes...

technically incorrect, brett

that honor system would never work in my country 🤣

the basis for which the license fee works in law would allow them to require you to have a license for merely having a device capable of receiving broadcast

people are too "smart" here

a lot of things in britain are based on an honour system

even a lot of tax processes
