It's even funnier when you know she works in the Department for Leveling Up. You want a livable wage and proper housing? After what we gave you, not one but TWO boxes of chocolate. I took time out of my holidays to get chauffeur driven to deliver those, and thats how you repay us. Ungrateful gets.

One of the keys to understanding all kinds of dynamics related to Israel in recent history is realizing that much of the right-wing thinking surrounding the country, both internal and external, is just the inverse of antisemitism, and thus carries with it the implications of antisemitic thinking. For instance, the idea that Jews cannot safely live in countries outside of Israel, which implies that Jews cannot belong in or assimilate into any other country, and thus that all Jews outside of Israel are just temporarily embarrassed Israelis. Another aspect of this that you see among some gentile right wingers is that Jews are exceptionally smart and talented, which ties into the idea that Jews control the media, culture, government, etc. Once you realize this, it's easy to understand why the Israeli right wing is so comfortable with deeply antisemitic groups like Trumpets Republicans or Viktor Orban's political party and vice versa.

I just don't watch TV anymore. That way I don't have to pay a license fee to see some gurning MP trying to rehabilitate themselves in front of the nation. Though again TV licensing tried to convince me I need a license to watch YouTube and Amazon prime. loving liars.

I agree with a lot of this, but you have to understand that Jews legitimately don't think they can assimilate into non-israrli society well enough to not be genocided for good reason. There are people still alive whose families were very well assimilated in Germany before WW2. My grandfather's family was very well assimilated in their own country and it didn't help at all when the fash decided they need a scapegoat.

Yeah, it's anything being streamed live that's also on TV, Things being streamed live as if they where a TV show (So the live sports and so on), Any broadcast TV channel (Not just the BBC) and the iPlayer. I have enough threatening letters to wallpaper my downstairs loo from the licensing people.

I watched Big Fat Quiz yesterday. In the first few minutes they managed to make a non-critical reference to GB news, Ayoade made a joke about cancellation and Carr did his usual 'ooh, you delicate snowflakes better watch out!' I was trying my hardest not to be the Insufferable Humourless Leftie because the wife wanted to watch it, but it was just absolute arsewater.

Had them visit twice, asked what they wanted through the open window and just closed it as soon as they mentioned TV... don't engage. If a TV service streams live and you watch it, you need a licence. You don't need one for Twitch or YT unless the streamer is viewing Live Broadcast content on their stream. poo poo is vague: live streams that don’t come from a body that resembles a “television programme service” don't need a TV licence for them.

Had a visit from them many years ago, when I was living in student halls. I had a license (my parents bought it for me), but the guy in the next room hadn't. I showed it to them, and they left me alone. Then I passed it along through the window to the guy next door. He waved it in their direction, and they left him alone, too. Since then, I've usually received an annual threatening letter wherever I live, asking me to let me know if I don't have a TV. Since I don't have one, I don't see the point of inconveniencing myself on their behalf. To date, they haven't tried breaking my door down.

You can stop TV licensing ringing your doorbell for two years by filling out an online declaration form. There's no requirement to use your own name, and I last signed mine with Prof F.U.CKoff and they left me alone for 2 years, while getting an amusing confirmation letter through the post. You can also tell inspectors to their face that you are removing their company's and any agents' implied right of access to your property, tell them that you are recording this (lie if need be) and they'll stop knocking. My last declaration ran out a few years ago, so every few weeks I have a yellow jacketed inspector stand menacingly outside my door, handwrite the time and date of his visit on a threatening form letter and post that through my letterbox. That's all they can do to me now. I haven't watched live TV for many years, and I stopped watching iPlayer when you needed a license for that out of principle. If there's anything I want to watch from the BBC, I'll torrent it instead. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Dec 29, 2023 |

Here in Ireland they still have it, and they got you coming every way. quote:If you have a TV, you must have a TV licence. This applies even if the TV is broken, as it is capable of being fixed. If you have other equipment capable of receiving TV signals (for example by using an aerial, satellite dish or cable), you must also have a TV licence. Though a lot are not paying it in protest due to the Ryan Tubridy RTE payment scandal. Leading to it down by 61 million euros this year. So yeah, they are panicing and becoming more strict about prosecutions.

I'm amazed that the TV license lasted this long past the advent of Sky. You had to pay for the installation of the dish and a monthly charge for the upkeep of the system, and channels still had adverts because you weren't actually funding any of them with your sub, but for some reason you still had to pay for a full TV license? You'd think that would have raised some eyebrows, but the British have the cultural inertia of a mountain being raised through continental drift. I did look into getting a license for my new place, but the only way to pay the actual price was to pay the year in full - paying quarterly incurs a 5% surcharge, and paying monthly they now charge you over £30 a month to begin with to get you six months ahead on the license, just in case you can't pay it later on but still want to watch TV, which is definitely their call to make about your finances.

I never paid ours when it still existed, either, but now it's just a bit in my normal taxes and  so I guess mission accomplished? The ridiculous business with the inspectors etc. was just silly, thankfully I never encountered one in the wild.

TV licence chat: I do pay mine, not a hill I want to die on. I thought I'd look up the stat about more women being incarcerated for non-payment of tv licence than men. This is quite an interesting read - it starts by implying (IMO) that it isn't true (which I think is the case for actual imprisonment), but 76% of convictions were women. quote:In 2017, a gender disparity report from TV Licensing said the reasons more women are prosecuted than men could include the number of households without an adult male, more women being home during the day to answer the door to a TV Licensing enquiry officer and women being more likely to engage positively with them. https://fullfact.org/news/liz-truss-tv-licence-prison/

lol it's entirely her cronies and also one elderly writer who's best known for the 1982 novel Lacequote:Her first novel Lace was published in 1982 by Simon & Schuster and was a huge bestseller, spending 13 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, reaching as high as No. 6. It became known as a 'bonkbuster' for its many explicit and often bizarre sex scenes. It was adapted into a 1980s US miniseries starring Phoebe Cates. It contains the infamous line: "Which one of you bitches is my mother?"
