They really do
>>205700182Just dont open the door
>>205700182I'm so glad I can shoot people in the US
>>205700182Isn't it worse in Germany? You have to pay it for the radio as well, and you still need to pay even if you don't use it?
>>205700182Who the hell watches TV in this day and age
Pretty sure Germany has it too
>>205700322It's actually worse in Germany
>>205700182>>ARD nigga you must be kidding me, I thought it was Germany until I read scottish
Ours just said fuck it and automatically take the fee from your paycheck regardless if you have a tv/radio or not, they got fed up with everyone trying to avoid it, beautiful democracy at work
>>205700182what is this retarded intimidation tactic shitbritain is truly awful
Half my mail these days is from the TV licensing people (I don't own a TV because I torrent everything).
>>205700396Britain is unironically one of the least democratic countries in Europe.
>>205700455the politicians are comically evil
>>205700382Ours is tied in the electricity bills lol
>>205700396It's all they can do because they don't have much power to follow up. You can safely ignore them as far as I know.
>>205700182How do younger Brits deal with this shit? Like the ones who don't care to even own a TV? Do they fucking search your home?I'd probably just get really passive aggressive.
>>205700636You ignore them when they come to the door. They don't send the real police, but private collection agents who don't have any genuine power.
We just get a fixed tax.Pic not related, it is pinworms in ass.
>>205700636Ours used to ring your doorbell and if you lived in a house/bottom floor at an apartment building they would snoop around and try to look in through the windows and spot a tv. I once got a mail that an ”operator” had seen a tv in my apartment and that i now had to pay the fee, but i lived on the 5th floor and it’s was impossible to see into my apartment so i had to call them up and tell them to go fuck themselves to be written off again
Boomoid issue. Who watches TV anymore?
>>205700832Jesus Christ that's horrifying. I don't know if I'd keep my cool in the face of that shit.
>>205700608I mean yeah just keep the door closed and don't answer it lol
>in US we get ad free TV (PBS) paid for by taxes and Elmo merchandise>in Europe ad free TV is paid for by a legion of nonces harassing innocent people
>>205700854Well by the nature of the letter you're more likely to get one specifically because you don't watch TV. It does cover the otherwise "free" on-demand video service the BBC offers as well.Haven't used it in a while but when you sign in to it I think you can just use any post code and say it's your address.
>>205700636Just read about a guy in 2014 who told the company he would charge them a processing fee for sending him these notices. He won the case and they had to pay him.
>>205700216But they could come back
