Why would people pay the BBC to hear non-stop propaganda lies?
That's the same reason I don't subscribe to the Houston Chronicle. I won't even line bird cages with it.
Ignorance. Before I awoke I listened to NPR and believed every word. Now I listen occasionally, when I don’t mind getting kissed off, just to learn what the enemy is thinking and planning.
The emotion they use makes it difficult to realize they’re manipulating the populace.
lol you actually believed that BLATANT, shrewd and OVERTLY BIASED propaganda?
I was younger and ignorant.
dude I wasn't even old enough to vote for obama in 2008 and I knew dems were AWFUL HUMAN BEINGS I hope you never fool yourself on anything in this world again.
Yeah. I don't understand how all that works. Is it like our paid cable networks?
No, in the UK, if you have a TV, you must pay a TV license fee. This license fee is used to support TV channels like the BBC. It's compulsory; essentially a tax to pay for public TV. People do try to dodge the fee, but vans roams the streets looking for TVs running (perhaps using electronic equipment, I don't know as I live in the US) in order to find TV license fee evaders. People are simply not paying the fee. I doubt it is because they've gotten rid of their TVs.
I remember when Bernie Sanders convinced Joe Rogan TV in the UK was free lol.
I already knew this at the time. Redpilled my normie friend on Bernie with that one
Wow. Outrageous!
Like in Germany: We have to pay for the brainwashing they serve us. In 2021 someone refused to pay it, because he has no tv since decades, and they send him to jail for 6 months. It is not connected to owning a tv, radio or computer, but to your home address. They simply assume that you use a device for information and therefore you have to pay.
The fee works out at £13.25 a month. For nearly half that price you can get Amazon Prime with all of its benefits. With everything online these days I wouldn't be surprised to hear most people have got rid of their TVs.
Can you legally dodge it by getting a TV with no OTA tuner?
Yes. I dated a guy from England and they charge fees for everything. I couldn’t believe it. A fee to have a boat. A lake fee per day to enjoy your boat. Yearly Fees for your cars. Fees galore! The councils up everybody’s ass about every little thing.
Their food prices were much better than ours. And the quality for produce and dairy was excellent. American dairy takes all the good fat out of our cream. Their heavy cream is decadent.
We have them on the beef though, and they have us on Ham.
Yeaaah, I'm the Tax Maa-aann. ( Bet you just sang that)
Basically what the other guy said. They use information gathered at point of sale ( if you bought a TV or subscription to a TV package etc to identify people who should pay. Rumour was they used to drive around with listening equipment..
Anyway, they rely on you incriminating yourself when they knock on your door. If you don’t invite them in, they cannot enter. They are not the police, they are a private company.
They will also try sending warning letters.
Some people have been avoiding these letters for years and years without repercussions.
Most pay to avoid the hassle.
Just never answer your door or mail, eh! I bet that most of the people who pay to avoid hassle have at least two jabs and wear their masks still. ;)
Just tell these licence snoopers "I do not watch live streaming broadcasts" and shut the door on them.
When you buy a TV it alerts them to your purchase and they send you a letter telling you to get a TV license.
I know someone that swears by the BBC. "I know American media lies but I trust BBC"
Many people still pay for cable in order to be brainwashed.
Millions of Americas pay far more every month to hear non stop propaganda lies.
It's called cable tv.
