Its trickle-down tax evasion. When I see our politicians avoiding paying millions in taxes and getting away with it, I wonder why should I contribute. I see Apple, Amazon and the tech companies who make a fortune in my country get away with sending the profits to the Cayman islands. All the super markets having a zero-tax liability, so more of the burden falls onto me, I figure maybe I should get an accountant who can help me too.

Didn’t Microsoft try and do this with Silverlight back in the day?

Oh dear, I didn’t realise this was the British anime forum. Thanks for showing me the type of users that come here.

Hysteria

That doesn’t disprove what I said. I don’t need a license fee in other countries, despite all these laws.

I can stop watching it. I still need a TV license if I want to watch Dave, QVC or even Sky. Even if I stop watching the BBC.

I can’t watch live TV without a TV license. Even if I don’t watch the BBC, I have to pay for it. If Sky started hiring sexual predators, I could stop watching and paying for Sky. I can’t with the BBC unless I want to stop all broardcast television.

I cannot watch ITV without a TV license. Nor can I watch Dave or any other channel. You’re being disingenous. Ant and Dec and the like are paid for by companies in order to advertise their products. If Ant or Dec got caught noncing around, they’d lose all sponsorship and relationships with their sponsors. They wouldn’t be getting protection from all their other noncey mates like countless BBC hosts and employees.

You shouldn’t have to lie if you have a valid point to make.

I don’t pay for GB News, Metro or whatever and I have a choice not to support their sponsors. The BBC is only allowed to pump out its shite because the state forces me to pay for it. ITV don’t send detector vans around or get court orders to break into people’s homes. The BBC does.

So the Guardian founder was actively involved in the slave trade? And the Guardian has benefitted directly from his involvement in slavery? All while painting themselves as bastions of morality?

Makes topless photos seem kind of tame.

There are also accusations of inappropriate behaviour to BBC staff:

I am forced to pay Huw Edward’s wages under the threat of state sanctioned violence. Just like I am with an MPs.
