And the British public has never voted against this? How do they justify this to you guys? :mindblown:


I don't understand British people sometimes. They love to moan and grumble about how terrible it is here,but they never actually seem to do anything. When it has come up, people I have spoken to about it who are actually a bit political , moan about the BBC being 'a bunch of robbing c*nts' is the line often used , but then say 'well we don't want to end up like america with fox news', frankly whatever you think of fox news they don't send goons round to your home and demand you pay for their politically biased shyt and if you don't they fine you hundreds of pounds and you might even go to prison. Yes people have been locked up for not paying fines over tv licenses . I mean most of the decent TV shows watched by people here these days game of thrones, breaking bad, walking dead , are all made by US companies contracted for US networks. I know many use British actors, but still it is what it is. The BBC isn't what it used to be in terms of quality TV shows top gear was the last one and they fukked it up . And even then when you read about how they enabled that pervert jimmy saville ,you think people now would think the BBC should be closed down.

Yeah and it's the dumbest fukking thing ever. TV ain't been good since the 90s IMO so I hardly watch it anyway. 90% of everything I view is online.
I don't know what i'm gonna do when southpark and family guy finally end

It'll be a sad day.

TV licence, in theory, ensures that we have a say in the quality of TV. Not gonna lie, I'd rather have the licence and no ads rather have a 20 minute progamme with 3 ad breaks like they do in the States. :manny: Plus there are ways to circumvent the detectors as well. :mjpls:

It may get worse. This government who are allegedly conservative, want to get rid of the tv licence and replace it with a tax. Which means anyone in the UK whether you own a tv or not, watch bbc or not or are poor or not will have to pay the bbc tax . The bbc used to make good programmes like only fools and horses,bottom, the young ones they used to make excellent documentaries, these days it seems to be utter reality tv shyt,cookery and property programes comedy programmes pushing left wing agendas, the news pushes a left wing agenda senior people who work for the bbc even admit it.

But the TV licence is a tax. Why would they look to get rid of it?:dwillhuh: I think they still make good TV as well; Luther, Some of those BBC4 documentaries, Attenborough documentaries, The Apprentice, Charlie Brookers programmes, People just do nothing
Also you'd rather the have BBC right wing agenda as opposed to a Left wing one. You'd want to see it like FOX news in America? :patrice:
