Radio license is scrapped.
You can watch tv via the internet as long as its not in parallel to an actual broadcast... So you can have no license and watch BBC IPlayer... The BBC is not state owned as far as Im aware, and the Licensing "committee" is owned by the BBC although you will never see BBC and the licensing company within 100 metres of each other. I watched this video on youtube where the guy films a TV licensing inspector who ran off... He followed him with the camera to find out what he wanted and the TV licensing guy rang the cops. A cop came (remember the last time a copper came to anything - serious stuff?) and hilarity ensues:
In the end this cop didnt even know why she was there!
Theres nothing they can do and TV detector vans dont exist. They have no power and the only reason you get caught is because you admit it.
I dont need a license cause I dont watch it... You can buy allot of beer for £145... Do you seriously want to pay for talentless celebrities and fat cats who do nothing?
