>The BBC has confirmed that viewers will have to pay £4 more for their TV licence from April 1, when the price will increase to £154.50. When broken down the new fee amount equates to £2.97 a week or £12.87 a month.
>Those buying or renewing a licence after 1 April 2019 will pay the new fee. Those buying a new licence before 1 April 2019 will also pay the current rate.
>Anyone watching or recording programmes on live TV, or watching or downloading BBC programmes on iPlayer, must have a licence. The charge applies whether the show is being watched on a TV set, computer, tablet or any other equipment.
>Last April the fee rose from £147 to £150.50. Before this the price stayed at £147 between 2010 and 2017. Dozens of people have complained about the price hike on Twitter, saying that the licence already costs too much and asking if it is now time to 'scrap' the system.
I'm fine with this. The BBC's costs are going up because of inflation so it's only fair so they can keep making quality programmes
Cameron King
Name fucking one, I'll wait...
Kayden Jackson
do you both actually pay for it?
Nicholas Collins
How about well make that payment optional then? You're fine with it you pay. Why the fuck I must give my shekels to commie propaganda channel just because I watch unrelated channels live?
Nicholas Hughes
You are OK, citizen.
Blake Flores
*mate
Ryan Clark
it is optional. you don't have to pay if you don't watch live tv
Jace Mitchell
at least they can maybe not pay - we on the other hand don't even have a choice
Jaxon Rogers
You need to work on you reading comprehension mate
Blake Russell
no one watches tv anymore if they do it isnt the bbc, its HBO and shit. you even made clarkson move to amazon.
Jayden Mitchell
LOL who pays TV Licenses anymore. From my experience recently they can't jail you or anything. They can suck a cock.
Eli Torres
When I get out of my parents basement il never be paying for a TV licence, just make me
Luke Parker
Brits are too pussy to do that. It's why they list the revolutionary war, everyone with balls became Americans
Parker Bell
will the world ever stop laughing at bongland?
Jace Wright
Tell the Zionist BBC and UK Gov mafia to go suck on a cock, preferaby a newborn freshly circumsised one. Oh and dont pay your taxes either and take out your money from those zionist banks. Thanks.
Jordan Adams

Hunter Price
>britbongs literally get fucked by BBC
Matthew Wright
Just stop watching television. It's literally mental programming/brainwashing that YOU are paying for.
imagine paying for state and Jewish propaganda there's not many cucked nations on earth like the fuckin Brits
Ryan Adams
Le trolled bad Brits epicly!!!1!!1
Aaron Sanchez
I paid for TV license for one year, didn’t bother renewing it because 99% of the stuff on television is crap.
TV Licensing sent me a letter telling me that I am under investigation and being monitored. They said they may also send somebody round to check that I am not watching TV.
I feel like telling them to get fucked, but I have heard they can be complete arseholes and end up taking you to court.
If one of their shithead employees does turn up they can come and see for themselves that my TV is not connected to the aerial and I will demand that be the end of it.
Gavin Davis
I don't know anyone irl that actually pays for this shit lol
Brayden Brown
It's also optional, you don't need to let the inspectors in.
Chase Brooks
>Everyone with balls become American This is pretty much true anyone with a dick left that shitty island centuries ago.
Parker Reyes
Not hard at all. I believe they simply have to refuse an inspection and state that they're unable to receive live broadcasts. They may get pestered by licensing enforcers, but I think they're mostly powerless.
Jackson Diaz
Majority of European countries have TV licenses and some are even worse where you have to pay for it even if you don't have a TV.
Cameron Campbell
BBC hasn’t made anything worth while in a decade.
Adrian Johnson
>TV license More like broadcasting license. They can charge you money if you watch live BBC through internet or on your mobile phone. Very easy to determine IP of person who is plugged into broadcasting, then they show up at your door and tell you to pay.
Jaxon Butler
All you have to do is just answer the door, say you don't watch TV and then say "bye" and close it on em. If you invite them into your home you're a fucking brainlet
Luke Johnson
Britbongs gonna have to pay more. FUCKING LAUGHABLE!
Ian Mitchell
>Be British >Pay licence to watch TV >Turn on TV >Nothing but Race mixing and immigration propaganda. Its no wonder most Britanons don't pay for it
Jace Brown
>calling it a tax when it's basically optional
The TV license meme is fun and all but it's actually one of the few state-run things in society you can opt out of. In that regard, it's a plus compared to being forced to pay into the BBC's garbage from your pay packet.
The only bizarre aspect of it is "agencies" hounding you for payment, which are some kinda corrupt money-making exercise for politicians or something. If you buy a new TV then you have to make sure you pay in cash and give a fake/incorrect post-code, otherwise you get the meme inspectors asking you whether you're watching Interracial Historial Revisionism 2 on something you bought to play vidya on.
Lots of countries have state-run television and you are forced to fund those even if you don't have a TV, but I don't see anyone making funny posts about it. The BBC raising its fees is an act of desperation and it's quite enjoyable to watch.
Kevin Cruz
Never paid the license fee, never will
Lucas Ross
Peaky Blinders, and that's it.
Asher Jenkins
>201770674 This is true. In Portugal you pay an "audiovisual fee" which is included in your electricity bill. There is no way around it, and it gets used to fund garbage state TV. Monthly amount is € 2,85 (plus VAT), which is ridiculous.
Dominic Robinson
The Peaky Blinders is appalling, it londonified the west midlands so fucking hard.
If you actually watch TV then it's slightly different, but the TV License mafia are not policeman and have no power, so you can just ignore it.
William Reed
Get to fuck. They sell everything on to profit overseas, their programs are complete shit. MotD and the occasional movie are all I can ever imagine watching. Good troll tbph, I got a lil mad
true, us Americans get bbc america for free. They do an hour long news show on television here. And it's one of those channels that you don't even have to subscribe to cable or satelite to access
We have TV license too in Slovenia, but i pay 153 euro per year. Brits pay more per month.
Christian Richardson
>Britchads and Britcucks at eachothers throats instead of everyone elses for once
This is a good thread.
Michael Nelson
No it’s about the same, but lol at paying that in the Balkan’s
Jaxon Peterson
>bbc 6pm headline news last night
>nothing about the sheffield machete stabbing >nothing about the french yellow vests in months >something something brexit bad >the weather is cold >it's cold in chicago
It's never fucking news. Why do we need to know about the weather in a random American city!? Most nights it's Donald Trump bad.
I'm sure Americans can watch BBC news online and you should watch the main evening broadcasts like 6pm or 10pm. It's laughable how obviously fake it is.
Isaiah Parker
It's bad when your nations propaganda channel is an acronym for nigger dicks
Logan Cox
HAHAHAHAAA
What the fuck man... The "first black anything..." gets a statue now.
What a hideous cunt she is, giving Diane Abbott a run for her money.
Ive seen a fair amount of British TV on Youtube and which would you call "quality"? Its boring, and most of it has an undertone of subjects must comply with the government. >be british >pay subscription fees for your propaganda >this is quality
Chase Miller
dnevnik.si/1042858742 >21. januar 2019 >RTV Slovenija >glede na naraščanje stroškov in inflacijo že dolga leta »zamrznjen« pri 12,75 evra na mesec. Vlada bi ga lahko brez spremembe zakona povišala za največ deset odstotkov, torej na največ 14 evrov na mesec. Translation: >given the rising costs and inflation, for many years, "frozen" at 12.75 euros per month. The government could increase it by no more than 10 percent, without a change in the law, to a maximum of 14 euros per month.
RTV is like BBC here. We didn't raise it because of inflation. This is for radio and television, but i can cancel it if i want, i might do it, since i don't watch much television and especially not listen radio. 12,75 x 12 = 153 euro per year
Jaxon Brown
a lot of people actually do pay it, they sent a goon to me mams house a few weeks ago. I told him to get out the garden n dont come back. Had one more letter saying pay or else since but she's not worried. I've never paid for one, had my own place for well over 10 years.
Charles Reyes
Same here. €160 a year (€13pm).
I only pay it because they drag you to court and possibly fine you. If you don't pay fine, possible prison sentence.
They probably spend more money in the courts and collection fees. Now the cunts not only want to raise it like the UK but they are redefining it as a digital licence. Threatening to ban you from isps if you don't pay.
Luke Gray
Haven't paid a TV license in over 10 years >Unplug TV from wall >Fill in the online form every now and again to say I don't need one >Use TV for gaming, youtube, streaming, KODI, etc >Have never had a visit or angry letter Might make a youtube video explaining this so I can just link it in future as so many people are misinformed about TV licensing e.g. my Mum is terrified that I don't pay, she thinks I will be arrested just for owning a TV without a license.
Jaxson Cook
Do you happen to have a pond in the garden?
Christian Sanders
Run a television station.... Not able to be financially successful... charge as much as cable
Mason Cook
check'd n based
Jose Martin
okay so whats just so hard about not watching TV
Charles Brown
How are those self defense laws... O yeah forgot m8, if you stand your ground in bongland the state cucks you. If some faggot walked on my property and demanded to check my tv I would knock him out cold faggot
It is same in Slovakia, you have to pay 5€/m if you are connected to electric grid, it doesnt matter if you watch state tv or even own tv set (I dont). Worst thing is that state tv is unironical literal propaganda channel and completely ignoring any legal obligations of impartiality, representation or freedom of information they have. And this comes with holocaust remembrance reports in every evening news on top of it.
You dont pay? They will sell your obligation to 3rd party extortion service that will use friendly executor to sell your house for 1/2 of the value to another friendly party and use the money to pay 5,10 or 20€ you didnt pay.
Noah Sanders
If you pay government license they shouldn't have ads, but they have ads here since 90ies.
>private profit company >government non-profit company pick one
Capitalists don't give a fuck about rules or logic.
Eli Russell
In the UK you'll need to apply for an exemption and constantly renew it. And don't be surprised if the police comes knocking on your door to have a talk with you about this suspicious behaviour.
Jaxson Williams
You should have asked to see his goon license
Dominic Bell
Lmfao. Portucucks have to pay for RTP. Rise up Portugal you used to be a based celtic nation.
Jayden Fisher
A few decades ago they still made quality content.
Julian Peterson
Can they fine you or take you to court
Joshua Clark
lmao one looked thrugh my window and said i can see you watching tv. Just replied, so fucking what, i'm not paying for pedo coverups
Adrian Turner
Portubro, how is the weather there in first week of April? Trying to get my Dad to come with me to Villamoura before he dies.
Joshua Fisher
It's not even funny at this point. I still don't feel any compassion towards britbongs but now it's just not funny anymore.
I don't know, never heard about it. They are more concerned about putting this law on high court, because we aren't in Socialism any longer and they have ads, so this law where you have to pay money is kind of useless. Also, if you pay government television tax then they should never show a single thing from another country, but they do in ads and in shows. National television should be about promotion of nation.
Carson Hill
Yes? Why wouldn't you be able to? You don't have to purchase a tv license. There are also tv licenses in other countries. As far as I am aware in Germany the license fee must be paid by all even if you don't have a tv.
William Rodriguez
Everything they produce is a globalist propaganda piece.
Jeremiah Murphy
The government is going to send someone to your house to make sure you aren’t watching TV? What the fuck!
Juan Perez
Dude, you don't know shit. In the UK you don't pay the license automatically (unlike in France and some other countries where it appears on your yearly tax bill), you need to actually go and explicitly buy it. Guess what, if you don't watch tv (which you should not watch anyway) you just don't buy the license.
Joshua Clark
>my Mum is terrified that I don't pay, she thinks I will be arrested just for owning a TV without a license.
I get this a lot. people think the tv license people can just walk into your house and have you charged.
I had a license and simply moved places and got threatening letters almost instantly which made me not renew the license. I occasionally get them but if I get a knock on the door I am going to tell them to fuck off and slam it.
