I've heard this joke many times, never understood it.
Does UK need licenses for everything or something?
They have a license you're supposed to have to watch the BBC basically a TV tax for people who actually watch it. License enforcement has always been off their rockers. Back in the day they said they had a TV detector van that they would drive around and detect if you were watching a TV without a license. They send you threatening letters if you don't have a license. They'll even come to your door and try to make you prove you don't have a tv. You can just tell them to leave.
