Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

TV license as it stands only exists to prop up the enterprise of thugs that go round bullying vulnerable people. Oh and the criminal paper waste for sending out the threat letters that I get like every 2 weeks "are you in on the 24th we're coming for you". Not that they've ever sent anyone I imagine they specifically target people they know they can coerce.
Like if the charge is kept just roll it into the fucking cable subscription cost??? Make it subscription on the bbc website???????? It literally is just to keep the thugs for hire company going. Oh and the irony being the cost of sending out someone to do this and prosecute probably costs more than the fucking license does
Also do people even watch TV anymore?? The aggressive way they've used threats the last decade or so has felt like the dying screeches of a dinosaur.
No cable is on its way out but that's why labour want to extend it to online steaming that's not just iplayer lmao
