honestly the most realistic part in doctor who was the tv episode where david tennant says he doesnt have a tv licence and some woman’s like “Really?! They execute you for that!”
me: has literally JUST moved house
the bbc, waltzing from the shadows snapping it’s corperate fingers: give ‘us money or we’ll break yer’ kneecaps, gov'na :)
Yeah, i guess if you live outside the uk you might not know about this
@hotfuss you need a tv liscene to watch live tv (meaning anything that’s being shown at a scheduled time on the telly) you also need it to watch literally any bbc programming, even if you do it online on your laptop or phone. It’s the reason there are no adverts on the BBC.
It costs £154.50 that you have to pay every year. If you don’t have one they send you letters constantly telling you they’ll send somebody to your house to make sure you’re not watching tv. So despite the fact I’ve already told them i don’t watch tv (i work 40 hours a week and just watch youtube) they’ve started sending me the letters again so I have to call them up.
Oh and apparently they can track what devices you have in your home and tell when you watch their content without a liscence.
It’s very dystopian over something so fucking stupid, on the bright-side I did find this fake ad while trying to find the buildboard picture
that’s really what it’s like living here
That’s honestly dystopian sounding
What is a VAT fiddle
