If you tried the sky's the limit! Who knows you could actually admit that you were wrong!
But that ain't ever gonna happen is It!
Don't be rushing the script into the BBC will you. If they were to broadcast that, id predict a massive rise in non payment of the tv licence and 1000s more would wind up in jail!
Oh the self fulfilling irony!!
Forget the script writing fella. Just stick to what you're best at. Being wrong.
Well spotted Mr pedant. However not as forensic as you'd like to think! The first one was defiantly! But 2 out of 3 , for you, is outstanding!UpTheBeehole wrote:Two different variations in three uses yet you still didn't spell 'definitely' correctly

Argue one thing, provide links that don't actually prove what you're saying, gradually change your argument to try and make it fit the facts without really appreciating why it was wrong in the first place and use lots of laughing smileys.
Fair play to him though, he's managed to tempt in half a dozen people who are naive enough to believe that presenting him with facts will actually convince him he's wrong.

'Not covered by a TV Licence? You are breaking the law if you:
watch or record programmes as they're being shown on TV or live on an online TV service, or
download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.
This applies to any device or provider you use, including a TV, desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, games console, digital box or DVD/Blu-Ray/VHS recorder.
You could be prosecuted if we find that you have been watching, recording or downloading programmes illegally. The maximum penalty is a £1,000* fine plus any legal costs and/or compensation you may be ordered to pay.
*The maximum fine is £2,000 in Guernsey.'

If your skint enough not to be able to afford the tv licence. How likely is it that you'll be able to find the grand?
Then you'll realise why so many have found themselves in prison.

Alternatively scrap the tv licence.......UpTheBeehole wrote:If you can't afford a TV licence, then sell your TV.
If you couldn't afford to run a car, you'd get rid of it and use the money for something vital.
If you're so poor that you can't afford £12 a month, then sell the TV and use the proceeds for food or heating or whatever it is this £3 a week prevents you from having.
Plenty of people watch sky channels, even the ppv events without paying them a pennywilks_bfc wrote:No you won’t
But if you don’t pay sky bill then they are able to withdraw the service that they provide, so you wouldn’t be able to use it
BBC aren’t capable of doing that

Yes!superdimitri wrote:It's amazing that somehow a thread about Lineker has anything whatsoever about politics. People are obsessed.
Can we not have a football forum?
What's political about the tv licence? It's been enforced under the Tories, Labour and coalitions.superdimitri wrote:There is no requirement to pay it. You just let them know if you buy a t.v. That you aren't using the tuner and you don't watch anything live on the BBC. Again nothing whatsoever about politics and completely off topic.
It seems like people just get obsessed about politics on here. If you want to post about politics can't you bugger off to a political forum?
Read the title of this thread my delusional friend. This is a football forum. Go discuss politics somewhere where it belongs. Preferably not a football forum.RingoMcCartney wrote:What's political about the tv licence? It's been enforced under the Tories, Labour and coalitions.
If you don't want to contribute to this thread can't you bugger off to another one? Just asking like. I'm assuming nobody put a gun to your head and made you post. It's not the BBC here you know. You do have a choice!

Its funny how even though he goes against everything the left by core should stand for (paying your taxes), they all stick up for him simply because he mouthpieces what they want to hear on social issues like Immigration, Farage and Brexit. Hes just another millionaire liberal phoney who says all the right things to their adoring followers but in reality have zero substance; a bit like that Corbyn fella actually.
Virtue signalling is exactly what these ultra-rich liberal celebrity sorts do though.Imploding Turtle wrote:He has no point.
It's a term used by those who want to disagree with someone but can't form an argument to do so.

Most of us stopped trying to argue with you hours ago and yet you're still banging the same drum.
At least I've made the weird nickname list, I feel strangely honoured, although it is a bit of a **** one, can't you come up with something better?

RingoMcCartney wrote:Most with your opinion clearly realised they were wrong. The ultimate sanction for non payment of the tv licence is prison.
I posted several links from the guardian, the Huffington post, the independent, the mail and many other sources.
All of them had examples, the independent had over 800, of people being jailed as a result of not paying the BBC poll tax.
So you call it "banging the same drum". I'll call it sticking to my guns knowing that despite the usual gaggle of UTC message board lefties and pedants saying otherwise. Journalists and politicians I've sourced agree with me.
Sounds like I've touched a raw nerve there Tender Paul! Must be all that chafing your enduring! Still, prison, and all it entails, is what you get for not paying the BBC poll tax eh?!
Try and have a good night's sleep and give my regards to the rest of the Strangeways Clarets!

They mime the liberal "progressive" mantra over social media, enjoy all the retweets and sycophantic write ups in Buzzfeed and the Independent about them, but it's all a load of **** really, they don't believe half of what they come out with in any real depth and implement or live by even less of it.

As soon as you use that argument you've admitted defeat, and that's what you do everytime you call someone a 'virtue signaller'.
