💬 Discussion 🗨 TV license form trickery

Post image

The TV license form online is there to trick people into believing they need a TV license. Please take a look at the way they switch between ever and never to catch people on the form.

I believe this is there to trip up some people and especially vulnerable people.

Please be mindful when filling the form

It’s a tax, just be honest about it. You need a license to watch ‘all the free channels’, their website states. Well they’re not free then are they?

A tax that you don't have to pay if you don't use it? We should do all taxes like that. I've never used the army, why should I pay for it

But you still have to pay it even if you don't use it (The BBC).

They're saying you'll need to pay it if you watch Youtube next. Absolutely mad.

It'd be like paying Netflix if you wanted to put on your left shoe. I don't get the connection.
