Some lucky people have no idea how impossible it can be to function when you’re sick and medicated. And it’s long overdue to scrap the TV license.

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
As always, the money isn’t really the point. Like over here where they periodically spend around 10 million AUD cracking down on “dole bludgers” (puke), arguably managing to “save” a few hundred K each time. But it’s Money Well Spent, because it stops Those Undeserving Poors from Getting Something They Don’t Deserve. Just don’t ask about Twiggy Forrest, Clive Palmer, or Gina Rhinehart, who obviously Earned Every Penny. Ultimately, it’s about destroying class solidarity, making the less emiserated workers feel like they have more in common with the capitalists than with the poor.
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
