The madman! Twitter implements "Ukraine state-affiliated media" tag. Outstanding. It’s fucking baffling to me that NPR and BBC somehow avoid the state-affiliated media tag. We should be putting it on NYT and CNN and shit like that too, but NPR and BBC are literally state sponsored media.

But if you don't pay your TV licence, the government will step in to resolve the issue by force.

Would car prices fall if Chinese cars were allowed to be imported into the US?

Would airline ticket prices fall if foreign airlines could fly domestic routes?

Would shipping costs fall if foreign cargo ships could ship freight between domestic ports?

Would prices fall if foreigners were allowed to work in the USA?

Would medical costs fall if foreign doctors could work in the US?

Would prices fall if there were fewer regulations and the free market was allowed to decide which companies were good or bad?

Plenty of people don't have a licence. Just don't have a TV and watch it on your laptop. It's a TV licence not a BBC licence.

Without the BBC there would be no license, what on earth are you talking about? The fact that the government always delay abolishing the license because of the 'need for quality broadcasting' aka state influenced news says it all.you can own a TV for streaming services, games consoles, etc, but must pay for live TV, which is basically the few terrestrial channels all supported by the BBC.
