Licence's
I was flicking through a local paper the other day (think it was the observer) and i was amazed at the amount of folk before the bench for tv licence evasion(half a page)
A quick search on youtube turned up loads of folk who when contacted by TVL company simply say go way(for a choice of better words) c'mon be honest,how many folk pay these jokers? As you can prob guess i don't buy into there bull for 1min :D |

Didn't a guy called Chris start a thread with this subject matter earlier this year? :confused::rolleyes:
At least with the BBC we don't get god awful TV adverts every 10 mins. Compare Eastenders to Corrie - you get much more for your money with Eastenders as it's a solid 30mins - Corrie is basically approx 2 - 12 minute segments. |

Re: Licence's
If you are such an anarchist, do you pay your rent/mortgage, council tax, utility bills etc? If not are you not very cold and living in a tent or squat? You have to be able to stand by your principles or they are meaningless.
In the eighties I did the poll tax protest to the point where I beat the bailiffs but was about to be sent to prison, by which time the poll tax had been withdrawn and I agreed to pay a nominal amount. I was protesting about a principle which I genuinely felt was wrong (but knew how far I was prepared to go, call me a coward for not following it through to the end but I cared more about my children's wellbeing.) I'm actually proud of the fact that I was part of overturning an unjust system. I don't think that you can just not pay your TV licence because you don't want to, if you genuinely don't agree sort out a proper protest, don't rely on the people who appear in Court for non payment who usually have more personal rather than political reasons for non payment. I think you may be looking for a cause to protest against which you have not found. You can't rebel for the sake of it. |
Re: Licence's
My Tv often doesn't get switched for days on end and the few programmes I want to see I could watch later on my computer, so I am tempted to get rid of my TV and stop paying -
BUT I know that I would be harassed so am meekly paying up. I console myself that the fee also pays for Radio 4extra which I enjoy. |
Re: Licence's
You don't need a TV licence if you don't watch live broadcasts. :D

But if you watch tv and don't pay your licence it's illegal and works out more expensive than if you just pay it in the first place.

Technically -There is'nt a law that requires any1 to have a tv licence,,,,i believe its all done by fear and contracts (They can only take action against you if let them take a statement) withdrawing their implied right of access(letter templates easily found) and then ignoring them and there junkmail can be effective, however it's only for the thick skinned (thats why i posted it here :D ) as they like to hound folk

Re: Licence's
I have just watched a few youtube videos of people having visits from the TV licensing people. It wasn't pretty viewing.
There is no way that I could endure that hassle. It reminds me of the sort of hassle that car clampers used to dish out and get away with. I have said that I will not replace or repair my TV if it ever broke, but I can see that even if there is no longer a TV on my premises I would still get hassled. I do not take kindly to strange men on my doorstep trying to persuade me to let them in to search for a TV. Frequently recently on other forums I have seen people declare that they will no longer pay a licence which has been used to finance child abuse. There may well be a developing problem in this regard. I can forsee a possibility that the BBC may well cease to exist in its present form. |

Chris why do you think you don't have to pay for water to be piped to your house and sewage to be treated? also why do you think you are entitled to piped gas and electric? I truly am interested, these are things some people would die for yet you feel you are above paying |

Re: Licence's
If you take a service then you should pay for it..if you don't, then you are robbing people who may be poorer than you.
As someone has said in a previous post, we have had this discussion with your previous alter Ego. Why should you be allowed to have a free ride? It costs money for Gas and electricty to be produced and piped/cabled to your home...the same with your water supply, unless you tell me that you collect rainwater and bathe in that(which I do not for one minute believe) Anyone who doesn't pay is a freeloader...you certainly should not be proud of that. |
Re: Licence's
Freeloader aint the word i use.

Re: Licence's
i've paid these companys thousands over the years so i'm not exactly a freeloader more riding the wave of my contributions :D
I could tell you that For near enough the whole time that I have been at this address I have bought water filters and cartridges (at considerable expense to myself) in an attempt to purify the sub standard product that United Utilities provides BUT I became aware that this does not remove fluoride from the water. I could tell you that Since becoming aware of the ineffectiveness of these filters I have had to purchase fluoride free bottled water (at considerable expense to myself ) and that Currently my weekly expenditure on bottled water is in excess of £15, as i'm not prepared to use tap water for drinking or food preparation and that with said costs i cant contribute to there caribbean island retirement fund anymore. I could also tell you i'm aware that the fluoride UU add may be absorbed through our skin particularly when the water temperature is such that the pores are opened thus we are also being supplied with water unfit for personal hygiene 1.try write to UU and ask for evidence that they are not medicating you and your family by adding chemical additives to your water or 2.write and ask for evidence that the fluoride they add to our water supply is not a bi-product of the agro-chemical industry and therefore deemed as industrial waste, are there are any benefits to us from this chlorined/fluorided water supply? SURELY SOMEONE HAS DONE A WATER THREAD? :D |
Re: Licence's
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...tml#post909799
There is no fluoride added to the water in Hyndburn http://www.wmaf.org.uk/userfiles/Map...and%202002.pdf I filter out the chlorine and (unfortunately) the naturally occurring minerals - so if you filter, you need to make sure you get minerals other ways. |
Re: Licence's
|
Re: Licence's
So Chris, lets get this straight, you have decided not to purchase water that is delivered to your tap. The why is not important, although you avoided the issue by giving us a long winded one, I take it you don't want United Utilities taking away your waste water and processing it.
So in that case why don't you ask yo have your water and sewerage cut off. If you are that concerned why not drill a well. Now on to your Gas and electric, you still have not answered this. |
Re: Licence's
And do you use this bottled, flouride free water to wash in.........and flush your toilet, to wash your clothes in???
Chirs do us a favour and credit us with some intelligence. If you do not pay for services (but use any part of that service) then you are a sponger, a free loader......and you are stealing money from the rest of your community. Rather than coming on here and trumpeting about it, you should be hanging your head in shame . Frankly, I do not care how much you have paid in the past(why should it matter now,you paid for what you used then).....it is irrelevant....you have to pay for what you use....do you steal from Tesco and Asda too? |
Re: Licence's
Why do these taxes like the TV licence,Rod licence etc get away with calling themselves a licence?
|
Re: Licence's
why don't you answer questions put to you.
Well said Marg. |
Re: Licence's
I would be prepared to pay for the service of providing myself with clean, healthy, fresh drinking water, free of all toxic substances as long as United Utilities are prepared to prove the condition of the water to My Satisfaction.( thats My Satisfaction not theres, nor anyone else's after all I am the one who has to drink there sludge However the amount i'd pay would be by necessity.
services are'nt the topic,,,please try and stay on topic :D:D:D |
Re: Licence's
no you are refusing to pay for a service, end of. if you do not want it you should have it cut off.
the simple fact you have not done this means you are a sponger. |
Re: Licence's
Top and bottom of it is There's No lawfully-binding contract between me and UU,,,,,And if they don't want to contract with me but still provide a service it's fine ,,,i dom't think that they have the right to cut your water off (unless your property is unoccupied)
|
Re: Licence's
They do have the right to reduce supply to a trickle.
I suspect that it hasn't happened already because you share a common supply pipe with neighbours. |

Re: Licence's
Services are part of the topic...the licence you pay(or don't in, your case - you sponger) is to entitle you to a service.....in relation to the TV licence...the service is to be allowed to receive broadcasts.
In relation to other services, that you yourself mentioned....they are not licences, but charges for services which you use freely. Gas, Electricty, Water......water includes the disposal of waste water and sewage...(which you produce in abundance)....you obviously use these services, but want the rest of us to foot the bill...that means you are a sponger, a freeloader...no other way to look at it. If we all took your stance, the streets would be knee deep in rubbish, we would not have a safe water supply...it would be contaminated with sewage, disease would be rife,we would have rat infestations fo mammoth proportions.....you would need much more that your so called expensive water filters then. As MargaretR says, our water supply isn't currently flouridated |

The fluoride is there to prevent dental caries (tooth decay) and the chlorine is added to drinking water as the final stage of treatment in order to kill any harmful germs, just like the formaldehyde in the vaccines you're so afraid of. And the fluoride they add to our water supply may be a by product of the agro-chemical industry but it's just a chemical like any other and surely it's better to have a by product that's useful than one that might be "industrial waste". |

fluoride naturally occurs in most water supplies( varying amounts), they routinely add even more of this industrial waste - which i believe use to be used as a rat poison ,,,,but AGAIN that not the topic |

Re: Licence's
Quote:
Why Fluoridation Is Important As for rat poison, here's a quote from the article I just mentioned: Half-truths are commonly used. For example, saying that fluoride is a rat poison ignores the fact that poison is a matter of dose. [Think we may have been here before in the vaccine thread.] Large amounts of many substances—even pure water—can poison people. But the trace amount of fluoride contained in fluoridated water will not harm anyone. Warfarin, a drug commonly used to thin the blood and prevent clotting, was also in common use as a rat poison before it was used in medicine. |

Re: Licence's
Quote:
I prefer to believe this one Fluoride Action Network | Brain "In 2007, scientists from the Neurotoxicology Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency identified fluoride as having “substantial evidence” of “developmental neurotoxicity.” A developmental neurotoxin is a chemical that can damage the young, developing brain." "In July of 2012, a team of Harvard researchers published a “meta-analysis” of 27 studies that have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence. (Choi 2012) The overwhelming majority of these studies found that fluoride exposure was associated with reduced IQ in children. In fact, 26 of the 27 studies that met the Harvard team’s inclusion criteria found a relationship between elevated fluoride and reduced IQ. The Harvard team thus concluded that fluoride’s effect on the developing brain of children should be a “high research priority” in countries like the U.S. where, despite mass fluoridation programs, no studies have yet been conducted to investigate the issue." "As noted by Dr. Philippe Grandjean, an environmental health scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health: “Fluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury, and other poisons that cause chemical brain drain. The effect of each toxicant may seem small, but the combined damage on a population scale can be serious, especially because the brain power of the next generation is crucial to all of us.” |
Re: Licence's
What bit of my post did you not understand?
I am aware that habitual criminals will try very hard to justify their wrong doing in all sorts of ways. Simply ignoring someone is one of those. It is now obvious you know nothing about the finer points of water purification and therefore you are a layman, much like the rest of us. Next you will be telling me how to pilot a Jet Aircraft. But back to your Television Licence and Water Bill theft. Your still STEALING, which makes you a thief. end of:mad: Its quite a simple test, do you receive something or use a service without paying for it? Yes or No Well seeing on TWO counts you said yes, that's Theft. Therefore you are a criminal. Maybe not in your belief, but certainly in the rest of the society of this land.

There's nothing I'd like better than not to have to pay for my utilities. But I live in the real world and know that if I did this while obtaining them from utility companies I would be cheating my fellow citizens and making them pay more on their bills. As Margaret says this is selfish and sponging off others. The only way to achieve your dream is to live in the middle of nowhere, build a wind generator, dig a well, build a reed bed for sewage treatment and chop down some trees for fuel.
You would then be truly self sufficient without sponging off others so why don't you go away and research such a lifestyle instead of coming on here and boasting about how much you can get away with without having to pay for it. The hard work might do you good and we'd all be a lot happier. But I guess you're also lazy and couldn't do that in a million years. |
