Using BBC websites without a licence is entirely legal. As is owning one or more televisions. https://www.gov.uk/find-licences/tv-licence You do not need a TV Licence to watch: Streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus (excluding programs like live sports events/ live concerts) On-demand TV through services like All 4 and Amazon Prime Video Videos on websites like YouTube You need a TV Licence if you: Watch or record live TV on any channel or service Use BBC iPlayer Watching any live broadcast television with a BBC licence is liable to £1000 fine. But like all charges presented against you in court, they have to prove you were doing it. Technically thats possible with specialised listening equipment, but the man from Auntie doesn't have it. You simply never let a BBC license inspector into your house (especially whilst the TV is on), then you advise them they are trespassing and must leave your property. THE END
One of my neighbours has a tracker on his cat. You can see him sometimes coaxing his feline friend out from neighbours gardens! Which is a bit weird
We’ve got the Life 360 app. The kids show their location. I’ve withheld mine now. I’m 55. The kids don’t need to know where I am
15, soon to be 16, when I shall ask them if they want to stop sharing, but it is useful when providing the Dad’s taxi service for picking them up.
Interesting & thanks for sharing. I think I might have wanted to use this app too with a 15 year old, if I had one, and the directions is a great additional bonus! Since posting this, I was having a conversation with my sister and this came up. I was taken aback when she told me that her son who is 40 something shares his location with her, as does her daughter (mid 30's). I never realised that they were all weirdos until today. Hahahaha
Long overdue. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c14vxlxv4kko Some successful prosecutions for what these bar stewards have done to ordinary working people would be fantastic, but I won't be holding my breath.
I thought it might be about the Govt for a minute….. BUT, absolutely right. Fujitsu need to be brought to book too, they were effing about in the ‘live’ computer system (massive no-no) as well as providing flawed software and saying it worked OK. They were even using real people accounts to perform testing. Disgrace.
Only the CPS can decide the charge, so the Police can consider corporate manslaughter all they like, but as soon as Treasury Counsel gets asked for charging advice, they’ll point out the very long chain of causation and the multiple novus actus interveniens that would make a successful prosecution so unlikely that it’s unlikely the evidential stage of the Full Code Test is passed and/or make the proceedings very vulnerable to a defence application to dismiss or a half time submission (of no case to answer).
The average fine is around £180 and think of the tv inspectors as salesmen because that’s what they are and have zero powers.
