At comment #11 he claims the the UK imposes its TV licence fee by the threat of physical violence.

My google says something close to 200,000 people are prosecuted in a year for nonpayment. How would adamant refusal to pay ultimately be resolved? |
Wikipedia: Quote | Licence evaders are liable for prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000 in the UK. |
No beatings, as far as I can tell.
I think Barry's using the hard-core libertarian trope that any government action is coercive physical violence. |
With his despicable belief system (christianity) that is based on coercion and physical violence (threats, stoning, dashing babies against rocks, the 'fear of God', plagues, genocide, ecoside, slaughtering entire cities/cultures, and many other forms of horrible punishment including eternal punishment for disobeying 'God's' tyrannical demands/commands) arrington is in NO good position to bitch about coercion or physical violence by ANYONE for ANYTHING.
