Tax season must be over. Barry is back, and he is as silly as ever.

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

Linypoo

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:

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.
