Barry may have inside knowledge. The TV tax collection is farmed out to a private company, and Barry may know something about that.

He doesn't - unless he thinks being sent an annual letter (which I often ignored) counts as violence.

Barrogant wouldn't last a minute in the UK. People like him are not a protected species here

And as far as the TV license fee goes, it pays for what is still ( for all its faults), one of the best broadcasting services in the world - radio, TV and internet - vast content for around 2 quid a week.

If I didn't have to deal with commercials, I'd pay (US equiv) about $4 a week for unlimited TV and radio.

Here, in the US, people pay $100-$200 a month for cable and STILL have the damned commercials.

If it wasn't for my mom wanting a TV, I'd go back to not having cable or satellite in a second. My son was 6 before he saw a TV commercial for the first time. I could have happily gone the rest of my life without them.

I tried to watch Agents of SHIELD on it's network release a few weeks ago (on my mom's TV) and couldn't stand the commercials. I almost quit watching. I persevered, but haven't done that anymore.

Especially since the average commercial is about as honest, straight forward and useful as an ID sermon.

I cancelled my Sky (satellite tv) subscription and bought a Netflix subscription and a Roku  streaming stick to access iPlayer etc. With that and Freeview I have all the TV I need for a <£10 per month (over and above broadband at 100mbps for another £30 per month)

The only thing I don't get is some of the live sport, about which a shit is not given since my sons moved out.

If having a receipt for your TV Tax was a prerequisite for any [insert minority of choice] getting to vote, you can bet your pension that Barry would be slobbering all over it.

KF responding to a request to debate at TSZ:
“PS: As policy, I will not try to get into debates at sites where abusive commenters are common and especially where — under false colours of free expression — they are allowed or even encouraged to get away with slander, abuse etc. UD is plainly sufficient. I doubly apologise for a potential side-track, and for not having time just now to mount a separate thread.”

IOW, he is brave enough to dish out abuse at UD knowing that anyone who responds with abuse will be banned, but too cowardly to comment at TSZ where only one person has been banned. And, I might add, where there is far less abuse than at UD.


All true.

TSZ is a losing cause. Nothing will ever sway that ilk into anything other than their pseudo-science panderings. If the TSZ ilk could ante up and support their position that would be different but they don’t because they can’t. All they can do is attack ID with their belligerent ignorance. The place is run by liars and has liars for regular posters.

Who needs to deal with that?

I hope KF provides some evidence for this. I don't believe it is true, but will revise my opinion (and apologize!) if compelling evidence is brought forth.

Joe, IIRC, got caught threatening people from his work computer.

KF, I have heard you make these claims yet you have never provided any concrete examples when requested. I don’t know anybody who would condone the behaviour you describe but you expect us to simply take your word for it. Given that this is an OP about evidence, maybe you should provide some. Feel free to remove your name or the names of your family from the incriminating evidence.

By the way, it took all of 30 seconds and Google to discover your true name. It doesn’t help that when I click on your name in one of your comments, it links me to sites with your real name.

With regard to the comment about trying to get someone in trouble with their boss, I assume that the victim you are referring to is the only one to be banned from TSZ. Whenever you bring this issue up, you conveniently neglect to mention that the complaint to the boss was that this person was using a work computer to make threats. And we both know that threatening physical violence is something that this person has done on numerous occasions.

Absolutely none of these things have occurred at TSZ where Dr Liddle has an express policy against “outing”, I quote:

Don’t use this site to try to “out” other internet denizens or indulge in ad hominem speculations. Such speculations may, notwithstanding general principles regarding deletion, be deleted.

and I can see no instance where any of the incidents alluded to by KF have happened at TSZ.

And I have to say it is fairly simple to delve into KF’s life and that of his family by simply following the links that he himself provides. If he doesn’t want us to know, then he shouldn’t post the information in the public domain.

Right now my IP address is blocked so I am using my phone's data plan to post on UD (as not_querius). I figure that it is only a matter of time. But I can't refuse when Mullings pulls this crap.
