minus-squareJunkers_Klunker@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up9·10 days agoNo, TV licence is money you pay to the government and is therefore a matter of national security. Since you’re now a terrorist you can expect a visit from MI6 who will make sure you’re a non-threat from that point on. Source: my ass.
