TV licence non-payment may be decriminalised

[AgaPanthers]

Apparently one in nine of all criminal cases in the magistrates courts are for TV licence non-payment. Basically our courts are being used for Crapita to collect money using menaces.

70 people a year are sent to prison for not paying their TV licence.

The Tories want to decriminalise television watching.

Let's hope it happens.

Women being sent to prison over this sort of thing is appalling.

Anyone being sent to prison for this is appalling.

Magistrates to fine someone 300 who cant pay 145 is akin to a delayed prison sentence The BBC should change the system and stop
paying departing employess monstrous pay-offs Poor women should not be in prison so the BBC can pay Michael Mcintyre an enormous salary.

Licence fee should just be taken out of general taxation.

Letters, enforcement officers, detector vans, all a complete waste of money.
