Thanks Dr F...I gave up after 2.15 as he was just rambling on, without getting to the point. I doubt if this chap has a career involving public speaking ahead of him !
But I get the jist...what he, and you are saying is that if you haven't got a TV Licence, you have to go to Court to prove it. This doesn't sound very fair to me but if its within the confines of the law applying to licencing, than I guess the authorities are within their right to take such action, as it is highly unlikely that the Court would allow these appearances to continue if they weren't.
But what are the Licensing people to do about all the fraudsters that don't have a licence ? The BBC is one of best-loved organisations and needs to be funded in some way. I would pay my licence for The Today Program, The Archers and the Proms, all radio if you notice, alone ! A lot of my neighbours don't seem to have TV Licences, which they could easily pay out of their benefits if they wanted to.
By the way, you are on here quite a lot...wouldn't it be cheaper if you were to get a Internet package from your phone supplier, like BT for instance, rather than use a dongle ? It would probably be cheaper and better all round.
