Tedious.
In the extreme.
To wade through pages of posturing and posing.
Who really cares?
Who wants to tell teacher?
Or aunty beeb?
Either way, give it a rest.
It's not a pit bull fight with squill ions of cash on a winner.
Why not withdraw and lick your respective wounds?
I watch telly down the pub (where the licencee pays the licence fee, not me) and on the 'phone on catch up and stuff. I also watch it at home where I have a licence. And at the pickey palace with a licence. As did the kids when at uni.
There are lots of black and white rules regarding tv licensing and, like any system of rules, there are ways round them. Likewise, there are words and phrases from which readers derive limited facts and thereafter rely on their own experiences to fill in the gaps. And that's where misunderstanding enters.
That said, it is no excuse for any party to place themselves in an ivory tower and require apologies where their stance is only being revealed bit by bit.
That makes you look like an eejit. In my opinion.
