What sort of country are we!
I see that the story in Kent on Sunday, OAPs suffer TV red card, has been picked up by the local broadcast media. This is the story of how a 81 year-old man, staying for a short period in a residential home will be unable to watch football in his own room without purchasing a full TV licence due to draconian regulations of the TV Licensing Authority.Now I personally, would not watch a football game if you paid me, but being British and English I feel that if one wishes to support our national football team they should be allowed to do so, clearly if you're watching at home you would have to purchase a TV licence, in this case we have a petty regulation, which even unfortunately petty little bureaucrats are more than happy to enforce.
This small-minded bureaucracy is typical of our society, I would imagine the regulation itself brings in a miserable amount of money so why doesn't the TV Licensing Authority just change the regulations.
Also if you happen to be a crook spending some time behind bars you can have a TV in your cell without having to pay a licence fee.

Very true snailspace, still if this old boy was not to pay his council tax, he might get a nice room at an open prison and bingo free TV, job sorted
