    See Edit,

    Just you dont get it, you cant watch TV programs without a TV licence, that is not entirely true. Yes my original statement was entirely true (unlike yours)
    The only legal way to do it is watch a few on line after they have been shown. Did anyone suggest otherwise? Any other method in reality is illegal.

    There are many programs you can't watch without a TV licence. True or not true? True, I didn't state otherwise.

    What point are you now trying to make?

    No, I think the onus is yours to do that.

    You are saying my original statement is incorrect

    No it's not you need a licence to receive any TV signal. Even if you don't have one connected to an arial. If it is tuned in to a channel and receives a fuzzy signal you need a licence.
    The only way you can't is if it is DVD's or recorded content. But if someone records for you and you don't have a licence they can be done for copyright and you would have to prove you did not record it. (so basically get someone done for copyright)

    You also need a Licence to watch some online content.

    Oh dear the whole argument was based on someone not reading.

    Copyright perhaps? you are saying it is legal why is it up to me to prove otherwise as they blatently hold a copyright?
    Would this do?

    To bring us back on topic, it seems as though Loughton on another thread thinks the BBC is biased towards the govt :) that wouldn't be Tory would it?
    Yes. Isn't it a 'coincidence' that the BBC - totally independent of Government of course - chooses to headline CPI at about the same time as the Government has devalued pensions to CPI?

    The last time I saw such a striking 'coincidence' was 15 or so years ago, when 'UK Ltd' started making a loss [Balance of payments including invisibles], this measure was all of a sudden missing from any major reporting, and replaced by "GDP". In many ways, this is an equivalent of a company reporting profits every year. The minute it stops making a profit, it starts reporting Turnover instead. "Ooh look what good boys we are. Turnover up over 10% two years in a row...."

    Turnover is 'good'. But only if you are making a profit. Otherwise, you are simply speeding up the rate at which the ship will sink.

    Increased GDP is 'good'. But only if Balance of Payments is positive (or to start with less negative). Otherwise, all we are doing is paying each other to knit jumpers and make sandwiches for one another instead of doing it ourselves, thereby churning money around the system very well - but eventually we are arranging deckchairs on the Titanic.
