I was making the point that it could be seen that the TV goons are targeting women unfairly, having a man in uniform come to your door when a women is alone in the house could be intimidating for some...even men.0 -
Making the "point" that most people caught without a TV license are women is important why exactly?"sexist" wow are you serous?
Nothing you have subsequently said negates my accusation that you are encouraging illegal activity.oh I missed the "encourages illegal activity" comment

It's important because it shows how the BBC salespeople go for the easy targets, the ones they feel they can bullyThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
see above, also see this vid, maybe you see nothing wrong with more women being taken to court for this but at least I would like to understand the reasons why , this guy has some figures for you( right at the end of the vid he gives the figures), number of women v men. 70 women out of 82 court cases he sat in on.

:rotfl: you're funny you loose every argument then just move on to another then loose that one too.
All your cries of sexism is doing is weakening the word for when it is really needed.
For 70 out for 82 cases taken to court to be women, I would be asking myself why, not calling those that have pointed it out as sexists.0 -
