Shami94 does have a point…he just did

@raphjd:

The BBC tells parliament how much it wants to increase the tax, because they always want to increase the tax.

The BBC negotiates with the government, not parliament.

The TV tax people are run by the BBC itself

Indeed but there is no legal requirement to have any contact with TV Licensing. Just ignore them, especially if you don't need a licence.

I see.   You got me on a technicality.

Ah, yes that old technicality ruse. What the rest of us call facts 

PS You can, and have, called me lots of the things and you can get away with it because you are a moderator

The Seoul Capital Area houses about half of the country's population of 51.44 million people

But you've never let facts stand in the way of a rant before.

I claim my red bar

Are you mentally ill?

Sometimes when reading this forum I do question my sanity. Actually not just mine  :cheers:

The BBC is regulated by Ofcom

The BBC has to comply with the usual media laws like libel and obscenity.

Newspapers do NOT have to be non-partisan; broadcasting (BBC TV and radio and independent stations whether via aerial or cable) does.

Parliament doesn't set the licence fee, the government does.

TV Licensing (the collection organisation for the licence fee) has no automatic right to search. No-one need allow them into their home without a search warrant. Indeed no-one need reply to their letters. And if they do call no-one need talk to them. The onus is on them to prove you were receiving TV (whether via a television or online)

London is known as the 'libel capital' of the world

A crime, by definition, is criminal. Libel and defamation are civil matters.

But I know you guys aren't into facts

I was just teasing. And if I made someone laugh my day was not wasted 

@Frederick:

… the truth is now emerging.

:cheers: Can you tell me which forum that's in ?

Using the search page if you just put in EL you get 15,000 active torrents 

Personally I have had more hard drives break than cables break.

If you mean by not connecting, your hard drive doesn't show up, then the likelihood is that it is kaput. If you can get it to show there is software to recover lost files.

I didn't say anything was fictional, I was merely pointing out the tautology of 'factual proof'.

I wasn't evading answering the question. I had no intention of answering whatever the question was.

Another red bar please

@mhorndisk:

…when factual proof is presented...

That is opposed to the fictional proof we see so much of. Next you'll be explaining the difference between real facts and unreal facts

@mhorndisk:

Trust me…

Oh, we do, except the conspiracy theory bits

@raphjd:

The judge prohibited him and his deputies from enforcing immigration laws.

No he didn't. Please check your facts

So, another red bar for me  :cheers:

Another brown nose for mhorndisk, perhaps

I hate to break this to you but some Hollywood movies are fake too  :cry2:

Erm, does it matter. I don't think Obama is president any longer

If you bothered to read what was said.

The judge didn't ban him for enforcing laws. Is this part of the deflection that someone else talked about?

It's nonsense like mhorndisk's that gets this forum a bad name.

I claim my red bar

@raphjd:

…The judge banned him from enforcing immigration laws.

No, he didn't.

Brief is relative…240 words isn't brief to me but may have been to Leo Tolstoy 

Hey, buddy, really sorry to hear about your Grandma. You have to remember her stories, remember her jokes.

And there is nothing wrong in sharing your feelings. I'm not sure about the professional help but you must be the judge of that.
