I am aware of that.
I also stated if you read carefully, that I said I paid as part of a group of us who share a house while at UNi, I may not pay the full fee myslef but I do pay it and when I am on my own after leaving Uni and home, I will have to pay the full fee too and will begrudge every single penny of it too.
What though does it matter whether even if I had to pay it yet or not, I would still be entitiled to having a view on it and help others who have concerns as to it.

I assure you I know the ins and out of this issue, I have battled as to the Licence fee from aged 15,I think it is ridiculous.

I do have to say I am surprised at your personal comment as to my lack of knowledge of this issue,I rarely get so deeply involved in issues I know little about, I never said care homes had to pay for every TV, I said they would still have to pay a Licence fee, I know they do because on of my Aunts is in a care home and they said they had to, not obviously for every residents room but for an address.
Tenants renting a room from a landlord will live at addresses where the landlord has paid the licence fee so TVs can be watched on the premises, I do research things you know.
All addresses that have a TV have to have a TV licence, that is the law.there is not much else to know as to having a TV licence than that.

A licence fee for an adrdress doesn't have to be in anyones name that even lives there as long as there is a licence for the address, regardless of how many TVs are there.
I think I know far more than you give me credit for as to this issue and I am massively surprised at that too.

I think you are taking anything I have said way too personally - my comments are correct and valid.

With all respect: until you are liable to pay - and decide not to, and decide to make that illegal judgement on refuse to pay: and take your chance on being caught: I do think that it's somewhat unrealistic to have such a judgment on something that simply does not currently affect you personally, having an opinion on something is all fine and well - when you are not in the real life position of making a choice that may very well lead to you have a criminal conviction.

Let's zoom forward a few years when you are living in your own place.

Will you be paying your TV licence?
