You don't have to worry about the more intelligent people ...... I'm sure they can worry and think for themselves. about whether they wish to be regarded as a criminal or not.

Who is saying no one bats an eyelid at serious fraud as you are hinting at - I most certainly agreed with you 100% when you raised it (time and time again) thorughtout the thread - and I am quite sure many others would also concur.

However, we are not speaking of comparisons to the tune of £100k though - we are speaking of one thiing: tv licence that costs less than a family of 4 or 5 might spend on a night out in a nice restarant once a year.

It may not sound a lot of money: but multiply that by those who do not pay - and then you see the bigger picture (ya see what I did there ). Others have to cough up even more for those who don't pay.

That's hardly fair either is it or those who do act in accordance with the law - it's still making other people pay for your share. What's fair about comparison?
