From Channel crossing to channel surfing: Migrant arrivals' TV licence fees, bowling trips and trampoline visits have been funded by the taxpayer

Illegal migrants' TV licence fees, bowling trips, cinema visits and even trampoline park outings were paid for by the taxpayer, Reform UK says.

The party's 'Doge' unit found more than £24,000 had been spent by Kent county council on the extravagant visits, alongside spending sprees at JD Sports and PCWorld.

It takes them about 5 years to agree on anything and they usually give up on it long before that

There's nothing wrong with charging licencing fees for publicly funded broadcasts because that's a government service. It is exactly like public transport fares. Making it free would mean everyone pays for it equally as opposed to shifting the burden on people who actually use it. You might as well make everyone pay cigarette/alcohol/gambling/etc tax too. This is just another example of how British governance utterly mogs amerilard McDonald's capitalism. We would have had space colonies if you monkeys didn't get brainwashed in 1776.

>>211623376
there are parallels between how the Palestinians are treated and how the whites are treated. You could almost say that zionism isn't localized to the Middle East but is actually a global ethno-religious strategy

In the same way the mere existence of the Palestinians is problematic, so is the existence of whites. And there's no negotiating or complying or placating. It doesn't matter how many cities you relinquish, how many immigrants you import, as long as there are white communities anywhere on the planet, the jewish aggression will just keep ratcheting up. Once they've designated you as a blood enemy, there's nothing you can do but be in total conflict with them.

This is because only women are stupid enough to believe the letters from the licence niggers saying they are about to be prosecuted or police will search their home instead of just throwing them in the bin, like I have been doing for 30 years.
