They also don't even care about it, just to show they did something. Not sure if it was this video or another, but he said that even government workers use VPN's, bunch of them probably use VPN's.

Dont Government workers have internet paid for by government taxation on the populous?

I believe so, but I believe it's the same as everyone else's, so they'd still need VPNs to see stuff.

Yep, inability for some people to look past things that don’t affect them. There’s an issue with lack of empathy in leadership

The T.V. Tax not making enough?

This seems to be a re-write to be fair. Realistically, a lot of people are paying them money and it's not really enforceable. They send scary letters but their enforcement officers have the authority of a milkman. People just pay it for a quiet life.

This will bring it into the 21st century, to much rejoicing.

Oh for heaven's sake! The monthly internet tax is £11 and is a replacement for the TV licence fee that funds the BBC. The licence fee is a form of hypothecated tax that funds our national broadcaster. The Corporation is one of our most important institutions but it has to be funded properly.

I do wish people check their facts before publishing nonsense like this.
