    TV licence? Why are you letting the kids go cold just so they can watch fair city?

    It's better than a 300e fine.

    For a start, he said every child should be given an ipad by the state, so stop the pauper moaning as it won't cost you a cent. And, there are some much better tablets than ipads out there.

    Just another anti government rant. Read the article .

    By the State? Who funds the State?

    I don't have a TV licence and the inspector never mentioned anything about a fine to me. It isn't a requirement to have a TV. Get rid of it and buy a tablet :pac:

    Mainly simplified though. Traditional is only used in places like Taiwan, mainlanders use simplified characters.

    The money that will/may be used to fund these ipads could put to better use...like health care.
    I'm in hospital with my kid, no health insurance because we cannot afford it.
    We were 2.5 days in A&E, then 3 more days in a ward waiting for surgery, they are great here..but the system is broken.
    Fcùk the ipads...imho

    That's a very weak argument . We have budgets for a reason , a % goes to each area.
    I can't really afford health care but I make sacrifices so the family is covered

    Property tax...water rates(tax)......car tax....tv licence....all taxes regardless of low income.

    A car and a tv is optional.

    Wow thanks for your contribution! Sure why dont you post every language spoke in China along with every regional dialects or maybe we'll just stick with saying Chinese for a one size fits all for the purposes of this thread.
