    I cannot watch ITV without a TV license. Nor can I watch Dave or any other channel. You’re being disingenous. Ant and Dec and the like are paid for by companies in order to advertise their products. If Ant or Dec got caught noncing around, they’d lose all sponsorship and relationships with their sponsors. They wouldn’t be getting protection from all their other noncey mates like countless BBC hosts and employees.

    You shouldn’t have to lie if you have a valid point to make.

    I don’t pay for GB News, Metro or whatever and I have a choice not to support their sponsors. The BBC is only allowed to pump out its shite because the state forces me to pay for it. ITV don’t send detector vans around or get court orders to break into people’s homes. The BBC does.

      Now you’re arguing about straw men. The police have looked into the matter and publicly stated there’s no evidence that merits any investigation of law-breaking, so I don’t know where your ‘caught noncing around’ straw man is coming from.

      If there was illegality at play then people would be looking at this situation differently.

      Your resolution to do no business with any company who have ever employed a criminal, even if modified to specify a restricted class if crimes, is interesting, but I think you will starve, unamused, and self-unemployed.

      If of course any crime is shown to have been committed, and you may have implies, if employment then continues.
