Tony Rooke refused to pay a TV license fee because the BBC intentionally misrepresented facts about the 9/11 attacks, he alleged. It is widely known that the BBC reported the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 over 20 minutes before it occurred. WTC 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by a plane on 9/11 but collapsed at free-fall speed later that day.

Don't think he got off with it completely...




A 49-year-old man refused to pay his TV licence because he believed the BBC covered up facts about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Tony Rooke, who represented himself today at Horsham Magistrates’ Court in West Sussex, said he did not want to give money to an organisation 'funding the practice of terrorism'. Rooke, who admitted owning a TV and watching it without a licence, was found guilty of using an unlicensed set, given a six-month conditional discharge and told to pay £200 costs.

I wouldn't give them the money for a licence as I watch on demand or plus TV anyway so don't need one...

Wait, what?

The Brits have to get a license and pay a fee to watch TV? A TV tax?

The State also knows who has a TV and how many? What in the...?

Huh? I never knew you needed a license to operate a tv in the UK.
Perhaps we should pass this law across the pond. Taking away the electric teet of disinformation might get some of these mouth breathers to actually think for themselves.

Yes, thats right.

We're forced to pay for a national TV channel because it doesn't advertise, instead it gets its revenue from all 70 million of us, a nice £6-£11 PCM. If you do not pay this, you will be fined, if you don't pay the fine you will go to prison.

Guess what? We also have bedroom tax, too. If you live in a council house and you don't have enough people to use all the rooms, you will get taxed for that spare room.

Next it will be Tax tax, tax on your tax.

Yep...same in my country...the minute you buy a device...any device (tablet, computer, radio, TV)...you must pay our national broadcaster TV rights...whether you watch the national TV or not...they don't care.

Sounds beautiful...doesn't it.

I know...the link is beforeitsnews...

Lately, I have a feeling that any subject concerning 9/11 that isn't in support of the official story immediately goes in the HOAX section.

I remember that this case is real...I mean...the man really sued the BBC...or they sued him...so why is this story a hoax ?

ah I think its because the op linked to Before its News which is now not accepted as a credible source here at ats, thats probibly why its in the hoax bin if op could find an alternate source or even mainstream source mods might move it back out of the hoax bin otherwise a proven non hoax in the hoax bin is as bad as a proven hoax in the ufo forum they wouldnt allow it

"Before It's News" deliberately peddles hoaxes from known hoaxers. That site is banned on ATS as a source of information.

You've been here long enough to know that your statement is patently false. There's a whole 9/11 forum full of threads not supporting the official story. Furthermore, anyone can browse the HOAX bin and see that your statement is false.

The only 9/11 threads in the HOAX bin are the ones that are proven 9/11 HOAXES like the "tv fakery / cgi planes / no planes hit the WTC" garbage.

The original thread of this particular old story is not in the HOAX bin and is in my post below.

I don't know which search you used, but this has been posted going on a dozen times, and the story is going on 6-months old. The previous threads show up just fine in search.

The original thread is here:

seems like winofiend saw this thread coming....


winofiend
I see this as being fodder for future posts.. Judge says he agrees, ra ra.

Sounds to me like the judge, without having weighed the evidence in the case re WT7, sees that from what is presented in front of him, in a legal manner, simply agrees that the guy has a case to be looked at.

Nothing more.

but it will no doubt fuel the flames - no pun intended - of the argument that this was a planned event. Rather than a case of over zealous - once more and yet again - bad media reporting.

Either way, I rekon I'll be hearing about this till the day I die. And not a single thing will have changed.

It was more of a token statement on my part...as I red a piece by Skeptic Overlord yesterday (older thread)...coming pretty hard on the subject 9/11 various theories. I was under the impression that most mods on ATS including the owners...are more or less...supporting the official line. Hence my "lately" comment...

I admit...it was a knee-jerk reaction to this subject being put in the HOAX bin...as for Beforeitsnews...I agree completely about the site.

Why is it put in HOAX?

Why not close it and link to the existing thread?

I disagree and so do many others.

It is also pathetic to pre label things as a hoax.


There was this no plane thread in the hoax section for over a year where a mod was trying to debunk the premise with a testimony that was a lie, or at least a big misrepresentation that involved a testimony of not being able to see a plane, years earlier, opposed to the "debunk" in the thread where he claimed to have seen the plane hit.

The thread was completely removed a few days ago.

perhaps that is because the source is a site known to post hoaxes

And he didn't "win" the court ordered him to get a TV license and conform to the law

Him winning would have been the judge saying "yes you are right, it is not lawful for you to pay your TV License as it would be funding terrorism"

That's why this is a hoax and quite rightly.
