Just gets a firestick, sod Eurosport or whatever shambolic name it calls itself these days 

Which is what I have done ... I discovered last year that the matches - the whole meeting, not just the 'highlights' - appeared on Youtube the following day!

Are you aware that people are now being fined up to £5k for using a Firestick and some poor chap in Liverpool got sentenced to six month in jail for illegal use of a Firestick.

Thousands of people go shoplifting. Is that OK too then?

I run a supermarket and the answer is "Yes" unfortunately..

We don't even report shoplifters to the police as absolutely nothing gets done...

They only attend if over £500 and we have clear CCTV coverage of the thief..

However, as we no longer are allowed to apprehend, unless physically threatened, there is no one to arrest even if the Police do ever turn up..

There are plenty of apps available via YouTube from around the globe that can get you the sports channels...

A VPN can have you watching from anywhere in the world...

The authorities deem it ok by the fact they aren’t bothered about it. The country is turning into a lawless cesspit so why abide by the rules around TV content?

The stores aren't bothered by it either or they'd employ proper security. They'll have a certain amount of "leakage" budgeted into their numbers and will make up any shortfall by raising prices for the plebs (us) queuing at the tills.

I’ve done Security for many years but no longer do retail security. I still have friends that I keep in touch with though who do still do retail security, and they tell me the rules changed a couple of years ago. When I was doing it, we were allowed to use what we called “reasonable force” in dealing with thieves who weren’t playing ball. Now, you’re no longer allowed to touch anybody even if they’re raiding the whole shop. The guards now are simply a “visual deterrent”. Now I’m not sure if that’s the case across the board or just certain businesses, but that’s definitely the case with people I know who are currently still in the trade.

Not to me it isn't - I suppose it depends upon your personal morals.  I do not like to deliberately break any law, others use a risk of detection basis and others imply don't care.

Just had a half price TNT on Discovery+ offer £15.49 for 7 months before it reverts to £30.99 after this will see me through this season so tempted to take it for what amounts to a extra tenner 

 

This offer is good until April 30t btw!
