For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm not sure what crimes are alleged because as soon as I see either Martin Bashir or Princess Diana mentioned in any headline I simply turn the page. However, whatever they are, ask yourself this:
If the licence payer was prosecuted for "aiding and abetting" any of the crimes alleged, do you believe there is a court in the land which would convict him on the basis that he had paid £159 which he is compelled by law to pay if he watches television? Your options are below:
No/Definitely Not/Absolutely Not/What have you been taking?

Yes you can get away with it. It depends whether you comply with the laws Parliament passes or you pick and choose which ones you will obey. Personally I fall into the former category because I have strong principles. And if you don't like them I have plenty of others! (With grateful thanks to Groucho Marx).
Truth has summoned me to:
1.canon oestracher tried this before you were all born
2.he with-held taxes in the proportion of the defence budget ( 1.5% or whatever)
3. on the grounds they(the taxes that is!)were being used to oppress the Gomboolans - shoot rape gas.The usual gamut, nothing new.
4.- and so he ( the good canon) was indicted for - - - whatever ( tax naughtiness). Some damn crime you never heard of
5. and the judge at first instance ( ?magistrate) ruled that this was a case worth hearing (!).
6. Judges arent sane the whole time reader no matter what you might think
7. and the case went forward
8. and Canon Oestracher was poorer by £10 000
9. to wit - thru'ppence ha'penny tax and £9, 999 - in lawyers fees
