It's the UK. The person said they'd stop using it but probably got threatened with loss of their television license if they didn't.

I had no idea a TV license is a thing. After reading about it; that has to be the most stupid tax I've ever heard of. Not only that, the efforts they go through, to enforce the tax hardly seem worth it.
