1. ) Don't Pay The TV Licence
£147 per year to have .gov propaganda forced down your throat 24/7... I don't think so. By far the best thing to do is to stop watching TV altogether. Within a week you will notice massive benefits and you're now not being programmed for 10 hours a day in to being a 'model citizen' (consumer). Buying a few second hand books off eBay on subjects that interest you will not cost you very much and for everything else YouTube is your friend. 99% of people complain that they don't have enough time for this or that. By switching off the TV you've just gained a extra 8 hours a day... WOW.
You will find you're a much more relaxed and nicer person after removing this highly destructive influence from your life.
2. ) Don't Go To School
School after age 14 for most people is a total waste of time. Ages 14-18 are not spent teaching you useful stuff but to indoctrinate you in to being a good, obedient sheep. Science is all about the environment and how bad we all are..... History is all about slavery and how bad we all were..... Maths is useless shit like quadratic equations that you will never use once you've left school. While the remainder of your school time is shit like PSE or citizenship classes where politically correct types come and give boring Q&A's about various inequalities or left wing ideas.
In life you only need the basics, how to do basic maths quickly, how to compose a letter and a basic understanding of science. Everything else is just BS. BTW I'm not saying that all education is a waste of time, far from it, you should never stop learning. My point is this.... At age 14 you do stop learning anything important and the brainwashing starts. The more brainwashed you are the higher your grades on your exams. A* student = Totally brainwashed idiot who will then go on to university to study some useless shite only to get in to £60,000 of debt and come out at the end more stupid than before they started their chosen course.
3. ) Avoid the NHS
In the UK the NHS operates more like a weird cult than a health service. The reality is that the NHS is so underfunded the doctors rarely have time to find out whats wrong with you, in most cases they will a) misdiagnose you which equals painful and totally useless surgery or b) give you a prescription of some happy pills or addictive painkillers so you'll piss off and leave them alone. Unless you have a obvious physical injury (broken arm, severed finger, etc) the NHS is a total waste of time that will a) leave you in more pain and discomfort than before you went to see them, b) kill you or c) get you addicted to uppers/downers or painkillers.
4. ) Delete your Facebook account
Now for anyone under 30 this is going to seem like a fate worse than a painful death. However Facebook is the root of much of the bad feeling in society today. How free would you feel knowing that you would never be abused, bullied or harangued ever again on FB. That you would never feel that pressure to conform to other peoples ideals ever again. You would never have that constant feeling of how am I going to be unique or special this week in order to get a some 'likes' or positive feedback from someone who I've never met in real life who probably isn't real anyway.
Facebook is not real life, it is not the real world, what happens on Facebook does not matter. Delete you account, say no to digital slavery and mental torture. There is a whole world out there waiting to be explored...... Get out there and see some of it while you have the opportunity!
5. ) Taxation is Theft
Remember this every time you make a transaction. 20% VAT. 25% tax on interest, 20% income tax, tax on petrol, tax on alcohol, car tax. The list is endless.
Taxation is theft. Most taxation happens when a transaction is made a) Try to make less transactions b) Try to limit the tax you pay when you have to make a transaction.
Some people will say..... ahh but who will pay for the schools (covered in point 2.), but what about the NHS then (point 3). In reality most of the money you pay in tax a) either pays the interest on the national debt or used used to bomb poor people in far off countries that pose no threat whatsoever to the UK. Therefore paying tax is either a) lining the pockets of billionaire bankers or b) being used to kill poor people. From a humanitarian point of view paying tax is best kept to a minimum.

I stopped watching tv about a year ago. Took some work cause its still in the house but I never watch it anymore. Propaganda! The Smith-Mundt act was repealed here in the US and it's legal for OUR government to spend our tax money to Propagandize against us! Wake the hell up folks.
I do remember seeing a video of a Brit who challenged the License fee in court and won.
Can't find it now but you should look into it. All Brits should not pay it.
Yeah I've been clean for two around years now. The adverts are the worst part, they are designed to play on the worst parts of the human psyche: greed, fear, envy, self-doubt, jealousy, selfishness, etc, etc. Whilst the MSM news is mostly pro-war propaganda and the TV shows promote a consumerist lifestyle that is far out of reach for most people leading to subconscious feelings of inadequacy in order to drive more consumerism/debt.
