That's because Edinburgh has a more ethnic population. Which means there is
on average more people in each house which equates to less recipients for
housing benefit. In you require further clarification please do not hesitate
to contact myself.

Eh? It may make a small difference (if at all) but it surely
doesn't make the figure more than double.

That explanation flies in the face of this:
GLASGOW still has the most TV licence dodgers in Scotland,
new figures reveal.
The city is once again top of a league published
by the licensing authority on the number of evaders caught
during the year.
A total of 14,662 people were caught without a television
licence in the city in 2003 - nearly three times the number
caught in Edinburgh, which took second place with 5152
dodgers.
Glasgow : 1 evader per 39 of population.
Edinburgh : 1 evader per 87 of population
There are more people claiming benefit in Glasgow and more public
authority housing
I think that explains it better..
More people in each house? Everyone over school age could claim housing
benefit in
their own right.

Simple mathematics old chap. More TVs equates to more dodgers.

See above. Glasgow folk have more TVs than Edinburgh people.
| Quote: | Glasgow : 1 evader per 39 of population.
Edinburgh : 1 evader per 87 of population
|
Glasgow : 1 big issue seller per 100 of population
Edinburgh : 1 big issue seller per 15 of population

Lies, where do you get your info.

Long may it continue. The TV license is nothing short of a tax on receiving
information, which, according to European law, is illegal.
In any case, how is the issue of which city has the largest amount of TV
license dodgers relevant to either this NG or the Edinburgh one?
You whine and bitch about people writing irrelevant posts. Take a page out
of your own book, there's a good boy.

More people in one house could lead to more claimants as I explained earlier..
But I doubt that's the excuse...there are more people in Glasgow
claiming benefits..its as simple
as that. :-(
