Achtung, achtung... we know where you live and we could call any time.
TV Licensing are at it again, peddling their immoral wares to desperate journos - journos so desperate they'd pawn their grandmothers to fill the otherwise bare column inches.
Their latest offering is a list of "humorous" excuses offered for non-payment. The list, which is almost certainly fabricated for the sake of publicity, includes comedic gems like: "The subtitles on my TV are set to French so I'm not paying a UK tax for something I can't read."
Eagle-eyed members at the TV Licence Resistance forum have spotted that several TVL representatives are parroting the exact same drivel up and down the nation.

- TVL spokesman Jon Shaw said in the Mail on Sunday: "No matter how creative these excuses, people are breaking the law and risk prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000."
- TVL's Fergus Reid told the Sunday Express: "No matter how creative these excuses, people watching TV without a licence are breaking the law, and therefore risk prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000."
- TVL's Charlotte Reynolds told the Carlisle News and Star: "No matter how creative these excuses, people watching TV without a licence are breaking the law. They therefore risk prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000."
It's as if there's a handbook of shitty TVL soundbites to spew out on command.

I note that you've tracked Fishburn Hedges visiting your site - and I'm not surprised. Consider this article in a Somerset Newspaper:

Notice who gets the credit: one Victoria Sykes, TV Licensing. This is more deceit and misinformation. Guess who employs Victoria. No, not "TV Licensing" which does not exist, being a BBC trademark like "Mr Blobby". Try again.
That's better. Yes, Fishburn Hedges!
