Why we're here:
This blog is to highlight the unjust persecution of legitimate non-TV users at the hands of TV Licensing. These people do not require a licence and are entitled to live without the unnecessary stress and inconvenience caused by TV Licensing's correspondence and employees.

If you use equipment to receive live broadcast TV programmes, or to watch or download BBC on-demand programmes via the iPlayer, then the law requires you to have a TV licence and we encourage you to buy one.

Coronavirus: Stay Safe Folks

Over the last few weeks the headlines have, quite rightly, been dominated by the spread of coronavirus across continental Europe as well as here in the United Kingdom.

The Government's consultation on decriminalisation of TV licence fee evasion closes on 1st April 2020, so we would encourage anyone wishing to make representations to do so.

Apart from that there has been very little media attention on the BBC and TV Licensing, with media outlets understandably focusing their coverage on the nation's efforts to combat the spread of the disease.

We are aware that as recently as yesterday Capita TV Licensing were still conducting enquiries at unlicensed properties. At this time, more than any other, it is important that the occupiers of unlicensed properties realise that they are under no legal obligation at all to communicate or cooperate with TV Licensing goons calling at their home. We encourage people to keep the door firmly shut on any TV Licensing goon that calls.

People of all political persuasions should recognise that the Government is in an unenviable position at the moment. In the challenging times ahead it will act in the best interests of the British people as a whole, which may not meet with every individual's approval.

Please keep everyone safe by heeding the Government's advice on social distancing and any other measures that come into effect in the days that follow.

Look out for your neighbours, respect our essential public sector workers and stay safe.

God bless everyone and see you all on the other side.

Capita TVL will keep the goons a knocking until they are forced to cease and desist by police or Political edict, potentially picking up the virus from a self isolated househod, then spreading it to every house they visit like a Typhoid Mary on steroids. Of course to BBC and TVL, a TV Licencewhether needed or not is more important than someone's life it seems.

We can only hope that TVL's personnel have more brains for self presevation than financial gain, especially in a time like this. Although, this is the BBC's strongarm department we're talking about here, so anything is possible.
