A BBC TV Licensing goon has been accused of knocking over a disabled woman.
Amanda White, 50, of Chorley, Lancashire, told The Sun that the as yet unnamed TV Licensing goon turned up at her home a few weeks after she cancelled her TV licence. The goon tried to hand her a letter about her unlicensed status.
She told The Sun: "He was very aggressive. I refused to accept the letter but he chucked it through my door as I was closing it.
"He then wouldn't take it back, so I tossed it outside.
"He had the cheek to push it through my letterbox, so as he got in his car I walked up to his window to give it back to him.
"I had my hand on his vehicle and he just accelerated, pulling me to the ground. He paused for a second up the road, clearly saw I was injured on the floor, and drove off. It's disgusting."
TV Licensing goons, like the shitbag featured in today's article, are employed by BBC contractor Capita Business Services. The BBC, however, as the statutory Licensing Authority, retains full legal responsibility for everything done in the name of TV Licensing.
Based on previous dealings we've had with Capita, we'd fully expect it to deny any wrongdoing on the part of its miscreant employee. That is the Capita default setting, even when the evidence against its employees is overwhelming. We are reminded of previous occasions where Capita employees have attempted to force their way into properties and assaulted members of the public.
Amanda has reported the incident to Lancashire Police, so we eagerly await further updates.
Just a quick reminder to anyone who is new to these parts: If you do not legally need a TV licence, you do not need to communicate or cooperate with TV Licensing at all.
Ignore its shitty letters; close the door on its shitty operatives; and enjoy your legally-licence-free existence without giving TV Licensing a second thought.
TV Licensing simply cannot be trusted and is best ignored entirely.
