Amanda and I got another letter from the TVLA today entitled “OFFICIAL WARNING” (I have no idea why they are shouting) and goes on to say; “Our Law Enforcement Division has identified that there is no record of a TV License at your address and that you may therefore be watching or recording television without a license. If this is the case, you are breaking the law”…. which I guess is at least true, if rather rude and accusatory and threatening.
It then goes on about their “Enforcement Officers” being authorised to visit my address in my street (not that I live in a street, and an odd choice of words?) to interview me “under caution”. If they find a TV here they will prosecute me and fine me up to £1000, like they do to nearly 80,000 people a year.
All I have t do avoid this nastiness all I have to do is buy a TV License!
Is there not a third way, why am i either a TV License Holder or a TV License Evader, why can’t I be a Non-TV-Watcher? I visited their web site but I cannot find any answer to the question “What if i don’t have a TV?”.
I really hate bullies! It is the assumption that I am guilty that gets my goat. I have no TV, no DVD player, no VCR, no set-top-box, no “computer capable of receiving a TV signal” (why would I want any of these things?) and because of this the TVLA/BBC have no business whatsoever with me.
I hate carbon offsetting. Beth and some mates have made a movie to go with their website, www.cheatneutral.com - full length version on YouTube here:
Longer, more informative and with more swearing, join them on their adventure through the world of offsetting, hear from the people who’ve taken them seriously, and watch them read emails while hungover……..
