Licence to harass

This morning I got yet another letter from the TV licencing, after cancelling my TV licencing a year ago. This will be the 5th letter I have received from them and 1 visit. The letter stated they will be visiting in the near future to check I am not receiving any of their crap programmes. Which I thought was very strange as someone claiming to be from the TV licencing came round last month and was satisfied I was not watching TV and made an agreement which my partner signed not to visit us for 3 years. So I am now wandering why I've got another letter stating they want to visit us, with a threatening tone.

I think in the last few years that TV has gone to shit, especially after Greg Dyke resigned. I was really excited that Dr. Who came back and but after watching the first series I went on to complain on the BBC Dr. Who forum about how shit it was, and received a torrent of abuse, and was accused of trolling, then later I was kicked off the forum.

These were my exact words "The new Dr Who series is barnyard shite" I never responding to the abuse I received. Obviously these people are nerdy freaks and can't stand to hear their precious Dr. Who is crap. As a viewer I felt I had the right to express my opinion and felt it was as valid as anyone else. In regards to money changing hands for a service, making me a consumer, I have a right to complain. This was one of the reasons I got rid of my TV licence as it was a BBC forum I was kicked off. Also the rest of the programming from the BBC is totally shit and doesn't appeal to me at all. It's dumbed down, boring, and full of labour propaganda. The same goes for nearly all media, especially music.

So just because I choose not to watch TV, I'm treated like a criminal and have people demanding access to my home. The letters I receive from them are always of a threatening tone. Apparently they are supposed to be able monitor whether someone is receiving a signal with their overpriced sophisticated equipment, which TV licence payers are also paying for, so why do they need to keep visiting and sending letters? My only conclusion is there equipment does not work and they are pocketing the money for all this so called fancy equipment. If they could detect whether I was watching TV or not, they wouldn't need to harass me and simple get a court order and send me to court if they found I was watching television, which I'm not. I'd rather suck shit through a straw, than watch TV. I am not alone, I met other people who feel the same way and plenty of other people who also say it's shit.
