I don't mind paying the TV licence, as I don't watch TV, but what I do mind is the goons they send out to knock at your door and claim they have a "legal right" to enter your property and check your equipment. They're bullies tbh.
One knocked at my door abt 6 months ago and when I refused to let him in, stating that I didn't need a licence, he argued that he NEEDED to check and tried to put his foot in the door so I couldn't close it. He was about 60 ffs. I'm not a violent person, ever, but I honestly came very close to punching him repeatedly in the face.
They have no legal right to enter your property. None whatsoever. They use bully tactics and words like "law" to scare people into letting them in.
I wonder how many single mums and old grannies they trick with that "legal right to enter" bullshit.
As soon as they identify themselves don't say a word, just shut the door, you are not obliged to speak to them...
