Never, ever talk to Capita BBC TV Licensing™ 6

For this blog post, TV Licensing Watch, returns to why people who have no BBC TV licence and no legal need of a BBC TV licence should never, ever talk to Capita BBC TV Licensing™.  Allow us to remind you that, TV licensing, in common with just about every other UK licensing regime we can think of, there is absolutely no legal obligation for people to inform Capita BBC TV Licensing™ that a BBC TV licence is not needed.  A response in Parliament by Culture, Media and Sport Minister of State, Matthew Hancock, confirmed it.  Though for some strange reason, the BBC’s TV licence administration and enforcement contractor, Capita, fails to publicise this basic information.

So, having digressed, back to the subject, why people should never, ever talk to Capita BBC TV Licensing™.  This blog post is going to be somewhat different in that TV Licensing Watch is not going explain why people should never, ever talk to Capita BBC TV Licensing™.  It is Capita BBC TV Licensing™ who are going to explain why people should never, ever talk to Capita BBC TV Licensing™.  The person who will be doing the explaining is none other than Capita BBC TV Licensing™’s hapless, Ian Doyle.  Yes, the same, Ian Doyle, involved in Capita BBC TV Licensing™’s vexatious pursuit of Michael Shakespeare.

TV Licensing Watch calls it Ian Doyle’s Big Big Bragfest.  The educational resource, the Daily Mail’s covert video of the TV Licensing™ Field Sales Officer job interview conducted by, Ian Doyle, in which, Doyle went overboard overselling the job to the point of outright bragging to a candidate who turned out to be an undercover reporter for the Daily Mail.  So, why you should never, ever talk to Capita BBC TV Licensing™ by Ian Doyle, Capita BBC TV Licensing™.  Over to you, Mr Ian Doyle.

Compelling No Licence Needed TV viewing was it not?  

So, do you or anybody else think that Capita BBC TV Licensing™ complied with the “enhance the public acceptability of the licence fee” requirement spelled out in the TV Licensing Service Provision Agreement?

No?

 Thought not.

We can all agree then that, arguably, the BBC TV licence fee is no longer acceptable to the public and further, that Capita BBC TV Licensing™’s resort to dirty tricks, enforcement scams and abuses of process is confirmation that the BBC TV licence fee is no longer acceptable to the public. It seems however that the BBC, would prefer to be funded by dirty tactics enforcement and judicial coercion rather than voluntary subscription.  That, to say the least, is a very strange preference for a media organisation always bragging about how much it needs the support of the public it judicially persecutes plus the incongruity of bragging how popular it is.

In fact, when you come to think about it, these videos make a complete and utter mockery of the Perry Review into TV Licence Enforcement.  How the white collar bullies at Crapita BBC TV Licensing™ must have laughed and laughed and laughed at Perry's findings and recommendations contained in the report: but that's a whole different blog post.

The value of domestic cctv surveillance and handheld video camera can prove invaluable in gathering evidence of the serial abuses and misdemeanours perpetrated by employees of Capita Business Services under cover of the BBC TV Licensing™ contract. TV Licensing Watch advise anybody who has the misfortune to have face to face dealings with Capita Business Services TV Licensing™ to make an audio-visual record of those dealings in their entirety covertly or overtly with cctv and handheld video cameras. 

For people who have not exercised their right to remain silent, TV Licensing Watch advise anybody who has had the misfortune to have face to face dealings with Capita Business Services TV Licensing™ and have received a summons as a consequence to contact a licensed law practitioner if: there is the slightest discrepancy between the actual situation regarding viewing habits and/or what actually happened during the interview compared with what has been written on the TVL178 Record of Interview self incrimination form.
