So let me get this straight, you are embarrassed and think you are a sucker for not stealing? Shoplifting is very common, do you feel like a sucker for not doing that?0

I think it's one of the most common prosecutions in the country....0

It is. Typically around 160,000 prosecutions per year, and according to the BBC there are another c. 160,000 viable cases that they do not pursue.
However, there are a number of technical legal issues with those cases that raise questions about whether this is really serving justice, or simply the financial/political interests of the BBC and the wider Establishment.
The whole thing is an economy-sized can of worms. IMHO.
As I said, I do not condone law-breaking, and that applies as much to individuals breaking the Communications Act by evading the Licence as it does to the BBC and their agents breaking PACE when pursuing them.0 -

So basically, they can`t prove anything, so none of us should bother paying the licence at all.3.975 kWp System, South facing, 21 degree pitch, 15 x Canadian Solar Elps, Samil Inverter, location NE Scotland (Fraserburgh) Bring on the Sun :beer:0

We only watch internet stuff that does NOT require a licence.
What is the best way to let them know so they stop bugging me, I'm getting some seriously irritating letters.

I have an Amazon fire stick, and I know you can watch things that require a to licence, but we do not.
I only watch films and other things that do not require a tv licence.
How can I tell them, what is the best way and the best wording.
Are there any sample letters?Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0 -
I actually feel so discussed by the pedophile ring that was covered up for so long in the BBC that I want nothing to do with them,
I seriously want them to stop bugging me with harassment, as I have informed them already that we do not require a to licenceNothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0 -
Once they accept your declaration that's the end of the hate mail for 2 years, until it starts again.0
