In between legal threats it informed me that "Officers from our Enforcement Division catch 80,698 people every year", which struck me as remarkably consistent.

That'll be why EVERYONE in the country is on their sodding database.

There are many campaign websites on the internet, I run a couple myself, what we need to do is group everybody together who objects and the just stop paying.

I don't think anyone's going to watch that and think <i>Hurrah for TV Licensing, saving us from evil freeloaders!</i> TV Licensing's a private company, by the way - it's one of the few non-state agencies empowered to take people to court (the RSPCA's another).
