TV Licensing is currently circulating these leaflets to student households.
In a throwback to George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the message seems to be that Big Brother is always watching.
If you receive one of these, just remember that most of TV Licensing's claims are complete and utter bullshit. The reason TV Licensing churns out its noxious correspondence, is because it is far easier to scare people into compliance - irrespective of their legal need for a TV licence - than it is to catch evaders.
TV Licensing has no business with anyone that doesn't legally require a TV licence. Anyone in that situation should immediately put TV Licensing's letters in the bin and close the door on any TV Licensing goon that calls.
Nobody should make the mistake of engaging with TV Licensing. It is a thoroughly dishonest and unscrupulous organisation. TV Licensing employees should not be trusted.
We would encourage students to read our "Student Guide to TV Licence Rules" article for the complete picture that TV Licensing would never paint.
