I saw with my own eyes a car full of off-duty wardens in their uniforms stalking in wait on a young mother on my street. The young mother said they wanted to force her into sexual slavery and that as a mum she couldn’t leave her kids alone in the car nor in her flat on the fourth floor and they’d always get to her car before she could return with a permit. I didn’t believe her but she pointed out a single female warden across the road and so i crossed over and asked if she was the only warden on duty. She told me she was. There’s been fewer of these foreigners tax “collecting” on my street and I don’t know if it was because she caused a fuss or it was Brexit. The Stasi state’s hard working and experienced, New Liarbar’s mercenaries came here and did that.

Amazing job harassing OAP.

I live in a village out in the country and I've had three visits by goons in the last three years. Fortunately I have a locked gate across my drive so I've never had any contact with them. Soon as they find they can't get access to my property they turn round and scuttle off sharpish. Good to watch.

Prime opportunity to go full Benny Hill: Have you got a licence? No. Do you need one? No... But can I give you one?

I would go so far; as to never open the door for someone you don't know. This was burned into my brain as a teenager. Simply yell through the door, or look through the peep hole. If you don't know tehm (yes, even the police), refuse to open the door, and ensure the door is locked and deadbolted. We even had, and still do, have a security bar, to prevent entry. There's nothing stopping them from wedging their foot in the door to prevent you from closing it,

Profiting on people's misery,seems about right.

Professional Stalkers!

I can believe Amy's story. I worked in retail as a multi drop delivery driver and heard similar stories from other girl drivers (and one who was actually sexually assaulted).

I left UK 44 years ago, I cannot remember when it happened but there was a time when you needed a licence to listen to radio broadcasts! It became the standard that if you had a TV licence, it also covered radio! I suspect that radio licences were scrapped when tranistor radios became the norm in the 1960s? Imagine the goons having to stop everyone in the street with an earpiece and a lead going inside their coat?

Think about it this way. If they call them "enforcement officers" should they not have a SIA Licence? We all know they are just salesmen but they call them that.

I'm 75 in two months and on pension credit so no more TV licence. Ironick because I haven watched TV for over 10 years but other people watch it.

Many teachers have quit in the face of such treatment, maybe that is why there is an acute shortage right now, so the question is, if this woman and others in the enforcement service are all open to the kind of danger she talks about, why is there not a shortage of such people, dicing with death daily, or even driven to suicide, just to 'enforce' people to pay for a licence, whether it is needed or not.

The licence, originally a radio licence, was introduced in November 1923 using powers under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1904, and cost 10 shillings per annum. The licence was extended to televisions at a cost of £2 in June 1946. The radio part was abolished in February 1971.

Hi Jon. While living in Southampton I got a knock from a licence agent who was a woman. A fairly small one at that. I remained friendly and polite throughout the encounter. She asked if I had a license. I explained that I do not anwer questions from strangers. She asked if I have a TV. I explained how that sort of question sounds like she is casing my place for a robbery and would absolutly not be answering such questions. She then demnded my name. I explained that i was not required to give my name to her. She demanded it again, I explained again and said I wanted the converstation to end. She said fine and added spitefully that she could look it up on the electoral register, I grinned ear to ear at her at her and said "OK you do that" knowing I was not on it. My point is that they do employ women, some small ones however they do still try to intimidate.

TV licence enforcement officer sounds more frightening to vulnerable ppl than what their real title is which is door to door salesman looking for £20 weekend beer money.

The thing to remember is anyone knocking at your door and is usually after something, with the financial crisis and the like there’s more of them than a while ago. Remember to keep the chain on the door, it’s not hard to fit one and they are useful to have. Always ask the person who they are, they might try to ask your name or try to get information from you. If they won’t identify themselves then be careful as there’s something they are hiding . A genuine caller will have a valid ID card be happy to say what company or organisation they are from, charity knockers are very good at what they do and rarely stay if you say “no thankyou”. The way a person presents themself is a give away, so if a person with a clipboard asks you 20 questions you can be fairly sure they are not from a charity to help the needy. Tv licence folk like to pretend they are important, they have to sell licenses and their intimidation or entrapment is what becomes a tool of the trade. Let them do the talking, it might appear to be rude to interrupt them. You can wait for them to finish, when they ask who you are you can say “ no thankyou”. They will have wasted their time for nothing. It’s their choice to do the job so leave them outside to enjoy whatever the weather offers. They need you more than you need them,let them walk away. Close the door and make a drink, there’s nothing to worry about.
