Saying there is sod all I can do is untrue, the only reason the police forced entry to my property last year was because I wasn't in. The police apparently had reasonable evidence (actually they had no doubt) that I was committing criminal activities, but they ended up with a lot of egg on their face and an officer was been transferred to other duties.

I don't have to prove to anyone I'm not breaking the law unless I'm arrested and charged for a crime.

TVL are unable to gain access onto my property if I am not here to open the gate, they can however post a letter into my outside postbox.

I take my privacy very seriously, as I said my activities are no business of anyone else.

So, have I ever posted about a favourite BBC program?

I wonder how many times I have commented on recent TV programs. Even if I did, how would that mean I have means of watching TV at home?

My partner does have a TV at her house where I spend about half of my time. (I rarely watch TV when I'm there because it just doesn't interest me)
All of this above just shows that your obstructive attitude is causing you problems ....more fool you

.
It's in their own interest to show they don't need one ,the efforts people go to ,to avoid showing the TVL authorities they don't need a TVL is astounding .If they put as much effort into showing they are acting within the law and don't need a tvl they wouldn't have so many problems ,i have little sympathy for these people .
