Funnily enough, the Wail article does eventually admit to the fact that the high number of cancellations is in large part due to house moves and singletons getting married and moving in together. The number they quoted is an absolute number of cancellations, not a reduction in the overall total. The only useful thing you can do with the figure the Mail has quoted is use it alongside the figure for new licence fee payers to arrive at the total number of TV licences held. Oddly the Mail hasn’t done so. Can’t think why.

But frankly it’s a waste of pixels pointing this out to OB because it’s facts and evidence, which he wouldn’t understand if it came accompanied with a copy of Facts And Evidence For Dummies.
