accepted, that evidence of membership was provided and that I have not since resigned from that society.
Failure to provide this evidence and the corresponding proofs within the specified time will constitute tacit
agreement on your part that you no longer demand that I apply for a TV licence and that there is no outstanding

would be a matter of complete indifference to me. The argument that the BBC needs ‘licence fee’ payments in
order to operate is wholly invalid. None of the other TV stations need a licence fee and they not only survive but
they outperform the BBC, providing better quality programmes. To claim that the BBC does not have
advertisements is also incorrect as they do have advertisements of their own making. However, the poor quality
of the BBC content is not the issue here, but rather the unlawful nature of demanding a licence and a licence fee.
