Just had another letter from the TV licencing lot today. Apparently it is not enough to tell the them once that you have zero desire to watch any of the propaganda that they spout. You are supposed to keep telling them and if you don't, they assume you must be lying and threaten to send someone round to the house to check. It is a bit like the police saying they will come round and check I am not running an illegal gambling ring or selling drugs just on the off chance that I might be, without any evidence whatsoever. Do they really think people actually want to watch it?
I stopped paying in June 2020, right after I came out of a very empty hospital. As I paid annually I demanded a refund for June up to December and got it. I told them I wasn't paying to listen to their convid propaganda any more.

Stick to your guns
You don't have to open the door to them, and you definitely don't have to let them in.

I would speculate that a lot of the "opt outs" are in reality actually evasion too.
Quite possibly
