From Bernard Silverman
Sir: Like Charles Moore, I am innocent of owning a TV set and I received the same threatening letter. I phoned the 0870 number and the employee (who refused to give his name) eventually conceded that I would not need to be interviewed under caution but insisted that my house would still need to be visited.
If anyone would like to found an organisation to campaign for a stop to this harassment, and if possible bring an appropriate civil or criminal prosecution against its perpetrators, I will gladly subscribe an annual amount equal to the TV licence fee.
