Excellent, Martin. Your words summed it up with hearty humour. Your photos captured the intensity and depth of revulsion of the corrupt and treacherous BBC crapagandist organisation - whilst celebrating the joyous and creative defiance of the hardy resistance fighters.

On a related note, I'm collecting a tray of threatening 'we will be visiting your area soon' letters from TV Licensing. It's become an evolving hobby with lots of souvenir variants - in bold. I'm now well into my joyful third year of not watching hogwash telly. Best decision ever to stop paying them for ugly unwanted ideological indoctrination.

I stopped my tv licence direct debit in April/May last year. Kept receiving numerous threatening letters. The way to stop this was to call tv licensing cancellation department. I was in line for 32 minutes. Once I got to speak to the human assistant it was straight forward. I did not receive any letter since. Wish you well on this journey🤩

After an agonising prolonged process I cancelled my license in September 2020 and they acknowledged this. However, they send out a renewed confirmation communication every two years - which I deliberately chose to ignore because I didn't want to enter into further communications with them.

If ever I decide to renew my license in the future, I will notify them, fill in their form and pay the fee. Until that time I do not want to communicate with them EVER - nor do I want to be drawn into filling-in their perfunctory update forms, even for the sake of their controlling convenience. It may sound petty but it's my defiance of their controlling procedures. If I cancel any other commercial service it is a final act, so why should I have to repeatedly confirm my original statement with TV Licensing every two years - ad nauseam?

I note that you called TV Licensing - and then had to wait in line for 32 minutes. You'll probably receive renewed letter communications within two years - and may have to go through the whole process all over again. I'm not going through their hoop-jumping malarkey ever again but I wish you well on your path, too.

My sovereign individual cancellation of their service in 2020 was a final End Statement Cancellation to them not a temporary cancellation.

I put it in my Apple iCloud but wasn’t able to see. “ Not authorized. “. Ha, ha. Crazy stuff. You did such an outstanding job and as always you put others first and you are a great person. Our world so needs more people like you.

Accountability is going to rock our society to its foundations.

So very true…… It’s a long time coming.

Your Family.

Much Love.

Thank you Martin for capturing these moments🌟 It is important to share this with people we encounter daily. Share our knowledge on how media used propaganda of fear to coerce people to drink the juice. My heart goes to all that have suffered injuries or lost loved ones. Before my eyes, I am witnessing my mum’s health deteriorating at an alarming rate. Also, several people died from aggressive cancer that killed them in the few months. Sending Love to All💜🌟🦋🌸 Every action you do daily matter. Together we are shining the light on this dark matter🌟
