Re: TV licenses and the over 75s

I think that the whole thing is just a con aimed at negating our winter fuel allowance!

I get the WFA, share it with the BBC, and Bob's you Uncle, for the government.

It's true. The WFA covers it, doesn't it?
Still, rather in my pocket than the BBC's.

I have to admit that the BBC used to be a TV (and radio) broadcaster admired throughout the entire world.

It still does - occasionally - produce excellent dramas.

But two things let it down these days.
Today, the BBC produces nothing worth watching (in my humble opinion).
Today, the BBC is an overtly left-wing biased organisation and this is an appalling thing for it to be, when it pretends to be our national broadcasting and news organisation.

That because the presenters have to put the Aulter argument to toffs.

What about interviewing Labour politicians?

Have you ever watched Question Time?
