I would much rather have the choice whether to sign up to this politically correct organisation.... or not.


I didn't know about that. 'Dr Woke'. Brilliant!

From my point of view, I think they should also offer a +1hr service as do the other main channels and then they would actually be offering us a watchable service.

I actually wrote to Auntie and asked that question. The Beeb's reply? We don't see the need for a +1 because you can always watch any programme via the iPlayer.

With all the likes of me, I wonder how long it would be until I get a ring from my door bell. With an official from the licensing organisation on my door step.
They must be millions of us defiant old farts that are thinking the same as I.


Don't give up hope Emjay.

I had an email from AgeUk last week saying they have over 80,000 signatures now against charging for the over 75's licence, so you might be lucky yet.
