Re: Petition by Age UK protesting withdrawal of free TV licences for over 75s

The BBC are getting a real bashing.... I hope it hurts.


No doubt eventually they will scrap the idea but hike the price up for everyone else and we will all have to agree to it.

If the BBC Radio Stations charged just a couple of pounds for the endless replays, of the latest Pop hit records, they'd be in no need of support from the Pensioners.
