My receiving equipment belongs to Sky, so why am I paying the BBC for it?

If it's pre Sky Q it belongs to you. If it's Sky Q you might want to take that up with Sky. Good Luck.

But why should you be the one to report them? I could not do this to anyone. We don't know the full circumstances.

I,m willing to bet that if the BBC had said they were going to increase the license fee for all those earning over £40,000 a year the government would have stepped in and said "Oh no you,re not"

Re: 3.7 Million Householders Will Now Have to Pay for over 75's Television Licence!

I realise many pensioners rely on the radio and TV to keep them in touch with the outside world.
However I strongly believe that if you can afford pay you should pay .
Many pensioners are extremely comfortable financially yet receive this benefit, whilst often young families struggle to keep a roof their heads receive no such benefit.
As far as I am aware no other age group is entitled to a free tv license .

I feel the same about the winter fuel allowance but that’s another can of worms.

Retires gracefully to wait for the fallout
